I had exactly that happen on a dell inspiron and it was not charged
for 2 weeks, dead battery.
Definitely worth checking the battery.

I think that must be the next step. It's also what the brain dead Dell

It will not charge either with the computer on or off.

(BTW, it's a 700m, not a 600m, my mistake.)

Thanks.

P.S. Whatever happened to batteries with just a + and - you could charge
from a DC supply??? Yes, I know the answer....
