    Hi guys,
    A quick question for those of you who exchanged their 2-prong charger for a 3-prong one because of the "touch of god" feeling :D
    I just placed a replacement order for mine, and this is what is listed in my order:


    1 DF266 Assembly,Adapter,Alternating Current,90W,M07,Lead Free Liteon
    1 DF771 CORD,Power,125,1M,C7, 2P Dual,United States


    Are these the correct parts?
    My current 2-prong adapter has the same part number DP/N DF266, but it is revision A04, looks like the replacement is rev. M07, but the cord listed is 2P Dual - to me it looks like 2 prong :mad:


    Thank you,

    call them back they gonna send you another 2 prong.. i had the exact same problem and they sent me a 2 prong adapter and i had to phone them up next day, they corrected the problem and now i have a 3 prong and a 2 prong ac adapter... it seems that you were talking to some idiot agent..

    when i called the first time the agent dispatched me this \
    ASSY,ADPT,AC,90W,CR,DLTA,2P,WW $18.00

    then i called em back and then send me another dispatch and it was right... make sure they send you these parts.

    1 CORD,PWR,125V,2.5A,1M,C5,D,US $9.00
    1 ASSY,ADPT,AC,90W,CR,DLTA,3P,WW $40.00

    Oh, it costs $40.00 even though you're getting shocked by your xps? I thought it'd be under warranty for a 'defective' product.

    It costs $0, it is just showing up on your order page with the price tag, but total stays $0.

    There are multiple 3-prong adapters that work with the M1530. I exchanged my 2-prong for this 3-prong kit:

    1 F2951 Kit,Cord,Flat,3F,D3W/3P Proposition 65,United States
    1 U7809 Assembly,Adapter,Alternating Current,90W,Lead Free,Liteon

    It works great.

    Well, they already shipped the wrong adapter, and I placed a replacement order for that one. Still waiting on the actual order number show up on my account.

    I received the "replacement" this afternoon, opened the box, sealed and sent it right back.
    Thanks for the part numbers.

    They are stupid for not putting 3 prongs on in the first place. They should send out gift cards or something what happens if some one has a pace maker and they get shocked?

    Looks like I am getting the right parts now:
    1 UU572 Assembly,Adapter,Alternating Current,90W,Cost Reduced,Delta- Ac Adapt,3P,World Wide $9.65
    1 UY685 Cord,Power,125V,2.5A,1M,C5 Dual,United States $10.99


    I like Dell's pricing - the original adapter and the cable that I was quoted for was 69.98 :confused:
