PA-3E Dell 90W Slimline Latitude, Inspiron, Precision, Studio, Vostro and XPS Laptop AC Adapters

PA-3E Dell Slim 90W AC Dell recently started using slimline ac power adapters for the more current notebooks requiring a 90W laptop ac adapter. The most recognizable part no. would definitely have to be the PA-3E family. The PA-3E is the genuine replacement to previous dell PA-10 and is still compatible in models like the latitude, precision, vostro, studio and XPS which require 90 watts. The only difference is the newer one's are slim, about half the size of the dell's last laptop ac adapter.

After much research and getting confirmation by Dell, these PA-3E can go under any of these part numbers: PA-3E, PA3-E, WK890, Y807G, 330-1826, Y808G, 330-1825, 330-1828, D094H, 330-1827, C120H, CM889, FA90PE1-00, DA90PE1-00, ADP-90VH B, WK890.

On a original dell laptop ac adapter you will find the following specs: Voltage: 19.5V and output power 90W ~ 4.62A. *Most of the notebooks using this part number require a unique 3-prong type of power cord which is supplied with the part when you purchase it from any company.*

Here is a more extensive list of compatible notebook computers that can use the PA-3E:
Dell Latitude E4200, E4300, E5400, E5500, E6400, E6400 ATG, E6500, XT2, XT2 XFR series. The Dell Precision M2400, M4400 and Dell Studio XPS13, 15, 1535, 1536, 1537, 1555, 17, 1735, 1737 series. Also don't leave out the Dell Vostro 1310, 1400, 1500, 1510, 1700, 1710 and Dell XPS M1210, M1330, M140 laptops.

  12. Hello laptop ac adapter, I did something really stupid. On my portable adapter that is powered by a 90W… I plugged in a 65W power adapter that fit and did work but now it will not work anymore. Is there any way I can fix it? My uncle said something about a fuse probably being blown due to the 65W being overused and could of overheated? He wants me to go to radio shack and rebuild my current laptop ac adapter which I don’t think is safe personally. After seeing how buying a new power supply is less than $20, do you think I should just get a new 90W or save the few bucks and try to fix the 65W?

    Is he or myself on the right track? If not, can you point me in the right direction.

    Thanks so much.

  13. Bryon,

    100% just buy a new genuine brand AC for the $20. The 65W died because your laptop needs 90W to run at factory standards and using the 65W just put too much strain on it which caused it to overheat and burnout. Never use a lower wattage then what originally came with your machine. You are lucky no fire started or damage was done to the laptop.

    If you try to fix your old 65W, even if you manage to get it working… it will burn out again within a few hours of use and could cause a fire or perm damage to your laptop this time. Which part number do you need or for what model laptop?
