Dell Inspiron 15 5542 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. Because Dell uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal power adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, choosing the Dell brand one will probably be the safest way to go. The Dell Inspiron 15 5542 power adapter has two main uses, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Warnings of a defective charger
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up at all
- The laptop does not work while just using AC power
