Acer Aspire 5738G Power Adapter
Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Acer Aspire 5738G power adapter provides two functions, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, choosing the Acer brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate.
What red flags are there that my power adapter has to be replaced?
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
- Most Acer AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up at all
