Have you tried with the battery out of the machine, and only the AC power to it directly?

What model laptop? Service Tag?

Okay, it looks like the laptop is covered under warranty.

Contact Dell so you can troubleshoot the machine, and they can send replacement parts as needed.

You will need the company name of the service tag. This means wherever you got it from, or the company that purchased it.
