Review on πŸ’‘ Dell 130-Watt 3-Prong AC Adapter: Powerful & Reliable with 6 ft Power Cord by Erik Peterson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not a Dell charger - a cheap fake with a "Dell " sticker on it

The power supply I received was not the one in the picture and was not part of Dell. The part looked, felt and weighed completely different than the original power supply but had the same part number on the sticker. The sticker also lacked a UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification. What manufacturer ever skimps on UL certification for a part sold in the US? I can't say it's 100% fake without taking it apart, but I'll let you decide. the fake block on the left which has the same model and part markings. Note the cheap-looking LED that protrudes from the device instead of the sleek recessed LED found on the Dell 90W adapters (DP/N: YD9W8). It's fake in my opinion - A poor quality charger can drain your computer's battery, so I'd stay away from this suspicious adapter.
