Dell PP39S Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, choosing the Dell brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Because Dell uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Dell PP39S power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, please check on both the voltage and amperage output.
Symptoms of a failing charger
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not function using just the AC power adapter
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge whatsoever
