We got a new battery for my dell Inspiron. When I installed it and plugged in my charger cord, the cord went out, and the laptop shut down. Now it won’t power on at all. I have tried removing the battery, and plugging in the power cord, that doesn’t work. Suggestions?

It is most likely a short in the mother board. If you have another Dell power adapter available then use it to see if you get the same result. If you suspect the battery then remove the battery and connect to the power adapter, if you get the same results then it is the mother board.

It dosen’t sound like a battery issue, it sounds like its you’r wire or the charger socket. So you would first try a new plug and if that dosen’t work then replace the charger socket.
