I have many Dell AC adapters with the affected part # 's and are not made by Delta Electronics, but made by ASTEC in China. These adapters are ok. If you want to check this please call the 1-800 number to Dell to confirm your adapter is secure. You will need to read the last twelve digits of the barcode label adapter. The website also has a form to enter information and generate demand for a new Dell AC adapter.
