The N4010 uses a 65-watt AC adapter for Integrated video and a 90-watt AC adapter for discrete video    You will need to upgrade the Adapter to 90w
Hello, I am using an Inspiron 14R (n4010) laptop. It has an i3-390m CPU, 2x2GB ddr3 (1333mhz, 1.5v) and an intel integrated graphics. Current motherboard model number DA0UM8MB6E0 rev.E. Power supply is 65 W (19.5V, 3.34 A). I want to upgrade the laptop's motherboard and ram. The intended motherboard model number is DAUMBCMB8C0 rev.C, which has ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650m (1gb gpu ram). I will upgrade the ram to 8Gb (2x4GB ddr3, 1333mhz, 1.5v). I want to ask if the existing power supply (65W) will be sufficient for the upgraded parts? if not, what should be the suitable power?
