Question:

Dell ac adapter/charger stopped working?

I have an Inspiron 1525. The charger suddenly stopped working, the green light turned off. It's definitely not a power socket problem. After stressing out for 15 minutes, I knocked on the charger and plugged it in. After a few minutes I noticed that the battery icon said it was charging. After 10 minutes of charging, I picked up the charger to look at it again, stupidly. As soon as I picked it up it stopped working. What can I do? Can I use someone else's charger in the meantime? Does it have to be Dell? I'm an university student living away from home and the cityI need my laptop. PLEASE HELP!

Answer:

it doesn't have to be a dell charger, it can be a generic one that you buy online, but it has to be a replacement for the charger you have currently. If you know someone with the same type of laptop that would do fine, if not then you might just have to do without until you get a replacement. Just check the amps and the watts on the charger before using it, because they very from object to object.
Sometimes these AC adapters just go out nothing really out of this world. I've gone through 3 Dell AC adapters and two third-party adapters over the course of 4 years. What you can do is try it out on another person's computer. if you know anyone with the same model as yours. If you can't find anyone to help you do that and you absolutely need an AC adapter then you can find a third-party AC adapter at any computer store I buy this universal AC adapter that cost me around 100 bucks but it will work for any laptop of any brand because it comes with little port heads for each model. I'm using it now and it works magnificently! Oh! AND USE YOUR DELL WARANTY IF YOU HAVE IT! YOU CAN GET ANY PARTS SENT TO YOU FREE IF YOU STILL HAVE A WARRANTY WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS!
