I have a Dell Inspiron 9100..The charger broke and the battery ran out.. I now have a new charger but the laptop only works while laptop is plugged in. I get a error message on boot up saying 'charging from a 90w adapter' and something about not for optimal charging..... any ideas anyone??

Sounds like the battery is dead and you need a new one
OR more likely
you are using the wrong adapter for your machine.
Did you get the new one from Dell?
If not you should check this urgently as you can kill your laptop using the wrong one.

I had exactly the same with Dell Inspiron 6000, the wire on the charger broke. My computer was only a few months old and Dell collected it and i presume put a new battery in. They also gave me a new charger. The best advice i can give you is to contact Dell.

Needs to be the proper charger with the right wattage rate. Either visit Dell's website for info, or possibly your old charger will have the rate on a label somewhere. You need to match that.

Normally it is accurate but you can always check the battery charge in the BIOS. Enter the bios by hitting F2.
But , this may not be a battery charge issue. If the battery is fully charged but the computer can't receive that charge, it could shut down.
You can also run the diagnostics on your system by holding the >Fn< key while turning the system on. This throws it into a "Pre-boot System Analysis" test. See what it does there.
