Toshiba Satellite A500 Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Toshiba OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Because Toshiba uses one power charger that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Toshiba Satellite A500 power adapter has two main uses, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to.
Elements to watch for in a bad power adapter
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- Most Toshiba adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
