Acer TravelMate 5230 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. When choosing a new charger, selecting the Acer OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. The Acer TravelMate 5230 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. Because Acer uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the TravelMate 5230 model. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to.
How do you know when your power adapter needs replacing?
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Acer AC adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
