Dell Inspiron 500M Power Adapter
When choosing a new adapter, the actual Dell brand will probably be the safest way to go. The Dell Inspiron 500M power adapter has two main uses, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Due to the fact that one Dell adapter is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
What red flags are there that my power adapter has to be replaced?
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Most Dell adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
