    Just checking here to see if anyone uses a Dell APR... particularly I purchased the D/port but I've read it can be used w/ 600m and 8600. I have a D series Latitude. Anyway, I bought a PA-10 power adapter for it but when I try to boot up docked it says "power adapter type can not be determined" and makes me shut down. Anyone know anything about this?

    Well, I got it off of eBay... and had to buy the power supply separate and got it off of eBay from someone else. It's the same part number and specs are all the same so I have no idea why it's not working. Someone on Dell boards said they had same problem and ordered a new adapter straight from Dell and it worked (again, same part number, everything). Ugh.
