Hi,
I have a Dell laptop which I run on AC Power without the battery. I have a good charger too but from the past few days it shows me a prompt that it might be faulty (Even though it’s perfectly fine) and limits the CPU frequency close to 0.7GHz. I’ve read that it might be a bios limiter but I couldn’t find any manjaro specific solutions. I don’t know if ubuntu solutions work for this( being new to Linux). I can’t even get and try a new charger as my country is in lockdown.
Help would be appreciated.
Edit: I checked in the bios-menu it shows my adapter type as unknown( It worked fine untill yesterday even though it’s aftermarket) and I can’t get a new one at the moment. Any workaround for this that will work on manjaro.
Here is the inxi output
