    I need another power adapter for my dell m1530. The adapter i have now is a PA-10 (90W), so if i go on ebay and find another PA-10 will it work? I know it sounds like a dumb question but i just want to make sure before i buy one.

    thanks, josh

    Check the DC voltage (V), the DC current (A) and the plug which fits the computer.

    It should work.
