Gateway M500 Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Gateway OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Due to the fact that one Gateway adapter is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the M500 model. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Gateway M500 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
Elements of a laboring AC adapter
- Most Gateway adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not function using just the AC power adapter
- Your Gateway battery refuses to charge up all the time
