Acer Extensa 5430 Power Adapter
Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Acer Extensa 5430 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When choosing a new charger, choosing the Acer brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. If buying off-brand, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my power adapter has gone bad?
- Most Acer adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge at all
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
