My replacement 1647 just got here, how do I know if the power supply is a 130W or a 90W?

[Bowlerguy92]

Well my original was an M1530 which was then replaced by the SXPS1640 which is now replaced with the SXPS1647.

Well, if you had an xps 1640, you would have the slim 90w power adapter to compare it to, the 130w is quite a bit bigger all around, it looks just like the 90w, but beefy

Well, I just called Dell again today, just cause I am a pain in the , I talked to another agent and they finally created a dispatch for me today to swap out the WLED that was sent with my laptop with a White RGB LED screen to match what I currently have. I'll post pictures tomorrow night when I receive the laptop, I was told that it is brand new also, so we will see what happens.


If any of you need to know how to do a screen swap, I can also post pictures of that too, since I have done it like 10 times already :S

Oh, and I need to buy some AS5 tonight to throw on the computer much like I did with the last one.

90W -Pa3e

Ya it comes up as 90W in the bios so I went online and talked to a representative and had a 130W sent out, took probably three minutes they are very quick about it. I have the RGB LED 1080p screen. It looks frigan beautiful.

Well dell sent out the wrong replacement AC adapter...a tiny 65w brick, the correct item was on the packing list, they just put the wrong part in the box.
The 130w AC is being resent and should be here in a couple of days.

However, overnight the 90w AC adapter PA-3E has developed electrical buzzing/high frequency noises, I could notice the noise before i opened my laptop with the AC adapter about 2 feet away, the high frequency noise increases when the laptop is on and drawing more power, should i be worried about it

Well, today is the day. I will post pictures of my replacement setup when I get home from work!
