It looks like 180Watt.
Manufacturer Part # TW1P0
Dell Part # 450-ABJU
The power supply has a memory chip in it to tell the computer what size it. = ID chip
Be care if you get a use one. Sometime the ID chip is not working. The computer would work or run at a slower speed. And not charge the battery.

If it's 6 months old, Return it A.S.A.P.

Put the CD?DVD in the DVD rom, At boot ,select boot menu, boot from DVD rom.

Good luck

I had to deal with the new power supply. The problem is the went from a two contact plug to a tree connector. They made the power supply with a little smarts. The third pin was serial memory in the that tells the computer what size power supply is connected to the computer. If the power supply is a smaller power supply than came with. At one time they a different size connector for different size power supply. So you can connect a smaller power supply to a larger computer. You can burn out the power supply. The one draw back was if the memory chip died the computer would think the power supply was too small or a third party power supply not made for the computer. I've has two power supply where the chip died and the computer would not charge. I had other computer that use the same power supply and the computer would startup and charge the battery. Also if the computer thinks it had a smaller power supply the computer cut the cpu speed.
I don't know why if it has smaller power supply why it could not just charge the battery and run the computer from the battery.
If can find another power supply to try to see if computer run at all will run.
Another problem was the power supply pin sticks out the side and is easy to hit and break the solder connector contact on the inside.
You need someone that can take computer a part enough to see if the power supply connector was lose on the board.
Volt meter the power. Outside ground, inside +, center pin is the ID pin or memory pin.

I hope this help. I like old power supply. They were simple.

Hi,

There is no number lock key as such, You could either use an external usb keyboard or an on screen keyboard program.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If you go in to my computer and right click on the CD symbol and click eject does it still not eject.

Hi,

I know people who have tried but haven't had much luck. They use a USB capture device in review mode instead but you may get a slight delay on some cheap models but a good quality one is pretty instant.

Hope this helps

Remove main battery, get a stiff toothbrush and clean battery terminal in laptop and prongs on batteries. Install battery and charge, if no change! rechargeable battery needs to be replaced.

disconnect ac power and remove your battery for 5 min and then reinstall it. This happened to me once and that's what fixed it.
