Hi,
To begin with, remove the power cable, battery and disconnect all peripherals, then hold the power button for 15-20 seconds and put the battery and the adapter back in and start the computer, which may fix the issue.
Please check if the system is working fine with AC Adapter only.
Try charging the battery with the notebook turned off. Let me know if the same light flashes
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 (None, Unknown or Shows the power).
Press F9 to reset the BIOS to factory default.
You can also refer to the link for AC Adapter and Battery issue:
You can refer the Dell Article 266440 on www.support.dell.com
Try swapping with a known good battery (If available). If known good battery works, then it’s an issue with the battery.
Note- The actual battery life will vary depending on the battery size, computer configuration, and computer’s usage. A battery's average life expectancy is 1 year. After this time, it is normal to experience a decrease in battery life. So if it is more than a year old, would request you to replace the battery.
Please reply if you have any further questions
Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
