Dell: AC Power Adapter Type Cannot Be Determined

Well, My New XPS 13 started to act strange, It wont charge when I plug in the power adapter and would display "

AC Power Adapter Type Cannot Be Determined"


After struggling for hours, found the issue.

If you look at the power cable that plugs into your laptop, you should see a small pin (male pin) inside. This pin was broke in my case, and hence my battery wont charge and Dell displays a strange message.

I bought a cheap replacement power cable from ebay ( $10-$15) and problem is gone.
