Great replacement for Laptop

Was what I needed

REASONABLE PRICE AND SO FAR IT'S WORKING

I have a Dell Inspiron 11 3147 and it has been my favorite laptop for the last 3 years. I misplaced my old charger but my wife had an XPS 13 with a similar charger. Everything was fine. Not long after that, the charger stopped working, giving me an error saying that it can't charge due to being an incorrect adapter. It did allow me to use the laptop if it is always plugged in but giving me errors every minute saying it was the wrong adapter. That dance went on for a year and I got tired of it. So I abandoned the laptop in the corner of my house. I searched through all the forums to see if there a solution, but all methods didn't work. I've tried other adapters but they also didn't work. I decided to try a leap of faith and purchased this adapter and long and behold, it is charging and no errors. Finally I am able to use my laptop again. Thank you.

I don't know how many replacement AC power adapters I've been through for my aging Dell laptop, but this is the first one I've bought in recent memory that hasn't failed within the first couple of months (hoping I haven't just jinxed myself!). It appears that the "unrecognized AC adaptor type" error message others have described in their reviews is a commmon one with these computers but I find it only happens to me if this adapter comes partially out of its jack. As soon as I push it back in all the way, the warning message disappears and the battery continues charging. I suspect this is a much better replacement adapter than the ones I've bought previously from another company through Amazon ...and I paid quite a bit less for it too. We'll see how it's still performing after a few months, but so far so good!!

It works ok

I needed a 65W AC power supply for a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 laptop that I purchased online. I came right over to Amazon, looked for a replacement, and ordered this adapter. I received the power supply a couple of days later. It was exactly what I needed and works like a charm. As soon as I connected the power supply, I was able to complete Microsoft's Recovery procedure to delete any data left from the previous owner, and refresh the operating system. While it was doing that, the adapter charged the Inspiron's battery giving me the choice to use it on battery power or on AC power.

Description is very misleading. AC adapter is identical looking to Dell adapter but is not compatible if your want the battery to hold a charge. I almost replaced the battery thinking it was bad. After $75 in computer diagnostics the overheating, "bad battery", or rainbow screen and beeping were all caused by THIS adapter. DELL has a special limiter sensor in all their computers that will only accept specifically DELL adapters. Please don't steer people wrong. THIS IS NOT A DELL charger, it is a fake, does not charge, just powers and causes other issues.
