Acer Aspire 5242 Power Adapter
The Acer Aspire 5242 AC adapter has two main uses, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, the actual Acer brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. Because Acer uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output.
What red flags are there that my laptop charger is about to go out?
- The unit will not run while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge up every time
- Most Acer adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
