Dell Studio 1557 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. Due to the fact that one Dell adapter is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is the best one to choose. The Dell Studio 1557 AC adapter has two main uses, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
Key indicators that my power adapter has gone bad?
- Most Dell adapters get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not operate while just using AC power
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge whatsoever
