Dell Inspiron 8600 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. When choosing a new charger, the actual Dell brand will probably be the safest way to go. Due to the fact that one Dell adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. The Dell Inspiron 8600 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
What red flags are there that my Dell AC adapter is not working right?
- The laptop does not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Dell AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge up completely
