    I appreciate the offer on the docking station....... I don't really see what I would need one for, so thanks for the offer and I am just going to pass this on to my niece so, I'll decline for now.
    The wrong power supply error is what happens when the wrong wattage supply is used. Chances are the one you have is 65 watts or less. If possible, try a 90 watt and it should solve your problem.

    According to Dell it is a feature of the BIOS. It senses the power supply and gives the error before booting. They said the new BIOS update will fix that but I can't get it to update the BIOS while connected to a PS it doesn't like... :(
