Acer Aspire 5738DG Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Acer Aspire 5738DG power adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Acer brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
Important signs your AC adapter is failing
- Most Acer AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not function while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge up every time
