Acer Aspire A517-51 Power Adapter
The Acer Aspire A517-51 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Acer OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
Main clues the Acer power adapter will not last the year
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge every time
- The laptop does not function using just the AC power adapter
- Most Acer adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
