Default Charging a laptop battery without the laptop?

Thanks for all replies. The laptop is a Dell XPS M1210.


That laptop has a 3-wire connector. Some folks may have had a 2-wire
connector installed or there may be some other connection problem.

As mentioned on this page, an error message will be seen regarding an
Unknown adapter type if the data center pin is not making a good connection.

With what you have, and a meter - I'd start making continuity tests.
