Help with a Dell Insp. 1200

I had a friend give me an inspiron 1200 notebook that seemed to have a virus because it took forever to boot. I told him I could do a clean install of XP on it and it should fix it. I turned it on just long enough to put the disc in and restarted. Everything went fine until I started doing the updates. I noticed the battery indicator on the tool bar while I had the charger plugged in. The battery now is just about dead. Can someone tell me if I missed something or did this notebook just die on me? I hooked a meter to the plug and its putting out 19 volts. All help would be appreciated.
 
does the physical indicator for charging turn on? if not my guess is that it is a broken or loose power connecter on the laptop. try moving the connector around.
