Just inherited a Dell Insperion PIII (1.2GHz) 15" screen laptop. It works until the battery died. I need a 'brick on a leash' power supply for it.
The Power Supply connector looks like a tiny house shape pentigon with a groove cut in its top joint, and has 3 pin-holes for power connection (simillar in style to the old IBM ThinkPad ones which happens to have 4 holes in theirs). Dell has used this connector for its laptop powersupplies for many years, from I gather their first Pentium laptops (The P100 which I had with the same powersupply connector) to just about recently present date. Strangely, this power connector only goes to their 'Black' laptop collection, which the Inspirion are part off. Newer models that are coloured silver or grey (or other odd ball colours I have seen, red, blue, etc...) have a round connector, of which are not compatible due to its shape and power pin configurations. These powersupplies were used from the PIII to P4 Dells; Dual Core systems have a different connector all together. Goes to show you: Dell Hell in incompatibility in all things within themselves.
Anyone has such an older Dell Laptop powersupply to give or sell cheaply, let me know. Currently my status is $0 until Mid October, but need the leptop running by early September.
Hope things are ok on your end. Thing are steadily but slowly improving over here.
