Dell Inspiron 1018 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. The Dell Inspiron 1018 AC adapter provides two functions, charging the battery and powering the laptop. When purchasing a replacement charger, choosing the Dell brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Due to the fact that one Dell adapter can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
Indications your power adapter is dying
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up all the time
- Most Dell AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not run using just the AC power adapter
