Well, I'm pleased to report the bug has been fixed in the latest BIOS v1.17.1 - the annoying message appears one final time after the BIOS update but then disappears for good. POST behaviour > Adapter warning can be left checked for pertinent messages, e.g. when plugging in a 90W adapter instead of the recommended 180W one. Really glad this was fixed. Cheers.
Hi everyone. I recently connected a Dell U2421HE monitor to my G5 5590 laptop via USB-C. Everytime I start the machine I'm presented with the following warning: "You have attached a power adapter to a port that does not accept power. Attach a power adapter to your systems power port." I can verify a power adapter is already plugged into the power connector and supplying power, so a) I don't understand why such a warning is displayed and b) I'd like to know how I can disable this unnecessary message. I have to click on "continue" and wait for another reboot for the laptop to boot normally. Reboot cycles are not short on this machine so having to wait for a second reboot is time consuming. There are two options dealing with warnings in BIOS under POST behavior, Adapter Warnings and Warnings and Errors, neither of which can be used to disable this annoying message. There's no option to disable power delivery via USB-C on the monitor. Is there some other option in BIOS to disable this message? The only workaround I've found so far to prevent this message from appearing and having to wait for a reboot is to press F12 for boot options when the boot logo shows and start the boot drive manually. Cheers.
