FantasyAcquiesce Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 My Dell Latitude D600 suddenly decided my Dell AC Adapter isn't genuine despite being used for nearly a year now, like the title says my battery cannot be charged because the system claims its not genuine and performance is throttled because of it. Are there any fixes to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, it depends on the reason why it happens, JFYI: http://www.laptop-junction.com/toast/content/dell-ac-power-adapter-not-recognized Provided that the actual charger works properly and the "ID part" is gone, there is actually a "fix", but you won't like it:http://hackaday.com/2014/03/03/hacking-dell-laptop-charger-identification/ jaclaz Edited March 24, 2017 by jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasyAcquiesce Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) My charger does indeed work (tested it on another dell, my e4310 model) and is actually a genuine dell. I disassembled the laptop to look inside and see the jack. I've read there might be pins which determine if the charger is genuine? Could I in theory manually have the pin moved to ensure the laptop always reads an ac adapter as genuine? Haven't doen research yet, at school atm EDIT: Searched a bitWhat I've found Modding the bios (although there doesn't seem to be any modded bios) Opening up the charger's power supply (not recommended) Link you gave me I just learned Dell is pretty lousy...
