Dell PP36X Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. Because Dell uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Dell PP36X AC adapter provides two functions, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to.
General indicators that your laptop charger will eventually need to be replaced
- Most Dell adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge up at all
- The laptop does not operate using just the AC power adapter
