Gateway 8000 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Gateway adapter, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. The Gateway 8000 power adapter provides two functions, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Gateway has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. Upon choosing a replacement charger, selecting the Gateway OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go.
General warnings of a deteriorating Gateway power adapter
- Your Gateway battery refuses to charge up every time
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Gateway adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
