    Hi, it seems this is a quite common occurrence with Dell laptops:


    AC adapter wattage and type cannot be determined 301060d1602266056t-ac-power-wattage-type-cannot-determined-1.png


    There should be something there that will help.

    Otherwise:

    How are these set, assuming you have them both, or an equivalent?

    Is this definitely because performance is limited on these grounds?

    What does this show?

    RE: AC power wattage and type cannot be determined I also have one of those Dell Studio 17" 1747 on hand, outside of the original battery slowly losing charge over 3-4 months of no use it works good.
