Hi all, whenever I turn on my Dell APS15 laptop I get interference on my DAB radio - I assume it's the wifi adapter that's causing it - any ideas as to how I can fix this ?

Possibly not: Dell laptop plays havoc with DAB Reception! — Digital Spy[^]

It's worth suspecting the PSU - it's a cheap fix and a cheaper test - they can get noisy when they are dying.

All the more reason to check it - if it's defective it's also under warranty.

MS replaced my Surface Go charger after only a few months ...

Unplug it at both ends, and see if the same problems happens on battery only.
