this month so far I have had 5 Dell Inspiron 1525 laptops come in all with the same issues will boot up but will not charge the battery. ( as a seasoned tech I just took them in as DC jack failures) I made a purchase of a 3 pack of DC Jack boards for cheap) well I got my dc jack board replacements earlier last week and did a replacement on 2 of the laptops and found that this did not fix the issue, I google the symptoms and find that this has been going on since 2010 it has to do with an ID chip on the motherboard that fails and the easiest remedy is to get an external charger for the battery ( which is stupid and pointless IMO )
I did the BIOS update on all of them, as suggested and it did not change anything.
So my question is why did they all decide to come in this month (do they have TTL's on them or what? ) has anyone found a work around or a cheap fix for this issue.
