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.

It was going great for a while, working just as well as the original and all of that, but a few minutes ago, I heard it buzzing and I looked down. The charger was about 30 seconds from igniting and was smoking rather nicely. The connection between the power cord and the box on the cord was the part causing the problem. It had been sparking randomly, but then it would stop after one or two sparks.

I'm just going to return it and get one from somewhere else.

This product started falling apart within 2-3 months of purchase and officially blew out today about 7 months afte I got it.

I bought this product last month and it worked great for two weeks. Then it began making a strange, high-pitched beeping that nearly drove me out of my mind whenever it was plugged in. I thought the neighbors fire alarm was going off. It also started getting incredibly hot.

I'm not sure if just mine was defective, since others do seem impressed with this product. I have contacted the company and have asked to be sent a new one...we'll see what happens!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, and my AC adapter quit working for me. I started looking for a replacement, and the prices were all over $50. And when I read reviews for the actual dell product, there were a lot of people who had problems with their adapter. When I found this adapter on Amazon, I was afraid at first to try it, but I am glad that I did. I received it very fast (before the estimated date of arrival), and it worked with my computer without a problem. So, at this time I am very satisfied with my purchase!

I received this adapter today. It is NOT a 90W adapter, as stated in the Technical Details section. Nowhere on the product does it say what the wattage is, and when I plugged it into my Inspiron 9200, my computer warned me that it was a 65W adapter, and that this would cause my computer to run slower and would take longer to charge the battery. I clicked "Okay" to continue using the adapter anyway. In less than a second, the warning message had popped up again, as if I had unplugged the adapter and plugged it back in. This happened continuously so that, after about 15 seconds and 20 attempts to click "Okay," I unplugged the adapter all together.

As others have said, I wish I'd paid more attention to the customer reviews and ratings.

Does not pick up signal/charge on my Inspiron 9200
So far good feedback from AMA - Returning now

Horrible I don't know what is happening but every time I plug it, it disables my mouse and start clicking it. I cannot work wile my computer is charging, I got to disconnect it for working. Please don't buy, you'll regret it.
