Acer TravelMate 420 Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, selecting the Acer OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. The Acer TravelMate 420 power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and powering the laptop. If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. Due to the fact that one Acer adapter is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
Some clues of an unhealthy AC adapter
- The unit will not function while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge at all
- Most Acer AC adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
