Dell Latitude LM Power Adapter
Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Dell brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. The Dell Latitude LM power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Subtle cues of a weak Dell power adapter
- The laptop does not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Dell adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up completely
