this worked great for the first few months in my Dell 15r but now my computer will not recognize it, any ideas?

If you are in a seaside environment, there may be some contact corrosion.Take a close look at the contacts.Also, vendor says to discharge battery on first use, then allow to recharge.Try letting it run down all the way, then recharge (without using the laptop).Shots in the dark, but who knows?

Sorry, I don't have a clue , but I've noticed that the battery I bought (about 3 months ago) from the same seller, it's performance started 2 days ago to decrease it keeps my dell 15r up for only 50 minus after full charge!

I have an E6520 and my laptop wouldn't recognize it. I tried all kinds of solutions that I read about but in the end I sent it back. Not sure what the problem was.

If it doesn't recognize it I would return it for a different one. It is probably the programing. Or try dumping ur system cache. But save all ur data to a memory stick first.

I am having the same problem. It won't show up on my control panel and the computer won't detect it as a hardware device. I have some pretty important stuff on it too. I don't suppose you found out how to make it work since you posted this comment?

I had that same problem, and it turned out I needed a new motherboard. You should call Dell.

To be honest I'm not sure. I've never opened it up, but Dell may have answer or some third party memory finder websites. Apologies.

I have the same computer and i bought this battery. It worked well for about a month and then crash, the computer stop recogniizing it. I end up buying the original from Dell and although was a little more expensive I did not have any problem since then.

Sorry, I don't know. I contacted Dell to find out what replacement I needed. Try doing that first.

Even if it can, it will stop working all together within three months. My company purchased two in a row and both had the same problem. The customer service by Dell was terrible as well. Get something else.

No it won't recognize it as dell (atleaat for me it didn't) I'm not quite sure the dementions.

Sorry I don't remember if it was a Dell and I no longer have the computer. I can say it functioned well in the Dell laptop while I had the computer

My suggestion would be to reboot, go into windows in safe mode. Once in safe mode, go to device manager, check for any issues. If you have another computer or laptop that works fine, find any drivers (network) from dell. Use a thumb drive and transfer the drivers to the machine with issues. you will be able to install in safe mode. NOTE: this all could be done from your regular boot. I use safe mode a lot to check things...

If it was bought new you should have a warranty through Dell I would probably go through them. Usually in a case like this in my experience if you contact Amazon they tell you to contact the manufacturer anyways. Hope this helps. :)

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I bought my battery for this type of computer. I also ordered a new charger as well, It works great after I charged my computer for 24 hrs. You may need to buy another charger. Did you charge yours????

Just make sure that your computer does use one of those model numbers. My Dell Computer has a model number on it, so that's what I ordered. If you did order the right model number, than send it back if it doesn't work, I would.
