Dell PP36S Power Adapter
Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. The Dell PP36S AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop.
Major clues of a laboring charger
- Battery does not charge all the time
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Most Dell adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
