If you are thinking about supplying the correct current and voltage, that won't work too well. This model like many Dell models has a ROM chip (a third wire in the plug - center pin) inside of the AC adapter. This ROM has nothing to do with the AC adapter itself. Although the laptop reads it before it passes the self test. And without the ROM, the best you can hope for is it might power the laptop, but the battery won't charge. At worst, it won't do anything at all. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) Centrino Core Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

Take a look he http://tinyurl.com/47nbkvc For just a few dollars you can get a battery charger made for his Dell M1210. Choose a vendor in your state, e-mail them and ask if they can rush one out. I don't know anything about a rom chip inside, but I bought three such "after-market" laptop battery chargers for my Dell for $9 ea and they work just fine. He should get some backups and leave one with you! Also, call around to a few computer supply stores, like a Fry's Electronics. They may carry replacement chargers. Radio Shack has a universal charger that is supposed to work with many different laptops but it costs $65: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...uctId=11278738. -- Peter Greenstein http://www.wakefieldjazz.com/ |

Here's a power adapter for an XPS M1210 for $25 that the seller in New Jersey claims is a Dell part: http://laptopsparesonline.com/produc...er-p26526.html I have had very good experience with Power Brixx in North Carolina - good prices and genuine Dell parts - but their website seems to be undergoing maintenance at the moment: www.PowerBrixx.com *TimDaniels* |
