| wolfy, you are so darn logical!!!  LOL  To charge the battery. Which reminds me how sad for my son, his really cool computer won't keep a charge so he is stuck, too.  
 Yes, a power plug, the cord that would charge the battery, give direct current.  I can not even turn it on right now to see what comes up.
 
 It's a Dell, and, when I searched with the serial # on thier site, it says she bought it about a year ago.  So, parts shouldn't be impossible to find but I am hoping not to have to pay full price as my whole deal is a lap top isn't in my budget.
