I have my laptop currently plugged in, as the battery is at 12%, and is running off of the AC adaptor, but the laptops battery isn't charging.
I am using a DELL Inspiron 15, and the charge is the one provided with the laptop, but I have changed the AC cable into the power brick out to a longer one, which does cause it to complain about it not being a genuine charger.... because Dell? but this has never stopped this laptop from charging in the past

The charger is probably on it's way out, Dell chargers are notorious for this.  After some use the wire connecting the sense pin in the center of the plug to the charger breaks of comes loose and it stops being seen as a genuine charger.

why no dark mode?
