Dell Inspiron 11-3138 Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Dell adapter powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Dell Inspiron 11-3138 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. Upon choosing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary.
General indicators that your the Dell power adapter is in need of replacing
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Battery does not charge every time
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
