Dell studio 1535 "hungs" while charging

Thanks Willy,I took your advice and changed the battery, but the problem still persists, i also tried plugging it to power without the battery to see if it could work that way, but it still had the problem, what could be wrong, or is it a software problem?

Systems that use AC adapters to charge have a weak link and that's the actual "connection charging port". Be sure its not broken or wiggly(if possible) as these tend to break or move and/or breakdown the simple connection or solder lands found there. The tech. repair centers usually swap out the mtrbd. as a fix or use a small pcb(if so found) as a fix as well. Inspection of this area usually means a tear down to verify all this. Again, this may not be your problem but nothing can be left to chance.

As for s/w, if so then only a reload of those parameters are found. At this time, I don't think there is a separate reload or refresh of that pgms. if found(guessing here). I'll check and see what I find.

I found possible reference to a bios update, to A6, verify what bios version you have, it maybe current A1 or A2, any later bios update beyond A2 should work or having the latest available will do.

Look into your power setup/options, verify its set to "balanced" or similar words. If not, set it at that. If that doesn't work, reboot and hit F8 to enter boot-up options and select the last entry, do it and when done, exit and repeat the step above, balanced setting. Hopefully, if no other issues it should start to recharge battery.
