Asus X501A-RH31 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Asus adapter, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, the actual Asus brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. Because Asus has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Asus X501A-RH31 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Subtle cues to watch for in a failing power adapter
- The unit will not run while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- Most Asus adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
