   I ordered this for the Dell Latitude D600 – and it doesn’t work with that model. I noticed when it arrived that it was a little larger than the one that came with the laptop, but tried it anyway. An error popped up on my desktop “adapter could not be identified, battery will not charge”. A similar comes up on boot.

   I refurbish and repair all the Dell systems for my company and see there a lot of complaints on the PA-12.

   1) before purchasing an AC Adapter for you dell notebook look at back and it will tell you what adapters you can use PA-10/PA-12 some notebooks can use both.

   2) the PA-10 has a higher amp rating than the PA-12 therefore if you want your notebook to charge faster and your notebook is compatible with both get the PA-10. Since this is most likely what shipped with your computer. You can also look at your old adapter.

   3) Original DELL Adapters are a beater choice over the OEM one’s for 2 reasons. A) the connectors are inter changeable with your pre-existing one sometimes the cord from the wall to the adapter gets damaged and good to keep if it good. B) I find that the original adapters have less issues, yes there are some OEM adapters that are good but those are usually more expensive.

   I hope this helps dell users in purchasing the correct adapter for their notebook.

   Be careful! I have a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop, which this is being advertising as working with. But I looked at the label included in the photo here and compared to my Dell AC adaptor. The model #s are different, but more importantly, the specs are different. Both are AC: 100-240 V; 1.5 A. Both are DC: 19.5 V. BUT…mine is DC: 4.62 A (amps) and the adaptor for sale here is 3.34 A (amps). I believe that could cause significant damage to your laptop. It was very good of the seller to include the photos, but this does not fit an inspiron 600m–at least not one sold in May 2004. Perhaps newer or older inspiron models do use this adaptor. If all the specs match your laptop, then at least you can’t hurt your computer (I think…); the only remaining problem is whether or not it fits.

   I am very disappointed in the quality of this product. This is my 3rd A/C adapter purchased in the last 2 1/2 years. I purchased my A/C adapter in August and is now completely dead. I wish that I was an informed customer when purchasing this product. I guess that saying is true “you get what you pay for”…I would not waste my time or money on this product.

   I ordered an adapter 6 weeks ago. The adapter did fit my Dell inspiron. I ordered a new battery at about the same time from a different company. The battery so far is fine, and the adapter worked at first (I could get almost 3 hrs out of my laptop with the combo), but now is not working. If I switch adapters, the laptop does charge, so it is not the laptop or the laptop battery. Laptop will no longer charge on the PA12 adapter I purchased 6 wk ago. I’m checking to see if there is a refund or warranty on this product.
