Dell P04E Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement charger, choosing the Dell brand one will probably be the safest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. The Dell P04E AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Dell uses one power charger that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Some warnings to watch for in a bad power adapter
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
- Most Dell adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge all the time
