Back in the middle of Oct. my computer stopped accepting AC input at all. Much like your problem I could not charge my battery. Since then I have been given an external charger and a couple of extra batteries. This has helped get me along until I was able to afford to order a replacement motherboard (refurbished). I was able to get the motherboard from: http://www.parts-people.com Their prices are fair. And they are one of the few people who carry motherboards for Dells. They also will repair them. Base price is $100 + parts. I might suggest you look at their website and if possible order a board.
