My dell studio 1555 laptop charging port is faulty and i like to know alternate solutions than servicing the motherboard Is there anyway other than adapter to charge the Laptop ? Can i separate my Laptop battery(11.1v 440mah 6cell) and charge it externally and use some sort of cable to connect laptop and battery ? (I know this is crazy) but is there a way to do like that ? So the Laptop be always on Battery
