Acer Aspire 5742ZG Power Adapter
Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When choosing a new adapter, selecting the Acer OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. The Acer Aspire 5742ZG AC adapter provides two functions, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Major warnings your power adapter will die soon
- Most Acer AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not operate without the battery installed
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge up completely
