Gateway Solo 5150 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Gateway adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Gateway brand is the best one to choose. The Gateway Solo 5150 power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Gateway uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Some warnings your AC adapter has to be replaced
- The majority of Gateway power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Gateway battery refuses to charge up every time
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
