Dell Vostro 3500 Power Adapter
Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. When purchasing a replacement adapter, choosing the Dell brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. The Dell Vostro 3500 AC adapter provides two functions, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Subtle hints the Dell power adapter will die soon
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge every time
- Most Dell adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
