Dell Inspiron 5100 Power Adapter
The Dell Inspiron 5100 AC adapter provides two functions, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the Inspiron 5100 model. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Dell brand is usually going to be the safest choice. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to.
What are the signs that the power adapter is in need of a replacement?
- Most Dell adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not function using just the AC power adapter
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge all the time
