My ac adapter has failed all of a sudden. I use this laptop as a desktop replacement and keep it plugged in most of the time on my desk. I went in tonight and the laptop was off. I hadn't shut it down recently so turned it back on, and it shut down right away. I realized it wasn't getting power. Checked my ac adapter and the blue ring that normally lights on the male end of the plug wasn't lit. I tried the adapter in a few different outlets. No change. I wiggled the connections around. No change.
This is a 130w adapter, model DA130PE1-00, dell p/n wrhkw
I took an older dell adapter i had, 90w, and plugged it in and it worked fine. That tells me it's not the laptop or the wall outlet, but indeed a bad adapter.
This should be covered under my extended warranty plan. I sent an email regarding this but wasn't sure if it would be better to post here or not. Does dell tech support monitor these forums?
Thanks.
