For what it’s worth, Our laptops use the 90w, the Dell netbooks
have a 65w here.

One other thing,...the laptop complains right at the beginning
that it has a 65W power Supply, Hit F3 to stop seeing this message
or F1 to continue.
A couple google searches say that I need a 90W power brick,
but,....it's always used a 65W and they are both DELL Originals.
Some pages say it will not charge with a Non -Dell 65W. But mine
are Dell and they came with 65W, so,....go figure.

Thanks for suggestions.

Hey Scott! I have seen battery and charging circuit get out of sync.
Shutdown the laptop, unplug the laptop, remove the battery. Plug in
laptop, turn on laptop finally replace battery. Charging may resume.
Sometimes just pulling and replacing the battery with a fully booted
system also does it or some magic combination.
Good Fortunes Scott

I have had a couple of our Dell laptops do this. If the adapter and
battery
don’t take care of it, then the next step is a new mainboard on ours.

Principal brought me his school laptop full of spyware.
I cleaned it, and the machine would go into a endless reboot. I wiped
it
clear and reinstalled XP.
It all worked until the battery died. Put in a new battery, now it's
slowly
discharging but working!
I suspected the Power adapter, hooked up a new one, both showed a green
light. But it appears the battery is not charging.
What have I missed here?
