Dell Vostro 1088 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. The Dell Vostro 1088 power adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. When purchasing a replacement adapter, choosing the Dell brand one will probably be the safest way to go.
What happens when my Dell AC adapter is about to stop working?
- Most Dell AC adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up completely
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
