3rd Party AC Adapter Won’t Charge Dell Inspiron 1501 Battery

by fuzz1303 . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

My original Dell ac charger died several weeks ago on me. I purchased a ridiculously overpriced universal charger at walmart but then found a much cheaper specific charger on ebay from a 3rd party company. When using the universal charger, my battery would charge, though with the new charger it will not. When plugged in the laptop runs but begins with an error stating it doesn’t recognize the charger. After telling it to proceed it boots and runs just fine, but will not charge the battery ever. My question is, can I configure something to let my laptop identify the charger and accept a charge to the battery? If so how? Thank you in Advance.
