It's probably a notebook that you started unplugged from the mains power.
Mine is stupid enough to believe that I *want* to save power if I plug
the mains *after* powering it up ! And there's no way to force it to
switch from 600 to nominal freq afterwards ! So I have to connect it to
the mains first.
