Mixer prototype v.0.1

@Vaibhav: Thank you for your overwhelmingly long comment. I realize that you work for Dell (your IP address points to Dell) and that you are willing to vouch for your own company.
Everything I said is an opinion, because personally I think that a $100 adapter is very expensive. I applaud the fact that Dell, along with virtually all other major computer companies, offer free technical support.
As concerning my privacy concerns as you mentioned, that was what I assumed at first, but I soon realized that it did not give me any help with shipping, and is merely for the convenience of the company. I was not offered an automatic one-click shipment to my home, I was told to visit Dell's website and search for the adapter and buy it, as all other customers would.
Furthermore, I realize that the rep was honest; he never lied, nor was he much help either. The fact that he or she cannot bring up system details was annoying, although it was expected after five years.
So thank you again, and I enjoyed the flaming comment from a Dell employee.

WOW!!! I'm soooo freak'n jealous... the video look so awesome!!!

I'm with Steve! I want SBM Reloaded with 2.5.1 to work. Any fixes yet to reenable the Dashboard?

@cbear2021 (1): Yeah, if your laptop is Dell, than you'll need to buy a new power adapter, because Dell has a long-lasting line of quick-to-break power adapters.
Before you do that, make sure none of the cables are frayed and the ID pin in the very top is nice and straight and not bent or not there. If that's all there, and it still doesn't work, you'll need a new power adapter.
You can buy a refurbished power adapter from Dell's site for cheaper than the current price, and if it doesn't work you can get a new one. If you really want to save money, you can buy a generic one from Buy.com or somewhere with cheaper ones.
I don't understand you when you said Windows screwing up... do you have multiple operating systems on your laptop? If you meant once you ignored the statement and got into Windows, it worked, then sorry to say but you probably still need a new power adapter.
If it's a desktop computer and not a laptop, then I have no idea what went wrong. Try changing a power supply from a shop nearby that lets you return within 15 or 30 days without a refurbishing fee. That way, if it still gives you the message, you can just return it.
Hope this helps, but I can't guarantee anything here, so try to get with technical support via chat or something (usually bigger companies offer it for free).

Lucky you! I wish I had a dad like that...

Aha, why you not telling me earlier about this?
Boot into your BIOS setup screen, and give your integrated graphics chip a 300+MB memory, and you are set to go!

i ko this is really random brad, but hi!

Thanks for your response Brad! I just posted a comment over on the blog of the Disable WP Widgets creator for more info/input.

Hey, where gone my comments?

I've posted a review on my Refurbished Adapter and it's up and readable here: http://chaotictech.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/review-dell-refurbished-adapter/

@Dell-Bill B (3): I have posted an update to the post stating that I will be writing a new post on the details of the refurbished power adapter that is supposed to come in a few days.

This gives me a ray of hope. I love Sidebar Modules, and am so depressed that I may be forced to swallow the Wordpress Widgets after upgrading to version 2.5.1
Your fix is for the K2 theme, but I'm guessing it could also work for the Sidebar Modules plugin from Nybble Labs which I'm currently using on other themes: http://nybblelabs.org.uk/projects/sidebar-modules/
I also used the Disable WP Widgets plugin to kill widgets from WP 2.2+: http://schulte.mn/2007/05/04/disable-wordpress-widgets/
But neither of these work in WP 2.5+ anymore. I noticed your code above contains the same line as the Disable WP Widgets plugin:
remove_action('plugins_loaded', 'wp_maybe_load_widgets', 0 )
Any ideas on how to adapt this fix to work with Nybble Labs Sidebar Modules? I'm guessing I would need to replace 'k2sidebarmanager' with something else. But I'm not sure what.

@Doug: Thank you very much. We ended up buying a refurbished adapter so that the computer can still work. If that doesn't work, your refurbished return policy states that you can only return it if it is broken. If it's not the power adapter that's faulty here... well, I suppose I'm running a risk.
I am looking to get a new computer, but after a few customizations, I ended up at around one thousand bucks, also out of my price range.
But thank you for your help, Doug.
