Some Dell Power Supplies for your laptop can suffer from compatibility issues. When you change the Laptop Adapter you may receive a different version or type. These may not be recognised by the laptop when you plug it in due to the different specifications of the adapter. This is common problem and can sometimes be fixed by doing a software update by visiting the official Dell website. This won’t be possible though if you have no battery charge left in your laptop.
The easiest and best way to source a compatible power supply is to select one by the part number. These are usually displayed on the label of the charger in the small print. Look out for Dell PA-1650-05D2 Power Supply or something similar to help you to identify the part. Buying this way skips out the potential hassle of having to return a product which is not compatible or is not recognised by the laptop. This also ensures your laptop charger will last the longest time possible.
