My laptop has 2 mins left on powersaver. It is plugged in at both ends but not charging. I've tried 4 different outlets.
Any tips?

Something is wrong with your cable or battery, I'd assume.

It's your alternator.

i had this problem with my phone and its charger, every outlet i put it in didnt work, so it was either the phone or the charger, but i tried my sisters charger, and it did the same thing, so i would assume it to be with your laptop, not the charger.

I dunno how you guys have it down in the states but up in Canada they're great.

you guys suck... lol

I've never had any problems with Dell Laptops before.

You got lucky then. On my current laptop I have had the keyboard replaced twice, the mouse and palm rest replaced once, the fan replaced, and the battery goes from 100% to 30% in about 15 minutes of use, so that will have to be replaced soon.

And this has all happened within a year.

def battery or cable issue. cable might be easier to test out than a new battery
