Acer Aspire 5542 Power Adapter
Because Acer uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Acer Aspire 5542 AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Acer OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, make note of the output of amps and voltage. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary.
Simple signals your AC adapter has little time left
- The unit will not work using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge at all
- Most Acer AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
