Dell Inspiron 3200 Power Adapter
The Dell Inspiron 3200 power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and powering the laptop. 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. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. When choosing a new AC adapter, the actual Dell brand is usually going to be the safest choice.
Major signs of a barely functioning power adapter
- Most Dell AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- The unit will not operate using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge up at all
