    I have a Dell Inspirion 8500 without the docking bay. If I plug it in I can boot up and everything is fine. If I attempt to use just battery power I get "The computer is docked and only battery power is detected. Undock, redock, attach power adapter, or plug in power cord. Press F1 to shut down." Any suggestions on this? Thanks.
