Dell Inspiron 15 3542 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. The Dell Inspiron 15 3542 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. Because Dell uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate.
Red flags your AC adapter has to be replaced
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up completely
- Most Dell AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not operate using just the AC power adapter
