    When I try to use the 100W Universal Power Adapter by Targus, I get an error message from Dell QuickSet saying I need to use a genuine Dell charger and that the current charger will not charge my batteries, but only power the notebook.

    Is there any workaround to this? This is very frustrating.

    Why wont the Targus charger work? It fits my needs so much more (charge more than one device simultaneously)

    Has anyone used a Targus charger with their Latitude? If so, what tip did you use?
