Don't buy any. They won't work. Oct 19, 2009
By A. Siddiqui
"AMS"
Hi,
I bought this thinking it would be an easy and cheap fix. I lost my power cord and I really needed a new one.
The adaptor worked poorly for 4 or 5 days. If there was any stress on the connection to the dell power jack the power connection would be lost. Then it completely stopped working.
I took a voltmeter and I can see that the unit is delivering power to the output pin (23 Volts), but I think the pin actually doesn't fit into dell jack. I'm thinking that the manufactures chose the wrong center pin diameter. The device is faulty by design, so that is likely why they are trying to sell them so cheap. Basically, I think it is junk that the manufacturers are trying to unload to recoup costs.
Anyway given the shipping costs and the price of the item it doesn't make sense for me to fight with the vendor to get a refund.
Don't get this one. Pay more and get another that will actually work.

This charger doesn't work, it keeps your computer on but it doesn't charge the computer. Wasted my money. Would not recommend.

Really disappointed with this product May 11, 2010
By Scott J. Penna
"SWORDFISH"
I bought this AC Adapter item thinking it would be a low cost fix in lieu of an OEM DELL 90W replacement Laptop AC adapter. Shortly after 90 days, the power supply got so hot the plastic melted on the adapter itself. I noticed the burning plastic smell and my laptop completely froze up, the laptop shut itself down to prevent it's own damage from the defective AC plug. Nice safety feature from Dell. It was a good thing I didn't fall asleep yet because my house might have caught on fire. Do not buy this adapter!
I think the company should know about this defective product and it would be nice if there is some recourse or exception they could make since there is danger involved with this product. I would return both adapters but I am passed the return policy.
Also the chord was too short, always had to be really close to a plug which was annoying.

This is a worst Adaptor...It will become hot and laptop will become hot too..I will not recommend this item to anyone..Cable is short too...
DO NOT BUY Feb 20, 2012
By J. Layton What a waste, this will power the laptop, but it will NOT charge the battery. When my laptop even boots, there is a message that says this is not compatible, even though my specific laptop is listed as compatible with this. I will be returning this.
