Dell Inspiron 3501: The charger that came in the box has started giving me issues.

Wed, 10 May 2023 06:00:06 -0700

I purchased my laptop in mid 2021, and it was great. However, about 2 months ago, the charger started to become very sensitive to the slightest rotation or movement. Now I need to use it a bit more, but it is nearly impossible to do any work without hearing the dreadful "unplugged/plugged in" chime. I have isolated the issue to the connection between the connector and the laptop port, since I have not found anything wrong with the wire itself.

Picture of the connector:

Dell Inspiron 3501: Why does my audio no longer work?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 11:15:34 -0700

My built in speakers no longer produce sound. In addition my built in microphone no longer detects sound. Also, the audio jack port, no longer seems to receive signal from external devices plugged into it. The only method I have found that allows me to hear audio from my laptop is by remotely connecting a blue tooth speaker or head phones. As well as using a non-aux cord to connect the laptop to another physical device with it's own speakers. I have already taken this to geek squad at best buy, and they ran a software check and it worked in store, but I am now still experiencing problems. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem?
