Dell Dimension 5150 Power Adapter
The Dell Dimension 5150 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement adapter, choosing the Dell brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate.
Signs of an unhealthy AC adapter
- Most Dell AC adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge all the time
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
