My Dell Mini Forum

reundo · **Charger Light not Working -** 05-20-2011, 03:52 AM

So I am new on the forum, but I have used it in the past to install osx on my dell mini and look at other tips. The other day I notice the light on my charger stopped working randomly. It still charges my battery and the indicator on the netbook still works. Is there something I can do to fix the light on the charger? Is this normal?

Thanks

BUMP, no one else has had this problem? Is it common?

if its for a 1010, its a couple of years old and yes I have heard of it happening before, short of replacing the adapter there is nothing else you can do......

Happened to mine also.

Thats what I wanted to know. I have barely used it and the light just stopped working one day. I guess thats why the netbooks are so cheap.

While I think the LED on the power plug is a nice feature, I wouldn't worry much about it if the charger still charged OK. But new chargers are available on Ebay for $20 or so shipped, so if it really bothers you, that might be an option. This guy has many of them, $20 incl shipping...oem Dell

re: the above ebay link......They are USED......NOT NEW

but I guess what do you expect for $20 shipped

Count yourself lucky. My 1010 is so old (2009) the charger that came with it; NEVER had a Led light to even go out. haha; fdalbor

you got ripped off, I got mine in Jul/Aug of '09 and mine had one and it STILL works fine.....

Hate to say this; but mine came from Wal Mart; they probably had Dell make some extra special cheaper ones without a Led light to save a extra 75 cents. fdalbor
