Dell XPS M170 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. The Dell XPS M170 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go.
How do you know when your Dell power adapter is about to fail?
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up whatsoever
- Most Dell adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not function without the battery installed
