What a piece of garbage! My Dell power cords fry every 6 months or so (thank you, Dell), so I opted for a cheaper brand with good ratings. First, it does NOT charge my battery. If it dislodges from the port, the computer goes dead. Getting the adapter to power up takes a feat of magic for about 10 minutes of fiddling with the connections. I have no idea how or when it will work. Every now and then it just powers down, and I lose everything I was working on. I ordered ANOTHER Dell cord *sigh* and as soon as I get the Dell adapter, this one goes back! A Macbook Pro is next.

This adapter may work for other brands of computers, but it will not work for the Inspiron 1420. It will not charge at the same rate and continually triggers a warning prompt regarding possible battery damage. Ultimately I had to pay twice as much for the Dell version, but it did solve the problem. Too bad I purchased two of the adapters before I found out.

This AC adapter is NOT for a Dell Inspiron 1520, which is a heavy desktop replacement. Instead, it is for a Dell E4200 or E4300, both of which are notebooks. It's about 1/3 the size and weight of the AC adapter it's advertised to replace. Amazon needs to correct this ad.

In reading the expanded description it says it works for the Dell Inspiron 6000. It does, but at a lower capacity. Caution!

The cord works well. It cost much less than others I looked at and now I can use my laptop.

I was looking for a replacement for my dell charger which had nearly split in half and had exposed wires by the time I was done with it. Does what it says, provides power & charges my computer.

Revision, December 29, 2010- power supply rubber ripped at the laptop plug end, no longer works. Flex rubber too thin imho. Need to purchase another power supply/charger. Won't be this one.

My original Dell went out suddenly and I found myself searching. This does the job for much less. Like a previous review said, it doesn't always charge the battery for some reason. Just yesterday it stopped charging, just powers the laptop. Still a great deal! I'm happy with it.

adapter works fine for me! have had it for 3 months and have had no problems. battery is charging fine with it as well. am happy with a cheap and (so far) reliable product.

My laptop's battery was completely dead and my old charger would not charge the battery anymore. If it came unplugged, the computer would die. I ordered this product and it worked fine on my Dell. My battery is fully charged and no more worrying if the charger comes unplugged!

bought this for my dell laptop after the original one that came with it went dead. This one fits more snug into the computer plug in hole then that one for some reason which is good because the last one was annoying when it was loose. This one works well in general.
