XPS Gen 2 - Error Message: AC Power Adapter Type Cannot Be Determined

Have been experiencing the following error message when booting up: "AC Power Adapter Type Cannot Be Determined. The system can only boot with a 130 W power adapter."
 
Power adapter is a 130W. Light on power adapter is always on when plugged into an outlet.
 
Unplugging and replugging after letting the power drain from the power adapter and then trying to boot up is currently not working. Have tried different outlets either at home or office, but this does make a difference.
 
Have to boot on battery power before plugging in power adapter, but this is a problem when there is no longer any battery power. Once booted up using battery power, can plug power adapter to work on the laptop, but it does not recharge the battery.
 
Often for no reason, it'll work so I can boot up using the power adapter and it'll recharge the battery.
 
Thanks for any help.
