I’m having some problem with my Dell laptop. If I run on just the battery everything is fine. If, however, I run the laptop plugged into the wall, it will randomly drops its wireless internet connection. If I repair the network connection it works fine for a period of time. But sooner or later, it will drop the connection again. But if I’m not connected to power and am just using the battery, the wireless network connection never drops.
My signal strength is always excellent.
Posted by The Vorlon at December 1, 2005 8:22 PMHow about that - My Dell laptop only works when it's plugged into the docking station! :)
Actually, that's not entirely true. It works very well on battery. I just can't get the battery to recharge unless it's in the docking station.
The AC adapter plugs in fine and seems to register current (and I've even tried other adapters that work for other people), but no dice. My suspicion is that the "charging port" - or something between there and the battery - is dead.
Since it recharges in the docking station, it seems a logical conclusion. Unfortunately that thing is pretty bulky to carry around...
