Fix Your Dell Power Adapter Connection For Cheap

[...] Click here. [...]

I have a similar problem with my Inspiron 1525, that charger would not “charge” my computer, it had to be plugged in to even be turned on and so Dell sent a technician out to fix my clock that was no longer working on my less than year old computer and replace my motherboard, one problem he has never worked on my type of computer before, when he left the lights on my computer no longer worked, my computer no longer went into sleep mode and my touch pad no longer worked! We have called Dell 7 times, e-mailed 2 times and my problem has still not been resolved. I have read a lot online about Dell Hell but this was never expected. My Fiance was an avid Dell buyer, he has spent thousands of dollars on Dell products. If our problem is not resolved he may be closing his account with them and we will never buy another Dell product, again. I hate when companys do nothing for their customers.

Sincerely,

Samantha

same problem, got it fixed cheap from a local for 100$, he said it was much harder than he thought
4 months later i STILL NEED TO TAPE MY CHARGER IN MY LAPTOP.
over the christmas break i heard a shock, and the charger was done. at this point i do not know if the charger is messed or if it’s the laptop plug in thingy.
i have a gateway from around 2002-4 with a model: PA-1121-08 adapter.
thanks so much. i thought i was the only one.

BTW, when i plug my chager into the wall and laptop at the same time it makes a beeping noise. probably mean that it is broken.

aah samantha, when my dude fixed my laptop, when i closed it the lights didnt work either! these dell computer people seem like they know nothing but where to turn it on.

I too cannot keep my charger cord on my 1501 Inspiron computer.
I think that my computer is now obsolete should tell me something. Personally I have never had a moment’s
trouble with Dell service personel. My computer has messed up twice and they went out of their way to fix it when I
was under warranty. Now my cord is on the blink. I personally believe it has more to do with the few times I have dropped it on a hard floor.
I have always had a comment read that it is not the correct
make of cord however. I haven’t had any problems with it
recharging though.
Did Dell get some imitation products sold to them?

I had the same reading on my microsoft software and
it is the legitimate thing according to all factory labels.
Hmm.
I bought it directly from Dell….should be a Dell.
I have had many glitches and problems at the beginning.
Now that all has been worked out I love my Dell.

I Have a E1505 and it gets the same faulty message when it boots. Problem mostly besides the battery not charging, it will only run at Half spped and I do alot of Video work that now takes forever.

I have the same issue with a Dell D610. The power cord is not so loose that it falls out, but it is so loose, a simple snag will unplug it.

I believe this is an intentional design so if someone trips on teh power cord, they won’t pull your laptop off a table to crash on the floor.

It is very annoying, though, since the cord becomes unplugged rather “stealthily”, and the battery eventually dies.
