Error Message from Power Adapter


Recently I started to receive an error message from a Dell DA65NS3-00 Auto-Air AC Adapter on my Dell Latitude E4300 notebook PC.

That is something new to me! But I guess it does make sense for these components to become smarter. The thing is, this one seems to have been caused by a rather simple hardware problem: The adapter comes with an extension cord on the DC side. The error only occurs when I use that extension cord, the error message pops up and the laptop lose the capability to charge the battery. Without that extension cord, everything works fine.
