    Guys, my r1 power adapter died, it just worms up and doesn't charge. Could you help me with search on ebay for original adapter for our laptop? All i see is just some crappy copies.

    Seach for dells "auto/air charger"

    its the same as the stock m11x one, but its way way smaller, has a 12v car plug, long and short cables, and airplane plugs too.

    It only works for the r1 though as its only 65watts.

    its probably just the male end(the dingy that sticks into the laptop), i have this problem on ALL laptops, i just cut the wire a bit and resolder it to the plug, some hot glue and its good for another year of wear and tear.

    I have this charger: WallMAX Laptop Charger - Laptops at iGo, Inc.

    Its been working for a year no problems so far. I have more than one laptop to charge, so its much more versatile than the original charger. Also it has a two-prong plug so I can charge on more outlets
