Hi guys, apologize if I'm repeating this ... but can someone tell me is it normal for my AC Power Adapter to be really hot. It's so hot that I can barely touch it.
I'm having the 1640 model. |

QUOTE(maolnorlexu @ Jun 25 2010, 04:56 PM) u see, at the age of 3 days, my baby adapter suddenly not working (no light and so all) I suspect that my switch plug at my office faulty one, so I call dell and they asked me to diagnose.. they told me, dell will replaced me with a new one and I receive those item before 4pm the next day Does Dell work over the weekend? p/s sorry bad english  If not, then I'm going to run some games on it over the weekend to see whether my SXPS16 got any issue or not. Been reading a lot of complaints about throttling from notebookreview.com so wanna test my unit as well. Can't believe this ... only own it for 1 day.

Mine also no throttling so far but those in the US reported their XPS 1640 also throttled.im using c2d model so far playing games no throttling..

QUOTE(hidz7 @ Jul 16 2010, 02:18 PM) looks like everyone want one..but what reason we have to say to them? Well ... for me ... since I already have a case of complaining my adapter was burning hot ... I want to complain again ... and try to ask for a replacement 130W adapter. I plan to tell the DELL customer service that I read in the internet (notebookreview.com) that this is a design weakness that can only be rectified with a new 130W adapter. Not sure can work or not ... but I'll try.  |
