Acer TravelMate 5730 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Acer brand will probably be the safest way to go. The Acer TravelMate 5730 power adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. If buying off-brand, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Major clues your AC adapter will have to be replaced
- Most Acer AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
