Dell PP19L Power Adapter
Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, the actual Dell brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Dell PP19L AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my Dell AC adapter is crapping out?
- The unit will not work using just the AC power adapter
- The majority of Dell power chargers can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge all the time
