1.0 out of 5 stars slow delivery, interfers with TV, laptop wouldn't recognize, October 25, 2007

This review is from: Dell PA16 / PA-16 60 watt AC Adaptor for Inspiron 1000 1200 1300 2200 3000 3200 3500 7000 B120 B130 and Latitude 110L 120L (Electronics)

Took well over a week from order to arrival, 3 days before it was even shipped. Plugged it in and it sizzled and popped at first, then interfered with TV reception (not cable), interference was positional but couldn't get rid of it entirely. When I plugged it into the laptop I had to really work to get the laptop to realize it had AC power, and any movement would make laptop think it was disconnected even though connection was intact. Maybe it was just this one individual unit, but most unhappy with it.

This item is NOT a Dell product. The AC Adaptor is just that...not a charger. It will not maintain the laptop battery charge, so it's useless. Still need to buy another one. I guess this is how we "learn" what not to buy! Very surprised that it's still for sale through Amazon, with the amount of negative reviews.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be careful, December 22, 2008

This review is from: Dell PA16 / PA-16 60 watt AC Adaptor for Inspiron 1000 1200 1300 2200 3000 3200 3500 7000 B120 B130 and Latitude 110L 120L (Electronics)

Be very careful when using this product. My parents were using as a replacement to their old one, two days after using it they came home to their house smelling like fish. They followed the smell down stairs and realized it was coming from the outlet the laptop was pluged into.

From other reviews I've read that the charger gets very very hot and they're worried about burning things,well my mothers outlet singed up back into the wall and up the cords inside the wall atleast 10 inches. everything thing else that was plugged into the same outlet (even through a power strip!) was burnt as well at the prongs. This caused some of the items to not work any more. If my mother wouldn't of caught it our house would of surely caught on fire from the looks of the outlet after words.

I'm not entirely sure the adapter is what did it, but because of the many other reviews I've read and what happend after my mother had it plugged into the wall, I can only make an assumption that it was the cord.

I'm not 100% sure it was the cord, but my recommendation if you are considering this cheap alternative is to go through the revews and make your own decision.
