Look( with the flashlight) In the center of it.There should be little pin like conductor (straight piece of wire, something that looks like center of RGB cable TV connector) My was bent to the side.Take a pin and make it straight again. Also, with the same pin clean the center hole of your computer power port. (it might have become obstructed by plastic, due to the center conductor not going properly into it). Don’t forget to kill the power before you do anything with the power adapter.

(I am not computer literate so cant do stuff inside machine and my last comp died cause dell update didnt say was going to do things to BIOS and I got nervous when saw that happening turned it off and my comp completley died) Thanks

They had to spend EXTRA MONEY to do this. In doing so, they need to make back the cost of all of those extra non-standard parts. So they blackmail you to buy DELL replacement parts. Their computers could easily work with other adapters. DC voltage is not that complicated. But Dell wants you to believe that somehow a non-Dell 12V DC supply with enough amperage is not “quality Dell parts”.
