Acer TravelMate 2490 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, choosing the Acer brand one will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. Due to the fact that one Acer adapter is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. The Acer TravelMate 2490 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Important clues of a weak Acer power adapter
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge all the time
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Most Acer AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
