wolfy, you are so darn logical!!! LOL To charge the battery. Which reminds me how sad for my son, his really cool computer won't keep a charge so he is stuck, too.

Yes, a power plug, the cord that would charge the battery, give direct current. I can not even turn it on right now to see what comes up.

It's a Dell, and, when I searched with the serial # on thier site, it says she bought it about a year ago. So, parts shouldn't be impossible to find but I am hoping not to have to pay full price as my whole deal is a lap top isn't in my budget.

What is the model number?

MouseWife · 08-05-2009, 02:59 PM

Andrew~ the model number is T-6836.

Does that sound familiar? Oh, and looking at it, it is a Gateway, not a Dell.

Alex · 08-05-2009, 03:12 PM

No idea as to quality or AC Adapter scams, but you can buy an AC adapter for that model on eBay for $9.

MouseWife · 08-05-2009, 03:18 PM

Wow, thanks, Alex!! You've saved me a lot! She said they were about $60 and that was too much.

Thanks!

I will follow the link and see what I can do. Thanks again!

Andrew · 08-05-2009, 04:00 PM

That's why I wanted to know; AC adapters are pretty easy to find, but they tend to be specific to one model or sometimes a range of models from a single manufacturer so you need to make sure you get the right one. Good luck!

Especially with Dell laptops. Oops, just read backwards, much better with a Gateway I would suppose. My bad!

MouseWife · 08-05-2009, 05:50 PM

Thanks, that is why I was concerned a bit. I don't want to go through the company as they are more pricey. I don't mind generic.

LOL I hope a Gateway is better, at least in this case. Of course, had it said Dell, I'd have hoped in that case. :0)

I have a Senseo coffee maker that is yours for the taking. Must take it soon or it's going to be donated.

OOOOH! Is that one of those "pod" machines? If so, I've been wanting one for a long time now!
