I really dont know, It never happen to me. Probably you should returned the one you order and ask for new one, mine works just fine. I am sorry for not being of much help.

This battery will fit but there is a chance it will not accept a full charge. I bought one specifically because it was new and not refurbished, but when I received it my computer battery monitor only reached 50% or so on the state of charge. It only lasted 30 or 40 minutes after charging when a new battery is supposed to last 1.5 hours or something greater than this battery. I failed to take care of the return within 30 days and now I'm using the old battery with this 'new' battery sitting in the garage ready to throw out because it's useless. I still have no solution. Buy from someone else.

You might want to double check that you ordered the right battery (that the model on Amazon mamatches your laptop). Regardless, if it doesn't fit, juat request a refund. The sooner the better.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

I have had NO problems with this battery. My laptop works just fine. I do not think you will have to send it back. I would need to know about the electricity in your country to see if I would offer any precautions. You may need to condition the battery, or maybe not.

Compare to your old battery for the correct size and output. Also make sure your computer is listed when you pull this model up on the amazon website. I always input my computer model in amazon search and it brings up a compatible model.

Are you sure this particular batter is compatible with you model of Dell? I had no problems with mine. You may also try reinstalling the battery. When I tried to install the first time I didn't get the battery seated properly. Beyond that I am at a loss.

The battery slides in perfectly and properly fits in the computer. The computer also sits flat on a surface. However, since the pack has extra cells, it is larger. When the computer is closed and you look down from the top, the battery sticks out. Cara also described the issue correctly. I have no problem and am happy with the battery but if you do not need a longer run time and you do not want your computer to have a bit larger "footprint", stay with a six cell battery.

Really don't know what could be causing this. A guess would be a defective charger or some other hardware problem. When I got my battery, I just took it out of the box, put it in the computer and let it charge. Been working fine ever since. Perhaps you could look on line with Dell 1545 laptop not recognizing battery." Usually, other people will experience similar issues.

I checked the sticker on the bottom of the laptop for the batteries model number. If that fails.. google the make and model of your laptop followed by battery and something should come up.

I have just recently purchased this battery for my N5010 and when I put it in my computer I get a popup that says the model number for the primary battery cannot be determined and will not charge my battery. It also says no battery is detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If this is an old battery replace it. If this is a new replacement battery, my guess is defective battery, because charging must be working. Laptop works until charger is unpluged.

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

I personally did not find anything "normal" about this battery. The charge only lasted minutes and would completely shut down my netbook with no warning. I would be concerned if its already making noise. I returned my battery for a refund.
