Hi,

I work for Dell's Social Media Team. The AC adapter port is fixed directly to the motherboard. So you will need to replace the motherboard itself.

To prevent this AC adapter from being used on a different system, the connector was changed to an octagonal shape. This connector only fits the Inspiron 1545. However, it is possible to use standard 65-watt and 90-watt adapters with the typical barrel-shaped connector on this system.

Thank you.
