AC Adaptor Error
Hi,
I have got an intermittent, problem with the AC Adaptor on my Inspiron 6000 involving the indentification of it. Occationally, I get an error from quickset saying that the system will peform slower, and the battery wont charge, (the CPU clocks to 333Mhz cerca 1999!!) but when I turn off the swich, at the mains, and turn the power back on, every returns to normal! I will try it with a friends AC apator, but can anyone confirm if the problem is the supply. I heard about some chip that causes this going faulty, but where is it located and is it replacible (still under warranty)
Thank in advance
Ewan

Replace the adaptor with a different one and see if the problem goes away. If so, the previous adaptor was faulty. If not, try a different battery. If that solves it, the previous battery may have been defective. If neither improves the situation, there is something wrong with the laptop itself.
