1.0 out of 5 stars NOT 100% COMPATIBLE, September 2, 2008

This review is from: PA-12 Dell OEM Inspiron 500M Laptop AC Adapter (Electronics)

sounds like everyone having a problem is getting a charger with the wrong wattage, E1505 laptops require 90w adapters and E1405 laptops require 60w adapters, yet this company has both listed in the compatability section. Sounds like they are shipping underpowered 60w adapters to those that need 90w...

underpowering a laptop poses no real risk to your laptop but results in the underpowered screen flickering, a cut out in trackpad (mouse) power, and even a high pitched noise comming from the charger. underpowering also later results in a smoking and broken charger. These are ALL symptoms of a 60w charger being used for a 90w computer, and are ALL symptoms listed by other bad reviews.

i wouldn't buy one until they have the compatability mess figured out, or at least list the wattage of their product.

Don't buy this! It made my screen flicker non-stop and their is no easy way to return this product. It barely charges my computer and it was definitely not worth it. I'm sorry I didn't listen to the bad reviews but I needed it and did not think it could be that bad.

The charger is defective. It would blink at me and would make the screen flicker every second because it wouldn't charge my battery. Would not recommend this adapter or the seller BrilliantStore.
