Dell Inspiron 7420 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. The Dell Inspiron 7420 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the volts and amps outputs.
Clues of an unhealthy laptop charger
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up at all
- The laptop does not operate while solely using the AC adapter
