Dell Inspiron M5010 Power Adapter
The Dell Inspiron M5010 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of the output of amps and voltage. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Dell uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
