The Dell NX061 AC Adapter Strikes? Check its Output
As the long time usage of the dell laptop, its ac adapter maybe the easiest to getting broken or have some problems. In fact, if a power adapter ceases to work as it's supposed to, checking its output can tell you whether the problem lies with the adapter or elsewhere. What's more, once we buy a new ac adapter, we could also check its output to see if it is full output as described. Generally speaking, with a multi-meter, we could check the laptop ac adapter as well as other power adapters (such as for mobile phone etc) very convenient
Here are the steps I used for testing my Dell NX061 AC Adapter output:
First of all, I would It is unplug the Dell NX061 AC Adapter from the laptop. Let it cool down. Leave it plugged into its power source. This step is very necessary and important to every aspect related to laptop check or replacement.
Secondly, I would find the detailed input and output information on the power adapter. 19.5V 3.34A , which is the output of Dell NX061 AC adapter. This is normally found on a thicker, non-cord part of the adapter. Next to the word "Output," you will see a number with a "V" beside it. That's the output in volts. Make note of this number. Near the output information, you'll also see a diagram that shows which part of the plug is negative and which is positive. With most, the inside of the plug is positive, but be sure to check because sometimes this varies.
Then and the most important step: check the multi-meter's manual for instructions on how to set the multi-meter to the appropriate voltage( which should fit with the output of the power adapter you tested). The method varies between brands of multi-meter. Touch the probes of your multi-meter to the appropriate locations on the power adapter's plug. One probe should be inside the plug; the other should be touching its exterior.
After the above steps, just read the voltage shown on the multi-meter's screen. It should be close to the number you made note of in Step 2. For my Dell NX061 ac adapter, it should near or same to 19.5v 3.34a. If it's too far off, there must be a problem. So the only thing you could do is trying to purchase a new power adapter as soon as possible.
Addition: lots of dell ac adapter have the same output, such as Dell PA-21 AC Adapter(19.5V 3.34A).

Whats a low temperature adapter?
I just bought an Acu-Rite wireless weather station (model 00592w) that tells me the outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity levels. It came with a wire that plugs into the side of the outdoor wireless sensor and it says on the front of the manual that its a "low temperature adapter" and i don't exactly know what it does and if it's necessary to plug into the outdoor sensor. The wire is about 12 feet long and it has a probe at the end. If anyone can at least tell me what it does because the manual says NOTHING about it. Please help!
Some of these temperature sensors will stop working in very cold weather...or may even be damaged by extremely cold weather. Exactly how cold will depend on the instrument. If you are expecting very cold temperatures, you may want to take the remote sensor inside or into some type of shelter that will keep it warmer during the period of time and connect the wired sensor probe into the remote. Then put sensor probe outside so that it will continue to collect temperate readings during this period of very cold temperatures.
I would try to contact Acu-Rite and see what at what temperature would recommend that you should bring the remote inside and just use the wired sensor probe.
-- Update: ---
In response to the answer given by drsandradeepsb, I just checked the two links given by drsandradeepsb and this was what I found.
First link goes to a web site that explains the use of "a low temperature adapter that is used for Infrared Aiming Light atached to MOUNTING BRACKET of a M72 ROCKET LAUNCHER..
Second link goes to a question and answer web site where somebody posted a question about an Acu-Rite clock radio that included a low temperature sensor. As far as I can tell, nobody posted a reply answer to this question.
