Description

This user manual has nothing on its front page so one might wonder whether this is the correct user manual for their Alienware Area-51m 5500/766 notebooks. Here is the proof this is really the correct user manual:

  1. Open Windows Explorer and select the alienware-are151-766.pdf file. You will see the status bar under Windows Explorer says:

    Type: PDF Document Title: Mobile Users Manual Subject: Area-51m 5500/766...blah blah blah...

  2. Open the PDF file and go to page 98. You will see at the bottom of the page there is a small text box:

    CAUTION: MODEL 766Sxx IS DESIGNED TO USE WITH THE FOLLOWING AC ADAPTER MODEL ONLY
    Manufacture: LITE-ON ELECTRONICS, INC.
    Model: PA-1161-02 (160W)

The 101-pages long user manual is not so user friendly so you might want to start reading by referring to page 3 where the Table of Content is in.
