Hello,
I received Alienware M18X laptop ac adapter(GA240PE1-00) today and when I plugged it in my computer (alienware m18x R1) had the following error:
I received Alienware M18X laptop ac adapter(GA240PE1-00) today and when I plugged it in my computer (alienware m18x R1) had the following error:
"The AC adapter currently connected is not supported. System will continue on battery. "
On rebooting the computer, it came up with the following message
"The AC power adapter wattage cannot be determined.
The battery may not charge.
The system will adjust the performance to match power available.
The battery may not charge.
The system will adjust the performance to match power available.
Please connect a Dell 180w AC adapter or greater for best sytem performance "
Despite altering the windows power settings the computer still runs below speed. From my research this is due to the power adapter settings being hard coded and are unable to be altered.

Well I have updated the BIOS and that will fix the problem but only temporarily... when the problem returns, reflash the BIOS and it is fixed again.... Function F2 makes no difference. The other tricks that have worked for other people, did not work for me...
But I have found another temporary solution... better than reflashing the BIOS every time it happens... I reach under the notebook, slightly remove the battery (while plugged in) and push it right back in... the battery will instantly start charging again.
2. 14.4V and 14.8V are compatible, they are in common use.
3. The 10.8V(=11.1V) and 14.4V(=14.8V) are the different voltages, they are not compatible,
please choose the right battery(Voltage) for your laptop.

Thank you so much for that last post! This solved my problem for me. I was very worried, because I had managed to unplug my computer without realizing it and it wasn't until I was at 3% battery that I realized the problem. Naturally, I had a huge essay due and a raid on WoW to attend and all sorts of computer-related commitments that couldn't be met if I was out of battery power. But finally my battery is charging again. I really should have thought to just take it out and put it back in!
ReplyDeleteHello! thank you for your post! Could you tell me, please I need to replace new cord to my adaptor. This model http://hardware.be/power-supply/dell/450-18650.html, is it possible to do by myself or it is better to ask a help of specialist!
