    Hi,
    Windows is not callculating correct time to fully charge my Alienware 15 R1. I think this was from the beginning... It is usually stated 01 minute or just "untill fully charged". When unplugged, time to discharge is set correctly. Anyone know how to fix this? Is this somehow connected with express charge or what?

    I think this has something to do with the hybrid BIOS. Just a guess though.

    This could help ^^

    I've seen it before, I'll check if I can get one with the issue and disable express charge as well.
