Toshiba Portege R500 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. Due to the fact that one Toshiba adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain you select the correct one for the Portege R500 model. The Toshiba Portege R500 AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When choosing a new charger, choosing the Toshiba brand one is the best one to choose. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate.
Main clues the power charger is in dire straights
- Most Toshiba AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not run using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge up all the time
