I wish my lappy would work. Stupid Dell.
I don't know you well, but congrats.
Re-install Windows.
It's not the fact it's a dell so much as the OS and the crap they cram with it.
Sure, Dell produce really cheap crappy hardware but it does the job and unless you move your laptop around daily (ferrying it across town, biking or heavy walking) then it should be OK unless it's defective which seems more likely.
If anyone out there can afford it, for christ's sake, get a mac.
They're solid machines (Aluminium casing and they're known neutoriously for the titanium varients which can take a bullet but the aluminium versions can be ran over with a car and still be fine), they're fast and they now run Windows too, should you need it.

I'm using a Fujitsu Lifebook loaned by the school.
It's probably one of the best laptops I've used. Last year we had Toshibas, they pretty much imploded after a few months of usage, especially since we had to move around a lot in school between classes.
To top it off, the 'tech guys' at my school are vegetables. They seem live by the word: "REIMAGE", which wipes the laptop and re-installs windows. Even if you got a pencil through your monitor, they'll re-image it, give you a 200 dollar (AUS) insurance job and give you a new screen which isn't even compatable, thereby making the whole thing redundant. They also seem to hate Firefox, but one time when I told them about it, they showed me something on Internet Explorer and it crashed on them. I simply said:
"I rest my case."
And that's a huge reason why I take good care of my laptop. I'd rather fix it then the vegetables at the office.

It's not that. The battery and hardware aren't reading anything coming from an adaptor for my wall socket.
