Dell Inspiron 5150 Power Adapter
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 your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. The Dell Inspiron 5150 power adapter provides two functions, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Symptoms the Dell power adapter needs a replacement ASAP
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- Most Dell adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not function while just using AC power
