Looks like Dell is recalling a ton of A/C adapters. I heard about this but assumed I wasn't affected. I was wrong. If you have a Dell laptop, check out the URL above.

Not mine, but I gave an old one to my brother and I can't remember the model. Sending him the link - thanks

BTW, shouldn't Dell be contacting customers about this?? That domain also isn't owned by Dell?

I'm not affected by this but you would think that del would just send an email and or a postcard to each of those who have this problem...

Thanks for the heads up.

Mine is affected, I filled out the form. They seem to be sending one.. they dont want the old one back.. arent you supposed to return the defective part on a recall?

I dunno either. Maybe the new one will come with instructions.

Here's a link to where I found the story if anyone wants to do some more reading.
