Dell Inspiron Adapter

    Hey...

    I have come accross a problem with the adapter for my laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, and each time I plug in the power supply, a message comes up saying:

    "the AC Power Adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 65W AC Adapter or higher for best system operation"

    So what's this all about. Is it a problem with the connection within the laptop of is it the adapter itself?

    Any help appreciated on this one, cheers. ;)

    Boot into safe mode by pressing F8 after the Dell Bios logo disappears just before windows actually starts loading. Select "Safe Mode" from the list by using up/down arrows.
    Once logged into safe mode trying connecting the adapter and see does the same warning appear.
    I would hazard a guess that it may be indeed be a faulty power supply unit. If you know someone with the same charger,try theres and see what happens....
