Not sure if this is relevant to your situation but worth a shot I guess. Found this in a Google search.
Dell Inspiron Mini 9 - Battery Not Working
Quote:
I have been working on this issue with my friends Mini 9 for a couple of weeks now. The only answer on the forums is to update the BIOS to A04. I did the update, but it did not fix the issue. It has been very frustrating, as no one seemed to have a solution. Last night I stumbled across another blog that gave me the answer.
THE REASON: The reason that the battery is not charging, is because the OS (Ubuntu) thinks that it is in Airplane Mode. When in Airplane Mode, the battery will not charge.
THE FIX: Make sure that Airplane Mode is NOT enabled. Go to System -> Preferences -> Airplane Mode.
NOTE: When I first checked my friends Mini 9, it said that Airplane Mode was not enabled. I wanted to make sure though, so I enabled it, and then disabled it. The OS immediately saw the changes and began charging the battery. The Mini 9 now has no problem charging at all.
