Alienware M17X Power Adapter
The Alienware M17X AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and powering the laptop. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Alienware OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate. If you decide to buy an non-Alienware adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Because Alienware has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
What red flags are there that my Alienware AC adapter has gone bad?
- The unit will not operate while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Alienware battery refuses to charge at all
- The majority of Alienware power chargers will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
