Hello, hope someone can help... I've searched around the other threads but didn't find an answer.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 that no longer recognizes my AC power adapter. This kicks my system into a super slow mo mode that I finally resolved, but it still reverts back to the above mentioned slow mode every once in awhile. The replacement warranty battery they sent me no longer holds a charge after a year, so I need to replace that as well.
My question is this, will my laptop support/recognize the 90w AC adapter instead of the 65w? Will it cause any problems?
Odds are, its the AC connector on the mobo that is broken...which is extremely common on lappys. When you plug in the AC power, does the connector jiggle/move any?

...it does wiggle a bit... is that something that i can swap out as well? And should that be my first "fix" before I bother replacing the cord and adapter?
Your laptop should be ok to recongize both but 90W ac adapter can provide your laptop more power than 65W. As for the sony battery, if they are for the same laptop, the only difference is the capacity then. (maybe the size of the 7200mAh one will be bigger and stick out from the back of the laptop)
