Dell Inspiron 15 N5050 Power Adapter
The Dell Inspiron 15 N5050 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. When choosing a new adapter, the actual Dell brand is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Red flags of a failing AC adapter
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up completely
- The unit will not work while just using AC power
- Most Dell AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
