Hi, 

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 (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 

Please reply for any further assistance 

Thanks & Regards
