NA Laptop For Dell Inspiron E1505Customer Review: Not worth it.
I bought this after my Dell A/C adapter crapped out. I thought it was a pretty decent price. So I bought it. When I got it, plugged it in, and it sparked a little. So I took it out checked it and everything. SO I plugged it in a different plug. Didn't do it. So I popped it in to my laptop. And it worked. About a month and a half later of random sparking, and overheating, it finally pretty much stopped working. It won't charge the battery but it will hold the charge my battery has. Which thankfully is fully charged. This adapter would get so hot it'd overheat the computer, and the mouse would go funny. It wouldn't work right, you couldn't move the mouse. A couple of weeks ago I had to take the power cord out, plug it back into the adapter, plug it back into the computer and rotate the plug that goes into the back of the computer. JUST for it to register that it was even plugged in. But it would not charge the computer. So all in all, I would NOT recommened this "product" to Anyone. Save the 20 bucks you'll waste on this, and another five for the year, and spring for a Dell adapter.
Customer Review: Good for a month.
I've owned FIVE of these in two years - They keep breaking! Last night my current one burned out so I've had to order another to keep using my laptop. On the Dell website they sell these adapters for $80, $20 is a stretch as is. If you're lucky, the protective wire casing wont split open. The first two I owned died because of the casing splitting open. I've actually learned to reinforce the plug that goes into the laptop with ducktape and toothpicks to keep it stiff. You also have to worry about it randomly burning out or overloading. In which case it'll emit an insanely high beeping noise. 11/2/08 Update: The cord is shorter then the others I have owned... Either the plug on my laptop is going bad or the adapter is already screwed out of the box. It constantly disconnects putting the laptop on battery. To fix this I have to move the cord around and spin the connecting end in the laptop's port for it to go back to "On AC Power."
