Doing a little digging I worked out that my dell ac adaptor and the laptop actually talk to each other a bit when they are plugged in, so the pc can determine what capabilities the adaptor has. Also different companies tend to have different shaped plugs (just to be annoying...). Anyway, I found a friend with the same adaptor, tried it and low and behold it fixed my problems with that, so I am happy as it is a cheap adaptor to replace and not an expensive DELL repair... However, it this may not be the whole story as I think during the short time I tried out his adaptor I did experience a lock up in cpuspeed at hibernation which was fixed by a reboot. I am not sure since I only had it for a short time, so I'll find out more when I have a new adaptor. One thing - I guess other people also experiencing this have tested their ac adaptors ? If yours are OK and you also experience this then I guess there definitely is something else going on ?
