Laptop chargers are built differently that’s why the LED indicator also behaves differently from the other. If your Dell charger blinks while it is charging the laptop’s battery, with my sister’s Acer laptop, the LED indicator in the charger doesn’t blink and has a steady light. You should check first if the problem is with the battery. Disconnect the charger if it is currently connected.

Shut down your computer and disconnect or remove the battery from the battery compartment at the bottom of the machine. After that, connect the charger to the laptop and turn it on. See if the laptop starts. If your charger is working properly, you should be able to start your machine even without the battery and only using the charger to power it.

In this case, if you were able to start the laptop, the problem is with the battery. You should replace it with a new one designed for your laptop model. But if it doesn’t work and the laptop won’t start because there is no power, then you have a defective charger. You should replace it with a new one compatible with your laptop model.
