How old is the laptop?

Also, all Dell laptops have some sort of self-diagnosis software in the firmware. Try running it and see if there is any issue with the laptop or battery.

Could be charge port on the laptop went kaput. Take it to laptop repair shop only they will be able to tell the accurate reason.

Could be the power regulator inside the laptop gone kaput. My old Dell XPS 15 L501x had a similar issue. I went to a local trusted repair guy to get it fixed. I think I paid 2.5 to 3k and also had my laptop cleaned and thermal paste changed.

From the model number, it looks like a decade old. It has 2XXX series i5 processor.

Go to a local repair guy. See if it can be repaired for cheap. If it requires changing the motherboard, then don't repair it.

A simple charging port repair or faulty charger will be cheap.

I got my laptop repaired in Bangalore. Battery I guess Amazon or flipkart is your options. I used to buy from ebay.in.
