I managed a few hundred Toshiba and Dell laptops, so maybe I'm
recalling Toshiba, but a couple machines developed a situation where
batteries wouldn't charge and there was an elaborate proceedure for
resets, discharges and recharges to get things back in sync. There
werer notes in the vendors web site that covered it. I had
vendor support then, and they pointed me to it,


Look in the Dell knowledgebase or even call them to see if this
applies to your machine,

You can buy a drop-in charger on ebay for a few bucks as a work
around.
