Dell Inspiron 17R 3721 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When choosing a new AC adapter, choosing the Dell brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. The Dell Inspiron 17R 3721 power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary.
