Hello, I receive a message telling me that my AC power adapter type cannot be accepted.

• No way to prevent "the AC power adapter type cannot be determined" message on XPS M1710? (AC adapter is properly plugged)

  Often, I get the following message between the screens "Dell" and "Windows", when that I start my XPS M1710 when plugged:

  Unable to determine the type of AC power adapter.  The system can start only with a 130 W power adapter or more.  Hit the F1 key to shutdown.  To resolve this problem, try to reconnect the AC adapter.

  This message occurs when the AC adapter is inserted correctly and completely, and that's the Dell adapter supplied with my notebook.  Is there anything I can do (possibly a registry hack) to force the computer to start instead of this message?  Once it gives me this message and I have to press F1 to close it, it takes an extremely long time to go to the "Dell" screen on the chest which follows (1 minute or two).  My battery hold so little cost when that happens, I turn on the laptop when it is plugged in, unplug it when the "Dell" on-screen progress bar finishes, then plug it back when the 'Windows' screen is displayed.

  It is an old laptop and I will soon receive a new, so I won't spend the money to buy a new AC adapter and the battery for XPS M1710, but I'd like to solve this problem, if it can be done otherwise.

  Thank you!

  I used to have this problem until it has just stopped working. Fact of the matter is Dell power supplies are designed for out of normal use. The cable for the tiny pin in the middle is broken inside the brick and was not fixed easily (you'd have to bust open the brick). Horrible design and this officially marks the last machine from Dell, I will never buy. With a registry hack that prevents the audit (ensuring the adapter you are using is Dell to make them more money), adapter is perfectly capable. I have an adapter 130W (XPS L1502X) and because of this my brother (Studio... not sure of the model). Mine came with the laptop at the time of purchase and the power adapter may not be recognized by me or my brothers laptop computer. Now my computer recognizes the cable my brother, but here's the catch: its cable is less common that mine and this can cause serious damage to my machine. When Dell said that it is a "security feature", it is so full of Bull. If that were the case, it would not allow that my brothers cable to go into my machine. Nice one Dell, you have lost a customer and I will make sure that everyone that I go looking for a new laptop does not buy your trash.

  I'm currently waiting on a replacement power brick that I ordered on ebay, so I can charge my laptop once again. Dell will charge you $ 70-80 to do this on eBay it's around $ 30-40 - all avoiding the retail margin.

  I do not throw accusations at Dell for the design of the brick to fail, I'm going off the coast of many positions of electrical engineers who have experienced the same frustrations and have taken it upon themselves to expose this type of scam.

• SP 2 settles - gives a message telling me that the bios updated to the needs

  Original title : Sp 2 downloads ok, but used to install

  I have a dell latitude d820 32bits that originally had xp on it,

  I installed vista on it from a backup I did on an advent computer (purchased new mine).

  I managed to install ie9 on it, but it tells me that I need to install sp2,

  I tried to install after the download from windows update and microsoft own website, but always the same problem, I can't get sp2 to install even if ok, it will download

• I lost my phone 2 weeks ago. Now, I received a message telling me to connect to find my iphone but the link is very weird

  I lost my phone 2 weeks ago. Now, I received a message telling me to connect to find my iphone, but the link is very weird.

  I entered my information it because I wanted to see where was my phone, but nothing has arrived. After that I connected to my laptop and I could go on my account, but it seems that my Iphone (that got stolen) are there any more and I can't locate. What do you think? would it be the thievs who send me this message on my news?

  

  This is because it is a phishing attempt to make you try to open a session, so that they get the powers they need to disable find my iPhone on your device. Do NOT click on anything and ignore it.

  Sorry, I see that you were already there and gave them the information. Your device, as well as your iCloud account have been compromised. You need to change your password immediately. Your device is finished now, you will never recover.

  These messages are never true. Microsoft does not have lotteries, and
  Microsoft does not send e-mails.

  It is a complete scam. Do not respond to it.
