Acer Aspire 5100 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Acer OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Acer Aspire 5100 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
How do you know if your charger is almost going bad?
- Most Acer AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The unit will not function while just using AC power
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge up completely
