I recently got a free dell d600 laptop. The laptop is fine but it has
the notorious "The AC power adapter type cannot be determined"
problem.

I borrow a new ac adapter and the problem is solved.

I found out from a website that the dell ac adapter has some design
flaws.

I don't want to keep buying AC adpter because of a bad id chips.
Is there any way to modify it other than using shield cable or moving
the power supply id chip to laptop?
