I've been told replacing it is as expensive as getting a new laptop. By the way, did it die around the 2 years mark?

At like 1 year.

At like 1 year. If I do get a new charger and I plug it in, and it charges the laptop wouldn't it just run normally? The battery is only drained to 0% so it died.

Aaaaah, OK. When you say 'battery died', it means the battery is no longer functioning, so even if you connect it to a proper charger, it wouldn't charge.

Yes, try a new charger and tell me how it goes.

So my Dell Inspiron 3552 isn't charging. And when i plug it in it sometimes shows the charging symbol at the bottom right and says: "plugged in, not charging." I'm confused about whether it is the charging jack or the AC adapter charger itself.

The end of the charger which you plug into the jack is basically always bent when I'm on my bed. The charger jack is on the left side of the laptop and I have to bring the charger from the right.

I should add that I was getting the message "45W AC Adapter cannot be determined" or something like that.

I've noticed when I play around with the tip of the charger when it's plugged in, in some postions it would show the charging symbol and I would have to keep it there steadily or it won't show it anymore.

I'm usually on my bed with my laptop so if the end of the charger is bent would that have affected it? If not then would the charger jack be the problem?

The lesson here is don't buy dell! Substandard laptops since 2009.

Bro take out your battery and turn your laptop on. Then uninstall the battery drivers and shut your laptop down. Plug in the battery and see if it works.

If you don't have a cooling pad then put your laptop of egg boxes so it doesn't heat up.
