Dell 130W Watt PA-4E AC DC 19.5V Power Adapter Battery Charger Brick with Cord

It’s what I needed and the store would’ve taken weeks to get.

I was hesitant to buy this because the price was so low (theyre asking $70 on the Dell website), which I figured meant it was either counterfeit or the wrong product. I looked around and decided it was worth the risk. I was not disappointed, the product appears to be authentic and worked without any errors when I plugged it in. It even has the blue LED indicator so you know at a glance if its receiving wall power. My computers performance now EXCEEDS its previous performance (in terms of framerate while gaming and CPU speed), which may mean my Dell adapter was failing a lot earlier than expected (which is a shame, the PC is less than a year old and I didnt mistreat the power cord). So for anyone with a Dell Inspiron 7559, rest assured that this product WILL work for you. I have confirmed it! I will be sure to update this review if the product fails or anything goes wrong.

Sin problemas con este cargador con Dell xps L502x todo ok sin alertas de incompatibilidad.lo he usado unos 6 meses y está en perfectas condiciones.

Within 3 months the wire at the edge which goes into the laptop was out of the enclosure and will soon be at risk of causing a electrical sparks.

Heres a cautionary tale for people with laptops: if your charging cable has a light indicator and it suddenly stops working and then youre computer says it cant recognize the AC power supply youre using, get a new AC adapter immediately. I have a Dell XPS 15 L501x with a quad core Intel Core i7 processor. This laptop rocks. As a classical guitarist and a pianist, my fingers are sensitive to the feel of keyboards, and the keyboard on this puppy is awesome. Its firm but not overly firm, and it gives that satisfying little click without being too loud. The JBL speakers kick ass over anything Ive heard on other laptops. And the screen? It rivals any screen out there. UPDATE (10/3/2015): I joked before about the sparking that occurs when you plug this into an outlet. Well, I guess I shouldnt have joked about it because suddenly when I plugged it in, the light on the far end of the cord (i.e. the circular blue light) would go on for a second and then go off, and no power was running through it. I checked all the connections and couldnt find a problem. The problem? The sparking destroyed the outlet. But when I plugged this unit into a different outlet, the lovely sparking occurred and the power brick worked. Very bizarre. So, Im changing this from a 4-star to a 3-star rating. This also demonstrates a problem with reviews on Amazon: The original review and rating should stay up but get pushed down the viewing queue as more recent updates and potentially changed ratings are created. Its good to see the history of things. Why talk about my laptop? Because all of this high-end tech requires a lot of energy. About a year after I received this laptop, the little blue light ring on the AC adapter cord wouldnt turn on. At that time, my laptop was under warranty. It was under what I call the Cadillac of all warranties which is Dells full on-site warranty. Theres a reason why Im reluctant to unequivocally call it a full warranty, but Ill get to that in a little while. So I called Dell, and the technician assured me that the light going off meant nothing. It was kind of like one Christmas light on the tree going out. So, Im thinking, Damn, if the light means nothing, then why is it there? Ive had other Dell laptops previously, and none of them had any lights on the AC adapter cable. Then shortly after that, my laptop started getting wonky. How wonky? Dell had to send someone out to my house 3 times to replace the motherboard. Seriously, thank god I had the full extended warranty. And also, how much did those three visits and the 3 new motherboards cost Dell? But finally the problem seemed to subside. Then for a couple of years, I would occasionally see this error message pop up on my screen at startup saying that the AC adapter couldnt be recognized. That seemed strange because my laptop was clearly drawing power from the plugged in AC cord. Then about 6 months ago, all hell broke loose. Seriously, I was in the middle of writing a book, and my laptop kept freezing and/or shutting down. And I could never predict when it was going to happen. Fortunately I backed up my hard drive, and then I realized that maybe the whole problem was my hard drive, so I got a new sweet 1TB Western Digital hard drive, cracked open my laptop, installed it, and prayed for the best. That kind of solved the frequency of the problem, but the laptop was still freezing and/or shutting down at least 3 times a day (note: before it was freaking out every 30 minutes). Then I decided to get a new AC adapter. Guess what? Those messages at startup about my laptop not being able to recognize my AC adapter suddenly disappeared. Also, my laptop works a lot better. Of course, the one thing about this genuine Dell power adapter is that every 5 or 10 times I plug it into the wall, it sparks a bit. Who knows what causes that? Im pretty sure its not the fact that Ive been carrying around a bit more static charge as Im trying to wean myself off of Bounce anti-static dryer sheets because Ive heard some negative things about them. People tell me that I have a bit of an electrifying personality. But could the electricity from my personality be somehow tunneling into the rubber of the AC adapter as I plug the thing into the wall outlet and causing a little fireworks display? Hmm.... But at least my laptop works, for the most part. Ive troubleshot the hell out of this situation, and my final conclusion is that all of the craziness that was going on was caused by the AC adapter not working properly (note: the Dell tech told me that these things are only rated to work properly for 1 year, and thats why the warranty for the adapter is only for one year, even though I bought the full service warranty for 3 years. Somehow, Dell consistently fails to mention this when you are in the process of ordering a new laptop from their online store. My best guess is that using the improperly working AC adapter caused a problem with power management by the motherboard. And so now, even though Ive got the AC adapter problem fixed, the current motherboard is still damaged from all the time I was using my previous AC adapter while it was functioning suboptimally. How do I know? Because whenever I use anything that is a bit graphics-intensive (e.g. looking at an online course for Udemy, trying to watch Hulu, or even loading onto the Sports Illustrated website), my laptop freezes immediately like water thrown off the balcony of an apartment in Siberia during the winter. I suppose I could just replace the motherboard, but a new motherboard for this dog costs around $400. Hell, for that much I could get just about get a decent new Dell laptop (note: $400 for the new XPS 15 model with the Skylake processor coming out soon is probably just going to get me the 3-year extended warranty with a little change left over for the actual laptop). What I wish is that a few years ago the Dell tech had said, Doobie, if that little blue light goes out on your AC adapter, youve got to change it, even if it means changing it every year. It would have saved a me a whole lot of time, pain and money, but I probably would still be upset that Dell can make a world-class laptop (and I consider the XPS 15 a world-class laptop), but it cant design a world-class AC adapter? Bizarre.

