Check if the LED lights that indicate power are on. If they do not go up, check the battery icon in your system tray (at the bottom right side). The icon should resemble a power connector, which indicates that the battery is charging. If the battery icon resembles a battery, it means that the battery is not charging.

5
Remove the battery from the laptop once again and try charging the battery to a similar Dell Inspiron computer if you have access to one. If it charges successfully, the problem may be with the laptop and not with the battery. If the battery does not charge and the laptop/battery is still under warranty, bring it to the local store where you purchased it so that you can have it replaced.
