    Problems with the charging circuits inside a laptop are relatively rare, especially for a laptop that is only about 18 months old, unless some external event happened – e.g.
    – someone dropped the laptop, or otherwise exposed it to a physical jolt
    – someone spilled liquid on the laptop, or exposed it to liquid such as rain, or sprayed it with liquid
    (it may not have been you that did those things – anyone who has had physical access to the laptop could have done one of those things, and have not told you.)
    – there was a power failure event that produced power spikes or surges, or there was a lightning storm in your area, while the AC adapter was plugged into the laptop.

    It’s much more likely you have a problem with the AC adapter’s cord or plug that plugs into the laptop’s jack, or with the laptop’s jack..

    If there is nothing wrong with your AC adapter or it’s connection and the jack in the laptop…….

    It’s not likely an ~18 month old battery would have this problem – an internally shorted battery – but it’s possible….

    Laptop main batteries usually work as they should for a year or so, then they begin to rapidly deteriorate. From what I’ve seen, by two years they cannot be charged to anywhere near their full capacity, and it gets worse after that.
    They often develop internal shorts when they are older. If the battery gets HOT rather than just warm after you have attempted to charge it for at least a half hour, or after you have been using the laptop for a while with the AC adapter plugged in, it’s definitely internally shorted and you must replace it. Internally shorted batteries getting too hot have been known to cause the laptop to catch on fire.
    ….

    The charging circuits inside the laptop may be on a small separate circuit board, often one the power jack is directly attached to
    Samsung may have a free Service or Maintenance manual you can download to find out how to take apart the laptop series properly, or if not, you can usually find one on the web for free or for a small fee.

    Tips about battery charging problems on Dell laptops – may apply to other makes.

    Buy a Canon printer, mate. I used to have an Epson. Nothing but trouble and nozzles blocked up unless you printed at least one full colour image with it every day. Wasted more ink unblocking the nozzles than actually printing with the damn thing.

    I bought a Canon PIXMA model five years ago & have never had reason to regret it.

  5. Try changing the suffix from .tmp to .jpg. If there are lots to do then you can change them all in bulk by using a simple command line from the command prompt - post back if you need info on this."I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..." Pink Floyd

    The C:\Junk folder would have to exist beforehand.
    You wouldn’t need to make the screen output pause.

    CDBurnerXP (already given) is easy and good. Note that it is not just for XP – I use it on my Windows 8.1 64 bit.

    Check out the reset given in the second link at #2, then the screen as per #3. If it is still the same then responses #1 and #2 (first link) suggest possible items that might need replacing. However, without examining the Inspiron it is difficult to be absolutely certain so it could be expensive just buying things in order to find out. This would need to be weighed against invoking the professional who can look at the unit and should be able to give more concrete guidance.

    Most things can be repaired but it all boils down to cost.