Works like the original.

Item arrived quickly and it works. Now I can travel between home and office with lappy and dont have to drag cords.

On time. And works.

Saved my house from being burned to the ground. Had a wayward Burningmanned tank-girl-looking fire-spinner/stagehand/roadie person of self-disclaimed gender staying in an extra room at my house for um... a little bit longer than we originally thought it was going to be. (Were friends and shes cool and chill, but sometimes not really that bright...) Anyway, I came home one day and put down the grocery bags in the kitchen and saw her on the couch in the living room looking intently at something she was having a hard time twisting on or off. What are you working on, there? Nothing <- first red flag Her twisting on or off motion stopped and I saw that she had her laptop computers power adapter end in one hand. As she was setting it down, her other hand picked up a piece of aluminum foil, (<- second red flag) which she began held in front of her folding between fingers like she was trying to roll a super precision joint (for some reason), tongue sticking out and a winced eye as she folds it into a flat aluminum bar. She picked up the power adapter <- third red flag and started trying to wrap the aluminum bar around the end of the oddly-shaped laptop-end of the power adapter. Um, what are you doing? My laptop power thing died, and Im trying to fix it. With aluminum foil? Are you serious? What, she said with a yeah, I know, totally stupid, right? glimmer in her eye. Burners like to say Safety Third! right before they gleefully tempt fate in one way or another, which seems more like taunting fate than termpting her. Anyway, I digress. Youre going to McGuyver your power adapter with aluminum foil, a paperclip, and some gum? Your power adapter that you use on my (albeit extra) bed, in my ALL-WOODEN-HOUSE. You do see that the floors and the wood paneling in every room of this house are all made out of wood, right? Youve heard the term electrical fire before, right? Um, yeah... Um, no. You are going to get on Amazon right now and order a new one right now. Itll be here tomorrow. This is a lame conversation. And youre not allowed to use your laptop in bed until it gets here. Do you agree? Hey, look at me in the eyes, do you agree? Sure. Hey, do you think you could buy it on your credit card and I can pay you back in cash on Friday? So I bought this thing and it worked. Thanks for being, there, Dell, to sell us replacement parts for your achy-breaky-crap. At least my house didnt burn down. So... 5 stars, Dell.

Bought this to replace my factory Dell charger that came with my laptop. This worked okay for a short while but then the blur light randomly began turning off showing that it was not getting power. I noticed that if I moved the wiring a certain way it would turn back on. Fast forward another couple of weeks, it stopped working altogether. I noticed a bump on the black casing covering the wires, I removed that area of the casing to see if thats where the trouble was. The red wire was completely burned out at that section. Thinking that there were probably more issues than that, I removed the rest of the casing around the wires. I noticed small bumps all along the red, blue, and green wires. I stripped away these areas and found that the wiring in these locations was either completely broken off, or only connected by 1 or 2 wire strands. After stripping and soldering all of these areas that I found, the charger works perfectly. Terrible product, good practice for soldering though. All of the grey tape is where the wire was broken or almost broken.
