Hey everyone,

I recently replaced the power jack cable on my Dell 11z 1121. I got the cable off ebay for 6-7 dollars.

Now my battery wont charge and the laptop battery indicator LED keeps alternating between orange and white.

Is there any way to bypass this dell feature which prevents you from using unauthorized parts.

I am using an original charger with the laptop, just that I think the DC jack does not have the metal contact for the charger pin which tells it to charge the battery.

Thanks

This is what I got from the Dell website. Any clue on how to fix or by-pass this issue? I am sure my adapter is working fine because I've tested it with another dell model...
