AC Adapter error for my VOSTRO 1000
The battery on my Vostro 1000 laptop is not being charged.
I went ahead and ran the Diagnostic Test after pressing F12 when the laptop rebooted and got the following error;
Error Code 3600:0749
Msg:AC_ADAPTER - Invalid AC Adapter Detected
What does this mean? Can this be rectified and how?
I need some answer quickly because I use this laptop heavily to edit lots of audio and recordings too, and I'm on the road a lot.
Thanks.

First thing to try is a new Dell adapter - if it doesn't fix the problem, the mainboard needs repair or replacement.

Non-Dell adapters usually don't charge the battery. If the system is overheating, clean the dust from the heatsink and verify that the fan is operating properly (F12 at powerup - Dell diagnostics).

What if it is not a dell adapter, but the spec is the same. the fan runs, but the laptop seems to overheat if placed on a table for 30 mins or more and then it shuts off.
