Yes, it`s designed to save battery power in Notebooks. You can usually override it,in the Power Options applet in the control panel,or you can download SpeedswitchXP which wil make it easier.
I think I may have realized this issue. I have been using a non Dell Power supply. My deel power supply died. The power supply I am using will allow me to use the D610 but will not charge the battery and is not recognized by the Bios. I have purchased a power supply for my D610 and it should arrive on Wednesday. I hope this will fix the issue. What do you guys think?
Yes it does Tedster and I have just moved it. However, pm`ing a mod to get it moved is better than posting to say it needs moving, as only mods can move threads. Regards Howard
