From: RnR on 21 Jul 2010 06:20 Does anyone have the original power adapter (inverter) for this model Dell and can tell me what the power adapter model number is? I'm guessing like a PA-12 or PA-13 but that's pure guess no basis of fact. Thanks.

Ben Myers Thanks Ben. My daughter has it not me so I'm already asking her for a cell phone pic which she can email back to me. Then I will know what I'm looking for. I was guessing a PA-12 or 13 and looking at one source on Dell doesn't tell me the model tho they say it will work with that laptop.... but their prices are high of course compared to others. Ebay is cheap but I think their bricks are probably low quality too. I was hoping someone else had a 1420 and could tell me faster than my daughter.

Ben Myers Got my daughter's great pic and it says PA-10 family; 90 Watt; model # LA90PS0-00. I can read more but unless it's important, I think you get the idea.

My daughter has a PA-10 (90 watt) and she says it's going. I'm taking her word so I ordered a cheap priced Ebay adapter for her so we'll see how that goes. |
