Dell Inspiron 1501 Power Adapter
The Dell Inspiron 1501 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. Upon choosing a replacement charger, the actual Dell brand is usually going to be the safest choice.
Simple warnings that your charger needs to be replaced?
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The unit will not work while just using AC power
- Most Dell AC adapters get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
