Gateway M520 Power Adapter
The Gateway M520 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. Due to the fact that one Gateway adapter is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, choosing the Gateway brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Clues to watch for to know your AC adapter will have to be replaced
- Most Gateway adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Gateway battery refuses to charge up completely
- The unit will not work while just using AC power
