Hi mrdd13Shaldr,
Please follow the below steps which may fix the issue:
1. The first step which I would recommend is to remove the power cable and the battery. Hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds and then put the battery and the adapter back in and start the computer. Check if it works.
2. Please check the jack on the AC Adapter for any damage.
3. Have you tried with a good known AC Adapter?
4. Look for a green light on the A/C adapter or a blue light on the connector that connects to the computer.
If still the issue persists, restart the computer and the moment it starts start tapping the F2 key to boot the computer to BIOS where you would be able to find AC Adapter Type under : Main Menu”., Let me know the status (‘Unknown/ Not Detected / 65W / 90W / 130W'.).
If you get the status as 'Unknown / Not Detected' then reset BIOS to defaults:
- Restart the computer, tap 'F2' key on Dell logo 4-5 times
- This will take you to the main screen of BIOS
- Press ‘F9’ key once, highlight ‘Yes’, press ‘Enter’
- Press ‘F10’ key once, highlight ‘Yes’, press ‘Enter’.
If the above steps do not work, it might be an issue with the DC-in port and may require replacement.

You can refer the Dell Article 266440 on http://dell.to/XULgT1
