Is it true that a 65w charger won't charge battery if 90w is required?
I had to replace the system board in a customer's vostro 1710.
The new system boar apparently now requires a 90 w charger as I am getting the famous boot up prompt with the original 65 watt charger
More disturbing is the fact that the battery is not charging now.
Is it really true that the system will not charge the battery without a 90 watter?
Thanks in avance

Hi bitman2112,
Welcome to the Community. Yes you will need a 90watt AC adapter to be able to charge your battery. Until then you will keep getting that message on startup, and the battery will not charge. Check the AC adapter status in the Bios by pressing F2 at the Dell Logo, if its says unknown, then you need another 90w adapter.
Thank you
Royan
