I have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop.
The battery of the laptop was completely discharged.
I connected it to the AC power so that the battery will charge. After some time I shut down the system by pressing the power button . Please note that accidently the power button was pressed for a long time and then there was a beep.

Now if I TRY to charge the laptop it only turns on the display light which indicates that the power is on .

It does not turn on the display light which indicates that the battery is charging.

The display light which indicates that the computer reads or writes data flickers sometimes but does not remain turned on for a long time.

Is it that the computer is in the power management mode and the battery is not getting charged.
Can it be possibly due to pressing the power button for long time until I heard a beep.


Is there something WRONG during POST

Please help me find a SOLUTION to this problem.

Thanking you.I'd unhook it from the MAIN and remove the battery and let it sit overnight.
Then hook up only the AC and see if it boots...
If it does power down and re-insert the battery and let it get a full charge.
