Dell Vostro 2421 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. The Dell Vostro 2421 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go.
Clues your power adapter is going to die
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Most Dell adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up every time
