Which laptop is this? I have an old ailing one with the two pins charger, so
maybe I can get the polarity from the charger via a meter and a person with
sight.
The later Dels seem to have the old centre hol outer sheeth chargers.

I have a Dell notebook and am trying to get a multi settings charger to
power it up.

The connections with the charger reverse to allow for different polarities
but the signs on the back of the box differ. The Dell is marked with a
broken line under a continuous line while the charger is either negative on
the outer setting or inner setting and I have to reverse two pins according
to which I need.

If anyone knows what I am talking about, I would appreciate a good telling.

What I really need is a new battery. As they were originally made in 2003 I
can't see how replacement batteries can be described as new. But that is
what they are being advertklised as. How come?
