Dell Inspiron 3500 Power Adapter
The Dell Inspiron 3500 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. 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. If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
