Dell P04S Series Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Dell brand is the best one to choose. The Dell P04S Series AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
What are the signs that the Dell AC adapter is almost dead?
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not function using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge every time
