Acer Aspire 5517 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Acer OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. The Acer Aspire 5517 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. A universal power adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my power adapter is failing?
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Acer AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge up completely
