Gateway P-79 Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Gateway adapter powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the P-79 model. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Gateway brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Gateway P-79 AC adapter provides two functions, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, please check on both the volts and amps outputs.
Clues to watch for in a failing AC adapter
- Most Gateway adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not work while just using AC power
- Your Gateway battery refuses to charge completely
