Dell :: Studio 1537 Power Lead Length

Apr 14, 2009

One thing that I have noticed is that the power lead is not very long and I can just about sit on the sofa with it plugged in. The power lead, plug to the transformer is only 1 metre long, which seems very short. The length of the lead from the tranformer to the laptop looks about normal length.

if Dell do a longer plug to transformer lead....... if so how much and where can I get one?

Dell :: Power Cord Compatibility

Feb 20, 2009

I have an XPS 1330 and my wife has an older Inspiron 6000. The power cord on her Inspiron 6000 went bad. My adapter has an octagonal shape on it so it won't work with her notebook. However, my slim 3 in one travel charger does fit her notebook so we've been using that

Dell :: Power Cord/jack/battery Voltage: 600m

Jun 15, 2009

First post here...
Here's the deal, my 600m won't charge the battery anymore and will not run off of the power cord.

The power cord is showing 19.5v which is correct.

The back of the power adapter jack on the mobo is showing about 3.5v when plugged in and the two outside pins that charge the battery are only showing about 0.02v. Is this normal voltage or do you think the mobo broken?

I'm not really sure which of the battery charging pins to check the voltage from and can't find a diagram of it anywhere.

Dell :: Latitude D600 Will Not Boot Up Unless The Power Cord Plugged In

Sep 22, 2009

My D600 will not boot up unless the power cord is plugged in. Is there some switch that I hit by mistake? Can this be corrected?

I guess basically it doesn't work on the battery unless it is plugged in but the power shows 100 % for the battery

Dell Latitude E5520 :: Shuts Off When Disconnecting Power Cord

Feb 19, 2013

I have a Latitude E5520 that is having some strange issues.  If I have i plugged in to a power cord, close the lid and disconnect the power cord, the unit shuts off.  Sometimes when undocking, the unit will shut off as well.

I have checked the power settings and confirmed that when the lid is closed, no action should be taken.

The battery is fully charged and the laptop runs fine on the battery.

This has the latest BIOS revision A09.....

Apple :: Power Cord Seems To Randomly Fail

May 10, 2009

I keep my computer plugged in when I'm at home, but my power cord keeps "shutting itself off" and stops charging. So sometimes I check my battery power and there's like 24% left. My battery seems to be holding a charge for now, but my power cord seems to randomly fail. Never in my life have I ever heard of power cords failing-I'm sure it happens but this is ridiculous.

Dell :: Power Cord Light Turns Off When Plugged Into Laptop Short Circuit?

May 29, 2010

So last night my laptop was running fine on battery power, but then it was running low, so I plugged in the power cord. Nothing happened. Since the adapter at the laptop end was falling apart and duct-taped anyways, I figured it was just conking out, but then I saw the indicator light on the power brick was off.

With some experimentation, I found that if I moved it to a different outlet, the light would come back on, but if I plugged it into my laptop, the light would die, and I would have to again move it to a different outlet (the same one as first would work fine) to get the indicator light back on. It works in other Dell laptops. Other adapters do the exact same thing.

So I'm guessing there's a problem with my laptop wiring that's causing a short or something. (Apologies for my shallow electrical knowledge.) But it was working last night on battery power. Until the battery died completely this morning, it would power up. So it's not an electrical problem that kills the laptop.

Dell Latitude E7440 :: When Plug In Power Cord Into Computer / Screen Freezes On

Apr 17, 2014

I've had my laptop for a little bit under 2 months, so these are the things I have noticed. 

Issue number 1: When you plug in the power cord into the computer, the screen freezes on what it is currently on. I noticed this issue because occasionally when I plug in my power cord, and try to use the mousepad to select something, the mouse pointer is gone! I have to unplug-replug the power cable to get the mouse pointer to show again. It seems to have to do with the screen

Issue number 2: when I carry my E7440 around in my bad, or have it shut for long periods of time >3 hours (I just simply close the lid), the computer will SHUT DOWN. The thing will shut down completly, even though I simply closed the lid! At first I thought it was just going into hibernate, so I disabled hibernate in my power settings. But nope, even when the computer is asleep, it will occasionally shut it self down for no reason at all.

Just now, I closed the lid on my laptop, and put in in my bag, then walked to my office about 10 minutes away. When I sat down at my desk and opened my laptop, to my surprise, it had shut down by itself! All of my open windows, browsers, and applications were closed, and upon opening chrome and microsoft word, I was greeted by "your browser did not shut down correctly" and "microsoft word has recovered files". This points to the conclusion that it was not hibernates fault, but instead a issue with the laptop itself shutting down when it is put in sleep. This issue needs to be rectified immediately if it is a widespread issue.  

Issue number three: When the computer comes back from hibernate or sleep, the computer is very very sluggish, even when plugged in. It is sluggish forever, OR until the power plan is set from whatever it is to "high performance". upon switching to the previous powerplan from high performance, the swiftness of the system is restored. This indicates to me that the system is throttling itself after it resumes from hibernation, why. This needs to be fixed; many people (myself included) just thought that the system itself was slow and underpowered, not realizing that it was just throttling itself when it emerged from sleep or hibernate.

