Dell Studio 1558 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. The Dell Studio 1558 power adapter provides two functions, charging the battery and powering the laptop. Because Dell uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to.
What are the signs that the AC adapter has gone bad?
- Most Dell adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The laptop does not work without the battery installed
