May be I did not make clear or I don't think I have to continue how competent I am on computers and laptops and building everything from ground up my self. Now this Inspiron 1300 will NOT turn on and I repeat it again WILL NOT turn on if it is less than 15.7 VDC and the adaptor less than 1600 mA. As I said on a previous post I run it from my 18 VDC Ryobi power tool battery and it runs fine!!!!!
Now for further info This Dell 's battery died in 6 months from new and the program that deals with the power requirement was sending a message every day that my battery needs to be replaced. and suddenly refused to charge. And that is all there is to it.