Acer :: Travelmate 4010 Power Cord/jack Not Working

Aug 9, 2008

Travelmate 4010. I've had it for about 3 years now, and over the past *thinks* 6 months or so the power cord had been replaced twice because it broke. But it wasn't really the cord itself that broke the first time. Something inside the jack is broken and now the cord (a new one) has to be positioned just the right way so it doesn't switch to battery mode. I use it mostly on my bed, which probably doesn't help, but at one point I had to have it on a desk with the cord taped to the lid so it wouldn't move and kill the battery (which doesn't last that long). I couldn't even close the lid so I just had the monitor shut off after a minute. but I did get a new cord and started using it on my bed, storing it underneath when I'm not using it. After a while, though, the cord started to do the same thing and now I'm sitting here trying not to move on the bed too much so it doesn't disconnect. I'd like to get a new notebook, but I can't afford it.

Dell :: Length Of Time For A Tech Visit?

Jan 15, 2009

I am scheduling an appointment to get the motherboard and trackpad of my XPS M1530 replaced.

I am having them do it at my work and my boss says its ok as long as they don't take to long. Who has had them do this before and how long did it take? I have heard times as low as 20 mins or as high as two hours.

I really hoping that it will only take like a half hour since I feel awkward doing this at work but i need it done.

Acer :: Aspire One Length Of Operation On Battery

Jan 20, 2009

It has the 8GB SSD drive, 3 cell battery, 1GB of RAM, runs Windows XP, and has the standard 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. I was going to purchase a full fledged notebook but I would rather spend $200 on a netbook now and then purchase a $1000+ desktop. I had a 17" notebook but it would only get about 1.4 hours on a single charge (and that was with the brightness turned all the way down). That notebook died and I am currently using a tablet PC but it can only get about 2 hours of operation on a single charge.

So how long does the 3 cell Aspire One last on a single charge? I know that factors such as screen brightness and wi-fi drastically affect battery performance. I mainly want to surf the internet via wi-fi (on my campus) and the screen brightness will be adjusted down to 50% or lower. I would be perfectly content with 3 hours or more. I read on some websites that the 6 cell versions can go for 6 hours or more. One reviewer said that his unit was able to go for 9 hours but I think their screen brightness was turned all the way down and wi-fi was turned off.

Apple :: Imac Display - Lines Of Varying Length

Jun 12, 2009

I was given a old imac. It's white, has 2.16 Ghz processor, 3GB RAM and the latest version of OSX.

I am a having two problems with it.

1. Seemingly at random, lines of varying length, one or a couple of pixels tall, appear on the display. Within each line the pixel by color appears to be random.

2. Sometimes I will click on a website or launch something and I get the multicolored wheel. The machine freezes and the wheel keeps going round and round and round. This seems to happen most frequently when making a video full screen. I wind up turning the machine off and restarting it.

Any ideas as to what's wrong? Video card? Video card memory?

Dell :: M1530 Will Not Power On

Dec 23, 2008

I've just received my Dell m1530 about a half hour ago. I plugged in the power supply (which has a solid green light) and turned on the laptop. The only thing that happens is I can hear the fan turn on.. no display, nothing illuminates, the only lights on are the blinking wi-fi symbol.

This is my first time dealing with Dell and so far it's been a nightmare.. did I get a lemon out of the box, or is it something small I'm overlooking? I'm dreading the idea of having to call tech support after dealing with their customer service.

Dell :: M1530 After Power Ran Out

Mar 8, 2010

Forgive me if this is a easily solved problem, but I am not at all tech savvy. I have owned the 1530 for a little over a year now and I've run into a problem with my system.

While using my computer the power ran out and when I turned it on I found that it wouldn't fully start.

It would pass the Dell screen and would reach the Window Error Recovery screen. Regardless of what option I choose it goes to the green bar and it just moves indefinitely.

Dell XPS M1530 :: WiFi Connectivity Lost When Connected To Power

Jan 27, 2013

I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop and suddenly it started showing a pecular behavior. Wifi works properly when the laptop runs on battery. The moment I connect the adapter and power the mains on, it looses the connectivity and it newer shows any wifi connections available. If I remove the power adapter from the laptop, wifi starts working again.

I verified by connecting another power adapter and saw the same problem. Condition is same with another wifi connection also.

Dell Latitude D800 :: Will Not Power On / No BIOS Information Displayed / No Power On Self Test

I have a Dell Latitude D800 that will not power on. When the power button is pushed the green power indicator light comes on, the CDROM spins for a moment, but then nothing happens, there is no BIOS information displayed, no power on self test, no Dell logo. It just sits there with the green power light on.I have tried removing the power & battery then pressing the power button for 10 seconds (actually, I have tried as long as 60 seconds). I have tried to turn on with the power connected but not the battery. I have tried removing the connector cable for the power button and the connector cable for the display and then reseating them.
