Gateway M305 Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Gateway adapter is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Gateway M305 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Gateway OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs.
Major symptoms your laptop charger is going out
- Most Gateway adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
