Many Dell Inspiron models have reoccurring power supply problems. The power cords easily become frayed underneath the plastic coating. This causes people to replace their power cords over and over.
But, many people make the mistake of jiggling and wiggling the power cord in the back of their laptops before giving up and buying a new one.
If you’re guilty of this, you most likely have two problems now.
1) Your power cord has a shortage and does not always power on your laptop (as you already discovered).
2) Your power connector at the back of your laptop has most likely become very loose (this is what most people never discover).
No matter which power cord you buy, the second problem of your power connector being loose will still prevent you from powering your laptop. This is a Dell problem, not a power cord problem.
Can you move your power cord around easily when it is plugged into the back of your laptop? Does the LED light blink on and off when you wiggle the cord around? Does your laptop power on if you hold the cord in “just the right spot”? If this describes your situation, then you probably need more than just a new power cord. You also need to repair the power connector inside the laptop.
You can only do this by soldering the connector back in place. (Do you know how to solder?)
Or, you can call Dell for a new motherboard. (ouch!)
Even if you need to repair your connector you will still need a new power cord. So, this power cord will do. But whatever you do, avoid getting a new power cord from Dell. The original (and replacement) power cords from Dell are the whole reason you’re shopping around for this product in the first place.

I received my order in the time I expected and it was what I ordered. I have always been happy with Amazons service. My problem with this item is with the product itself. This is the third Ac Adapter we have bought for our Dell laptop. The original adaptor just stopped working after about a year after we got the laptop for our teenage son. The second adaptor lasted about a year before it started acting up. We only had the third adaptor for three months. One big problem is that the way the cord comes out of the adaptor it is very easy to bend it or accidently pull the cord cover from the adaptor. I have recently been told that the main reason for the problem with this adaptor is that the laptop can overheat and cause damage to the ac adaptor. We have since bought a cooling pad to keep under the laptop. We will see how this works. We also bought our son a new desktop so the laptop won’t be used as much.

We recieved the charger in a timely fashion and it worked for only one week. I e-mailed the company to make plans for a return and never heard back from them. I think the Amazon approved company’s business plan of cheap products with no customer service must be paying off because I personally gave up trying to contact (no phone #)them and lost my money for a defective part.I have since purchased another charger that works fine.
