Dell Vostro A840 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. When choosing a new adapter, the actual Dell brand is the best one to choose. The Dell Vostro A840 AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Some warnings the power charger is in dire need of a replacement
- Most Dell adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not operate using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge up completely
