I just received a Dell Inspiron 3593 from a friend who packed it tightly for a long time. After wiping it, the red light next to the port flashes amber with a white dot. It says it can't read wattage when plugged in, and the battery isn’t charging. The disk shows 100% with occasional CPU spikes. What should I do to fix this?

The poor battery condition or an unofficial replacement is likely leading to significant slowdowns in Windows performance. It seems the laptop struggles under heavy startup demands, possibly due to too many background processes using CPU resources. Switching to Linux might simplify things, though I won’t suggest a particular version as it could cause discussion.
