Odd Dell XPS M1210 Motherboard probelm

[xero1]

I have a Dell XPS M1210 and last night I had to reflow my Motherboard this got my system up and running. I have only one problem, that is the system does see that it is pluged in. I ram the system for 8+ hours, the led charge indicator on the battery is full, and windows 7 thinks it has over 3,000 hours remaining on the battery. So, the battery is charging but both the bios and windows does not see the system is pluged in.



Now my question is, can I trick windows 7 into thinking it is pluged in?

I need to do a windows based bios update and just for fun I would like to do a windows 7 experience index, because I upgraded my HDD and some more RAM.

If I can bypass the Windows 7 experience index battery check somehow only that would be fine, but being able to do my bios upgrade would be great. I don't think I can though because the bios also thinks the system is running on the battery and I would think the bios update software would check the bios and not windows.

Thanks for any help.

It is a bit difficult to understand your query. What I assume that your laptop does not shows that it is plugged into power adapter. The power adapter indication does not shows on the system tray. Now it looks software issue, I am not sure about the bios. What you can do is try to find battery utilities of Dell XPS laptop. They can be downloaded from official website. Second thing just ensure that the power adapter is charging your laptop. If not it is can be dead.
