    When I plug in my M14x It does not charge, and when I boot it says its not getting 150 watts of power to charge it. And sometimes when I plug it in it charges and sometimes it doesn't.

    I have also tried multiple outlets in my house and get the same results.

    Any suggestions?

    Just happened on a friend of mines M14 that he purchased about 3 months ago..........turned out to be the power brick. Loaned him mine and it charged fine, he ordered another as Dell / Alienware wouldn't send him a replacement since he's deployed to Afghanistan.

    Wow, that's ridiculous. He fights so they can have the opportunity to sell their overpriced systems.
