I don't think so because it only goes out when plugged into the computer. I read that it might be some kind of short circuit, but I haven't done anything to it for that to happen.
It is a fairly new Dell laptop, barely over a year old, and the charger light will be on when it is only plugged into the wall, but as soon as it is plugged into the computer the light just goes away. I don't know what to do to fix it.
