Acer Aspire 5520 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Acer Aspire 5520 AC adapter has two main uses, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Acer OEM charger is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
What happens when my Acer power adapter is failing?
- Most Acer adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge up whatsoever
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
