Dell PP12S Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement charger, the actual Dell brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Dell PP12S AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Symptoms your AC adapter needs replacing ASAP
- Battery does not charge up every time
- The laptop does not operate without the battery installed
- Most Dell AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
