Read the manual.
This will answer some of your questions. I was on the Dell website and see the manual, but again was not helpful | My System Specs |

Unless your power brick is damaged and not providing enough voltage. I would follow the above steps, if this dosent fix the problem i would borrow another power brick to confirm yours is faulty. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP dv6519tx OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU 1.80 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7100 Memory 3 gig ddr2 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 15.4” WXGA High Definition BrightView Widescreen Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 Keyboard 101 key compatible Mouse Touch Pad with On/Off button and dedicated vertical Scroll PSU 90 W AC Power Adapter Cooling Kitchen plate under the lappy Hard Drives Hitachi 320 GB (5400 rpm) Internet Speed Three Wireless internet prepaid using E160G USB dongle |

Okay, because it doesn't have other solutions to fix the problem, probably or 95 % must buy new power brick. I tried very solutions but that is not helpful to fix the problem :S | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 1525 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Service Pack 1 CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7250, 2.0 Ghz, L2 2MB Motherboard Intel Crestline GM965 Memory 4 GB of RAM DDR2 Graphics Card Mobile Intel (R) GMA X3100 384 MB Integrated Sound Card SigmaTel STAC9228X @ Intel 82801HBM ICH8M Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor (NoDB) 15.4" Screen Resolution 1280x800 Keyboard Dell HID Keyboard Device Mouse Microsoft USB IntelliMouse Optical Hard Drives 160 GB SATA Internet Speed 6 Mbps ADSL |

The point in the reading the article I pointed to in my earlier post was that this sort of situation has been reported on and investigated by Microsoft and they have given an explanation of why the problem occurs. They have also explained why the symptoms were not seen using XP...its well worth the read. The upshot is , that if your system is reporting that you should consider replacing your battery, you would be advised to take the advice. Sorry for the bad news , but thats the advice.... | My System Specs | | |

Go to device manager and expand batteries. Right click Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery and uninstall it. Then reboot your laptop(it will automatically reinstall the driver) and hopefully it will say it is charging. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus K60IJ OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 Motherboard HP Laptop Memory 4gb PC-6400 Graphics Card Integrated Intel GMA 4500 Sound Card onboard(laptop) Monitor(s) Displays 16" Screen Resolution 1300 X 766 with true 720p HD support Mouse Microsoft 3000 laptop mouse Hard Drives 320GB 5400RPM Internet Speed 15mbit+ down and 768kbit up Other Info 1TB external Western Digital Essentials HDD |
