The surfaces that have gold plating are already normally conductive. Gold plating is used to make them less likely to oxidize and therefore work better for a longer time. The item works very well.

not sure on dell, I have an HP envy. Seem although HP offered the same unit all the provided did not work. Was able to work with Targus to finally get the correct plug. Based on my experience with Targus they want you to be satisfied and will work to no end.

I just pulled up on it but don't do this with the unit plugged in. That is how it shorted out for me. Good luck.

what's the certification on your power supply? (80+ bronze, silver, gold, etc..), 750 should be more than enough by far, but if the power supply unit is sketchy then it could be not performing anywhere near what it theoretically should be. also, anti-surge could be related to your electrical setup, what do you have the tower plugged into? does it trip the circuit breaker or does only your tower shut off?

I have seen that before and suggest you call Dell. It is not a usual problem

Sorry, I don't know. I contacted Dell to find out what replacement I needed. Try doing that first.

If your dell has a lightning port like a mac. This is only for macbook pros. Look at VGA cords.

It said it didn't need power but it has a plug-in port for power. Of course it didn't come with a power supply and more importantly - it didn't work at all! I have a Mac with 2 traditional monitors and one tablet monitor. I need to switch which 2 are in operation depending on what I'm doing. I got a Kinivo 301BN after the Apogee failure. It has more ports than and need and cost more than the Apogee but I'd rather pay $30 for something that works than $12 for a piece of garbage. FYI - the Kinivo needs power.

The Dell computer I installed it into only had a bit above 2 Ghtz of power and it had no problem operating with that low a source so anything you have above 2 Ghtz will work fine.

As long as your Dell laptop has a standard American-type plug, it shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind, though, that these devices are adaptors, not voltage regulators. Other countries typically operate on 240, rather than 120, voltage, so you need to have some kind of voltage regulator. All my Apple products have them built in--look at the fine print on your plug to see if it does the same thing.

I am sorry but I don't know. Have you called Dell? I am sure they can figure it out.

Go to the Dell website and under parts and accessories there is an option to type the service tag in. It should be fairly accurate, though it gave me the wrong part number.

No it shorts out. And it will not fully charge. I've tried multiple USB cords as well.

Unfortunately, I had basically the same problem, so I returned it, but I don't know if mine is related to yours because mine was for a Dell.

Sorry!!! I don't have that problem. My DELL is Inspiron 1505 and the charger works fine.

You can put a retail PSU in it rather than having to buy the Dell replacement. Mine has the 305W, but you can put in anything bigger, especially if you want to add a video card or plug in several USB powered devices.

You will most likely need to update the power supply. Be weary that dell supports small power supplies and graphics cards in their cases.
