M1330 power adapters

Are the standard PA10 and PA12 adapters which come with the latitudes, etc, compatible with the M1330? I'm aware that they have a different shaped plug but I've heard a suggestion that the round-plug PA10 and 12 can in fact be used with the M1330.

    Dave,

    If the laptop end of the plug is round for the Inspirions and your M1330, then: 

    I would check the specs on your M1330 power adapter in the Dell label on the adapter ie watts, voltage, amps against those of the Latitudes.

    Below, are the specs on a 3 prong power adapter that I got from Dell to replace the 2 prong that came with my M1530.  The 2 prong put a small current thru the keyboard area (known as the M1530 Tingle problem); the 3 prong eliminated the Tingle.

     

    Here are the Dell part numbers from the Dell Label on the adapter just below the DellLogo:PA-10 Family

    Model DA90PS2-00

    Dell Part Number UU572

    Ref. No. ADP-90AH FA

    Output: 19.5v, 4.62a.

    And then the number below the bar code on the white label:

    CN-OUU572-48661-79S-085RREV A00 

     

    Power Cord:Dell Part Number UY685

    And then the number below the bar code

    CN-0UY685-50582-78S-05RTREV A00

    I had the same Q once, here's the reply I received:

     

    The XPS M1330 uses a slim 65 W AC adapter. The plug that connects to the unit is designed to only fit the XPS M1330. The AC adapter cannot be used on other systems. However, a standard Dell 65 W or 90 W adapter with the barrel-shaped connector works fine on this system, as does the travel adapter.
