Dell G15 (5510)

On the Dell website it says has one option that says 240W (the one I was using is 180.0 W) is compatible with mine but for $140 I want to be 100%

Also my old one shocked the shit out of me because it was frayed and I had no idea so I want to be 1000% sure so I don’t get accidentally shocked again.

    A LTT video recently mentioned, often it’s cheaper to buy a broken laptop that uses the same charging cord just for the cord than to buy the charging cable directly. But there’s always some hassle second hand even if it is much cheaper.

      $140 sounds absurd for just a charger. I’d definitely buy secondhand and maybe off-brand.

        A quick google search gives me options for €40/€50. But I don’t know if they match exactly.

          If they don’t match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.
