Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

can't tell you anything about certifications but have a look at the massive power supply.

 

The dock comes with a smaller power supply. Use the big brick with the dock and use the smaller as your portable.

 

Is that still 210W? If not, does the M6400 cope with it?

 

It's a 130w or 150w(I don't have it with me right now), but it works just fine.

 

The dock for the M6400 Comes with a 210W power supply. You more than likely purchased the dockfor the E series (both will work by the way)

The 130W PS will work, but it will just charge the battery at a reduced rate.

 

Hmmm...well that is what the dell rep ordered for me. That could possibly explain the other issues I'm having with external monitors.

 

This is what you want:

Its the same as the e-port plus, just with the 210 PS

I'd bet if you pointed this out to your rep he would give you a spare 210W PS to correct the mistake - the PS by itself is only like 50 bucks retail. I think its the same one from an xbox360 >.<

 

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I just wrote my rep, we'll see if she sends me a new PS.

 

Nah.. I have the 210W power brick on mine and I experience the external monitor problems.

 

I got a reply back from my Rep, she wants to exchange them for me, I'm going to see if she'll give me a good deal if I hang onto the 130W and just order a 210W. I post later.
