If your possessor has a fan (I'm assuming it does) then replacing that would be a good idea, as well as replacing any fans in the case just because there cheap, and they do wear out.

I wouldn't bother calling Dell,.. If you can easily get it local then you can get a higher power one (If you run these things at less than 100% capacity they last longer), and save yourself the shipping costs.

Actually,.. Check with Dell to see how much it is,.. and go with the cheapest option


would this work?

ok check the link in your post/quote I messed up on the stupid laptop

Probably, but without looking at your power supply and that one side by side I can't be sure,.. the one you linked is a very standard power supply. If yours looks like that one, and has normal motherboard connectors then yeah, it should work.

But first look at the sticker on yours and find out what the total wattage is,.. it will tell you. The new power supply needs to be the same or more.

I would recommend going to a store that has these and physically comparing them just to be sure,.. but if you don't I guess you could always send it back if it doesn't work.

I'm finally feeling better enough that I feel like I can carry a small fire extinguisher around a race track,.. So I'm cooking dinner in a hurry and heading off!
