1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs!, August 6, 2008

By 

MisterMetal (Somewhere in Canada) - See all my reviews

Beware!!! This is not an official Dell unit and is of extremely poor quality. Despite this AC adaptor being "rated" at 90 watts, my Inspiron 9400/E1705 only detects 65 watts of actual output. When running off this adaptor, it actually DRAINS my battery! It will only charge the battery when the computer is powered off. There is no UPC, Serial No. or Part No. on the unit itself, and the whole unit is very light and reeks of cheapness. Don't waste your time with this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Dell charger, October 10, 2008

This review is from: Dell Inspiron 8500 8600 90W PA-10 AC Adapter DF266 (Electronics)

This is described as a Dell Charger...IT IS NOT. It is a cheap looking imitation. However, it worked, and was inexpensive. I have not gotten any error messages, but I have a serious problem with describing something, and posting an image, of a genuine replacement, and then getting something else. The Battery Center should not be allowed to do this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a genuine Dell product, but works ok., September 14, 2008

This review is from: Dell Inspiron 8500 8600 90W PA-10 AC Adapter DF266 (Electronics)

Despite being advertised as "a Genuine Dell PA-10 Family 90W AC Power Adapter", this is not a genuine Dell product. It has the exact same size/shape as the Dell unit, but lacks the Dell logo, and appears slightly lower in quality, with a shorter and cheaper feeling cord.

The computer doesn't recognize it as a Dell unit either, and gives a warning (both on boot and in Windows) that it isn't genuine and won't charge the battery, and that the computer will run at a lower speed. Despite this, I found that it does charge the battery and the computer runs at full speed.

So this is far from a perfect replacement. However, Dell's own units are of such abysmally low quality (I had 3 fail in the first year of owning my laptop), that this one can hardly be worse.

Worth it for the price (much lower than buying from Dell), with the above caveats.
