    As a headsup, the Kensington 120 Watt Notebook AC/DC Power Adapter. It produces an error message on my Dell Latititude D820 stating that the processor will be run at reduced speed and the battery won't charge. The battery charge light will not, in fact, come on with this power supply. I'm using the Kensington recommended N19 tip. The voltage is right, 19.5, but the laptop demands a Dell 90 watt adapter to be happy. Oddly, it is happy with my Inspiron I8200 that would not work with a similar iGo power supply. Is there something in the power supply to identitfy it to the laptop?
