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.

  • Best way to prevent the collection of updated?

    I have a problem/question about the dataGrid control, see code attatched.

    When I click on a line in the lower grid I want to copy the information in the upper grid. I don't want the collection of grids below to be updated when I edit the cells in the upper grid.

    If I use the code attatched and edit a cell, the collection in the grid below to update when I scroll up and down lines (in the lower rack).

    The only way I can stop this update is to set the dataProvider "[{colA: dataGrid1.selectedItem.colA, colB: dataGrid1.selectedItem.colB, teachers: dataGrid1.selectedItem.colC}]" instead of "dataGrid1.selectedItem".

    Is this a bug or what I am doing wrong? It should be a better way to prevent the updated collection. I tried different events at the same time check if/when the collection is updated but no success here. I can't get the function 'preventDefault()' to work.

    Any solution/suggestion?

    Kind regards

    the Sweden newbe...

    You need two independent dataProviders, one for each grid. then you need to do a * copy * of the row of data before put you in the second dataProvider. This is because that just assign the object (selectedItem) will be just a reference to the same object.

    You could use ObjectUtils.copyObject (), or simply create a new Object() and assign the properties and the values for the new object, and then to the second dataProvider addItem().

  • iPhone not charging when connected to the USB power adapter

    Hello. I have a 5 s iPhone that I bought used a few months ago. It works very well.

    Normally I charge it by connecting it to my Mac via a USB cable. Last night, I tried to recharge by connecting Apple USB power (also called a power outlet) adapter, which plugs into the wall, supplied with the phone. (Here's a link to the adapter if you are not sure what I'm talking about:.) When I connect the iPhone to the power adapter, I saw that the phone is charging - there was the small icon representing a lightning bolt near the battery of the iPhone.

    However, when I woke up in the morning, the iPhone has been charged only 47%. I don't remember what the percentage was when I plugged into the power supply last night, but I don't think that the phone at that time was much less.

    So I wonder: nobody knows what went wrong? Is there a way to make sure that the phone is loaded with the adapter?

    Thank you!

    M

    If there is a symbol of bolt of lightning next to the battery icon, then the phone should be in charge.  If it is charging a single source, but not another, then the problem is with the unpaid source.  Try another adapter to confirm.

  • Food - «the AC power adapter type cannot be determined...» »

    For the past two weeks, whenever I start my Dell INSPIRON E1705 while using the power I am greeted with the following message. "Unable to determine the type of AC power adapter. Your system will run more slowly and the battery won't charge. "Please connect a Dell 90W Adapter or higher for a better functioning of the system. I press the F1 key and everything works fine. I read about this on other sites and most say that it is a design flaw in the diet after been properly cord around the power as expected. Apparently some of the strands of internal wire cords becomes broken and cause this message. My computer is from June 2006 and should not have this problem so soon... or ever. This seems to be a flaw that should create some sort of reminder of manufacturers, since so many people have this problem. I am of course out of warranty, will Dell replace this for free?

    `

    You're right, the failure is due toloss of the power supply signal identification. Sometimes this happens because of the pressure on the CAP, which breaks the signal wire. Some are even so severe that the insulation comes off of the card; This is due to rough handling. The other cause is one or more of the seizure of power solder connections to the card system become broken. This is also linked to the severe treatment. I saw a case where all three power and three of the four mechanical linkages connections have been disconnected. If the power supply is bad, a replacement will cure the problem. If this isn't the case, then the decision is wrong, and this will require a replacement of the system board. If you are experienced, you can try to resolder the connections. I am experienced and wasn't able to get my daughter E6000 work by resoldered. Newer Dells use a replaceable power connection card which is a less expensive repair.

  • Power adapter can remain plugged in or not?

    I wish that, because of the good battery works.

    PS Sorry for my English, I'm Russian.

    Hello Francis,.

    said that the adapter should be disconnected during charging the battery in the portable professional past.

    But today, the battery can be plugged into the hole day. The current batteries are fine and the AC adatper and software are also "smart." When the battery is fully charged, the software stops the loading process.

  • No way to prevent the dupes in the Premiere project file?

    Due to working with the PluralEyes as well as several editors on the same project, I deal with the importation of many XML and PRPROJ in project files existing files I've worked with.

    This, on a large scale, is becoming untenable because every time I import work of another editor or a synchronized sequence, I receive duplicates of all my assets in the project. I'm trying to understand if there any way to have first check to see if the media is already imported and that the media in the imported reference sequence? If this isn't the case, I'll only to be big project files with multiple references to the same support, because me and my other editors work with the same media, but for different sequences.

    As far as I know, when you import an XML or even a sequence of another project of creation, it creates new key elements for each element used in the imported sequence. It does not recognize that you already have a main part that you use in another sequence which refers to the same media.

    So if you want to keep the two sequences in your project, you must keep the two main elements. If you delete a main element of your bin, it won't stay in the sequence that is references to him, he'll cut off, leaving a big smoking crater where there was once. Even if the sequence is not open now. It's one of the things I loved about FCP7. You could remove each of your master clips and your sequence would be totally unchanged. You could even recreate the main elements by dragging your sequence in the trash.

    I think that if there is really no way to manage these duplicates, it is a HUGE problem for professionals who work in environments with several publishers. It's not just one "well, learn how to deal with a new editing system" - it's actually a deal-breaker; and in fact the only one I see REALLY preventing first to be the choice of go-to post larger houses. This problem becomes so big, so fast that it is true collaborative editing impossible. In my office, we have three people on a project, all the edition revising segments and pass them back. On FCP7, it's simple as Hello - we have just cut and paste between project files and use basic best practices for version control. First, our project files are quickly turning into nightmares and work is often deleted or lost.

    I want to see:

    -Smart handling media in the import of sequences and projects. First must look at the location of the file and folder names and try to recreate a link to any media duplicate. If he stumbles, he must ask for help as the PCF.

    -A media inspection to the consolidation feature. I would love to see an option for the inspection of your project for media duplicate references. When found, first must consolidate automatically.

    -Export of the rationalization sequence. You should be able to export a single sequence. I know there is a version of this in the project manager, but we know all that it should be easier than this!

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Experience an extreme frustration with this same in CC 2015! Filled a bug report, I hope really that this can be resolved soon!

    Hi Darius,.

    Please fill your specific frustrations here in a bug report.

    Difficult for me to convince major productions to make the transition to first where exist some small stupid things like this again...

    You can avoid duplicates in many cases, but you must start each project with a few things in mind, especially if you work in a collaborative environment.

    • There will be a 'master' for each production project in which you are working. This project is read/write.
    • You import other projects of other collaborators via inspect the file of the project through the master project of Media Explorer (you can open several Media Browser and save several favorite media browsers). These projects are going to be read-only.
      • These items may be sequences, graphics, music, etc..,.
    • Before starting work on the main project, make sure that you enable 'Write XMP IDS in the files when importing' in Preferences > media.
      • This will tag each media element with a unique ID, which Premiere Pro allows to follow.
      • Then the application will recognize the duplicate items and avoid their display.
      • If a music video, graphics or other media Reference does not exist in the main project, an attachment point is imported to establish a main element.

    You can say "major productions" that it is the method used by the Coen brothers, teams of Assembly and Fincher. If you have any questions, please let me know.
