Picked up a used Alienware m15. The guy threw in a weak power adapter—it said Dell on it, so I didn't think twice about whether it was actually an OEM part. It was only 90W (19V, 4.74A). After a week, it died.
Now I'm hunting for a proper 150W adapter, which is what the authorized service center told me this model actually requires.
Does anyone happen to have one they’re willing to sell? The connector size is 5.5mm outer x 2.7mm inner diameter.
Also, could using such an underpowered adapter have damaged the laptop? It shut down several times while I was gaming, clearly because it couldn't pull enough juice. 😢
Naturally, the previous owner is washing his hands of the whole thing.
