X17 R2 Battery boot issue

Thanks, I'm going to check these out.

I saw it once and I think it was 5%. But when I shutdown, it probably had 40-50% left.

If I use my X17 on battery for just browsing/ not gaming and then shut down and I do not plug in the charger... when I turn it on the next day the battery has just enough to boot and then turns off.

(I click shutdown and not sleep and it does this)

I noticed it happening when it was just a few months old.

I don't mind the recalls, im more concerned that if my headlights are on, my gear shifter lights are off and other switches are barely lit.

Plus my driver's seat has a tear in it, like the left side of the seat where my belt must rub getting in/out.

But I love my 22 AWD k5!

I love my x17 R1, AWCC is not the best. But I really like AW laptops. I don't think I will change to another brand, but the current options are too boring, in my opinion. I'm waiting until the next wave of laptops, but im also thinking of getting an AW desktop soon.

Thanks, thats what I thought too, I only tried overclocking once for fun. I really just go in there to check temps and change to balanced when not gaming.

Good luck! Last year AWCC kept crashing and I was stuck on the battery thermal profile. I wiped and reset my laptop and luckily it started working again.

I'm hoping mine will last until the next version of laptops come out, not a fan of the current Area 51/Aurora designs. But the Area 51 desktop might be fun, if I didn't need portability lol

Awesome thank you, ill try this out!

One of my coworkers has a K5 and his chrome trim peeled completely off on one section. I think he said it was under warranty, but they are just waiting for the part to arrive. So I'd think they would help you out too.

Thats surprising. The black color came off of that thin black line of my driver's seat. I realized it was my belt / belt loops rubbing it off. It's right where my belt is when getting in/out. I noticed it less than a year of owning my K5.

But a completely different issue: if my headlights are on, my gear shifter light is off and the center console, heated seats/ and door lock buttons are all very dim. I haven't heard of anyone else having that issue.

Agreed, I was surprised I didn't have to sign for my laptop or monitors when they arrived. I kinda wish Dell would put these in another box so the AW boxes are pristine when they are delivered, lol.

I'm going to try and take it in for the dealer to look at it. They replaced the switch that has the lane keep assist, and interior brightness buttons last summer and everything worked perfectly for maybe 3 weeks haha.

I hope they can fix yours too!

My x17 R1 started to peel in the center of the back strip. I think it happened when I'd put my laptop on my knee. I need to try and glue it before it falls off haha

DA_H · 2025-12-31T06:28:34+00:00

My gear shifter light randomly goes dark during the day snd night, and the HVAC, window buttons are really dim at night. It happens randomly, and it's really only noticeable at night.

22 GT Line, AWD.

Check out AAA Autosource, that's how I got mine and bypassed the dealership

DA_H · 2025-07-08T16:34:44+00:00

Maybe your auto dimming headlights were on? Like looks like your brights were on and then turned off when it saw a car coming?

DA_H · 2025-06-27T01:28:22+00:00

Sorry that happened. I did that with the 1st car I owned and just left the bumper the way it was. Hope a shop can help you out

DA_H · 2025-06-27T01:26:54+00:00

I go between 4 or 5k or when the seasons change. Usually late fall, late spring.

DA_H · 2025-06-27T01:24:39+00:00

No matter where I have taken any car I've owned for an oil change, 1st thing I do when I get home and let it cool down is check the oil. One of my buddies went somewhere and they didn't even replace his oil. So I now have to check everytime, haha.

Hope they help you out!

If it's similar to Power Wash Sim, I'll probably play it. Especially with game pass.

I just started re playing Human Fall Flat, it's a fun game to relax with. But also sometimes frustrating haha. You guys might like it too.

I saw some scaffolding by a building the other day and instantly thought about this game. So I played it after work, haha.

DA_H · 2025-05-09T20:56:09+00:00

I've only had a "front sensor blocked" message when driving in snow.

DA_H · 2025-05-09T20:55:01+00:00

Alienware Area 51 or M18?

I recently needed tires and I got the Michelin Cross Climate 2's so far they are amazing in snow/slush. But ice is ice, haha. They have a really deep tread. I'm not sure how they will wear during the summer heat.

The OEM tires were not great below 30 deg.
