Dell Studio 1458 Power Adapter
The Dell Studio 1458 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the Studio 1458 model. If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is the best one to choose. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to.
Subtle hints your power adapter has to be replaced
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up every time
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
- Most Dell adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
