Dell XPS M1530 Replacement Charger

Donald-Duck

My charged bricked it and died tonight, making an angry beeping noise when plugged in. I need to get a replacement one quickly and dell will take about a week to get it to me.

When it comes to the electronics end of stuff, I'm pretty stupid.

The charger I currently have is 90W, is it a problem if I get higher than this?

Also its 19.5V, while most chargers that I can find online are 19V, will that be a problem?

Or does anyone know anywhere in Dublin that I can get a replacement charger for it? I can see that maplins and peats have universal chargers but its pretty difficult to tell from the pictures on their websites if the tips are compatable.

Ones I found online that I'm not sure about working, if they have compatable tips are :

A better option from Peats than the one you selected. It does Dell, 19.5v and is €10 cheaper.

It doesnt matter if the charger is over 90watts. That rating just means how much power the PSU can supply safely and without overheating/frying. So more is not a problem, it just means the charger has more headroom.

The voltage shoul ideally be the same. 0.5V might not sound like much, and may work, but I would still try to match it exactly.

Just as an aside, most universal chargers are pure junk. I know people who've gone through 3 or 4 of them in the course of a year. They just generally arent very sturdy, especially around the connector that goes into the laptop. So go easy on it, try not to wrap the cord tightly etc.

The only good ive seen is a white Belkin one, very sturdy and durable. Not sure where they sell them though.
