CPU Speed stuck at 0.4 GHZ if charger plugged out.

Latitude 5420

Hi,

I have Latitude 5420. I am dealing with the problem that once i plug out the charger, CPU is limiting itself at 0.4Ghz.

Things i have tried so far:

1-) Fresh Windows install (10)

2-) Up-to-date bios and drivers.

3-) Holding power button for resetting the cmos battery.

4-) Lastly, upon my ticket, dell change the mainboard.

Still no luck....... Still whenever i plug the charger. Laptop becomes ridiciliously slow...

Run diagnostics, F12 immediately at boot, and check for any battery problems. If the battery is weak or not charging properly that can cause a problem as you described.
