Dell Vostro 1000 Charger not working?
I have a Dell vostro 1000 laptop and the charger doesn’t seem to be charging. I have heard of issues like the charger, the battery, the motherboard socket and I am really confused on what it is. Going to Dell website does not help and their troubleshooting guide is pretty useless.
Can someone help me fix my Dell Vostro 1000 charger please?
Depending on more details, the issues can be the charger, the battery and the motherboard socket. I would recommend that you can:
1. borrow a friend’s charger that works on your laptop and see if it will charger, if it does, then the problem is your charger.
2. Use your charger on other laptops, if it charges their laptop battery, then the problem is not your charger.
3. The motherboard socket problem is hard to determine, you can take the laptop to a local repair shop and see if they can determine the cause.
As more information, if the laptop shows “Plugged in, not charging”, the problem is usually the charger because it means the laptop cannot detect the charger is Dell branded. There is a chip that is in Dell’s charger that the laptop can identify, if the chip is damaged, the laptop will not allow the charger to charge the battery as a “protection.” So do not buy universal chargers for Dell laptops too.
If you are going to buy a new charger, I would recommend buying from Topmic.com because they offer lifetime warranty and free shipping to all charger at a good price. With the lifetime warranty, you don’t really have to worry about the buying new charger if it breaks.

“Dell Ac Power Adapter Not Determined” Problem And Solution
The “Dell AC power adapter type cannot be determined” problem
This problem actually popped up on me a few months ago, but I was able to remove and insert the power cord a few times and the message would go away and I would be able to charge my dell inspiron 1525 battery. But as a month or two passed, it became more finicky, and I had to jiggle with it a little more, but still, I was able to charge my battery and use my laptop wire-free.
Now today, I’ve been trying all day, and cannot for the life of me get the dell laptop battery to charge. I get the following message when I plug the wire in.
“The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 65W AC adapter or higher for best system operation.”
Also, I think its worth nothing that a lot of people mention that this error message comes up while they are booting their Laptops, mine only comes up once Vista is loaded and I attempt to reinsert the cord.
So, I have tried another Dell charger, a 90W Dell Inspiron 1525 battery adapter, and the same problem does occur (My original is a 65W). I am planning on getting a different battery tomorrow to see if it is the inspiron 1525 battery, as this ones usable life was getting quite low, down to barely a half hour per full charge. My warranty, although I’m not sure of the specifics, was not expired when this problem first came up, but is now expired by I would say 2 months at the most.
The problem happens frequently at Sony VGP-BPS8 Sony VGP-BPS9 and so on.
Dell’s Customer service reply :
“I am sorry for the frustration, but I am 100% confident there is no conspiracy afoot to sell dell ac adapters by designing them to fail. We warranty those parts and designing them to fail would drive up warranty costs. If your ac adapter needs to be replaced, I will be glad to dispatch you one myself [out-of-date information removed].
To all others on this thread, if you would like me to replace your ac adapter, please contact the site mods here to get my email address. Then email me your service tag, name and current ship to address. I will overnight you all replacement ac adapters and power cords. Thanks for your patience.”
The Dell support solution about “Dell AC power adapter type cannot be determined”
1. Update the bios (I have A01, A03 is out). Ok, but I can’t. In order to do so, you must have the battery and the dell AC Adapter plugged in or the update program gives an error and forces you to cancel.
2. Motherboard needs to be replaced. Don’t think so, it worked just fine before on the older AC Adapter. Plus if they searched this forum they would see that that did not work for others with the same problem.
The simple solution about “Dell AC power adapter type cannot be determined”
1. buy a new dell inspiron 1525 AC adaptor,
2. Cutoff the connector, remove all the rubber from the connector, trim back and remove the covering from the end of the cable, (where the connector was cut off) then resolder the little wire back to the center pin, then reconnect the existing + and – connections from the cable to the connector. Observe good soldering of the wires connected back as not to melt the insulation of any of the wires. When finished use meter to check for shorts before you reconnect power. Also if you have any Heat shrink tubing apply it over everything you just soldered. Otherwise use Electrical tape. BE CAREFUL AND DON’T WORK ON THE ADAPTOR WITH AC POWER ON. AND DON’T FORGET TO CHECK THE POLARITY OF THE +++PLUS+++ AND —MINUS— WIRES.
3. Go on EBAY an find a new cable that goes between the adaptor and laptop and replace it
