Dell Inspiron 15 M5010 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Dell brand is the best one to choose. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. The Dell Inspiron 15 M5010 power adapter has two main uses, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Dell uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
Main clues your power adapter is in dire straights
- Battery does not charge every time
- Most Dell AC adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
