    So I needed to buy a new battery for my m1710 xps. I bought one cheap off ebay, the vendor said it was compatible witht he system. I place the battery in and boot the system up and get this error Battery Attached Cannot Power the System, Push f1 to reboot. So I'm like that sucks. Though I look and the battery is charging just fine in the system and boots off the battery fine too until i get the error of course. I also boot up the system without the battery cause i can't boot it up with the battery in, place the battery in and its charging just fine in windows xp. In fact the system works just fine with the battery in. So how the heck do you bypass the dumb error that keeps coming up not allowing me to boot up with the battery in? Thks in advance

    Go into the BIOS. They have a setting in there about battery errors or something, I think.

    Though...just make sure you're OK with that.
