My laptop's adapter burned out yesterday, and I've been running around trying to get a replacement, with no luck. I've got a Dell Inspiron E1505, which apparently does not get along with a lot of the universal adapters the local stores carry. Does anyone know of a brand that does work with Dell's? I've dealt with their parts replacement division before, and I'd prefer to avoid doing again unless I have to.

10 seconds of Googling.

You can try eBay; link one link two

Note the two above are Dell labeled and not some cheap knockoffs.

Looking at Zod's link, those look to be cheap knock offs as well considering the reviews. Unless of course, the adapter for this laptop is shit given your own situation.

Thanks! I didn't think there would be many sources for Dell parts online aside from Dell themselves, so I didn't look. As for the genuine/non-genuine issue, it was the factory-original that blew on me, and it's about 1.5-2 years old. From my adventures today, I've heard that this series of adapters and the ones following it have been getting progressively shittier, sometimes only lasting about 6 months.

I have bought a lot of items for my Dell Laptops from sources other than Dell. Dell charges up the butt for their components.

I tend to go to Priority Electronics a lot
