Power Cable and Adapter

SMC_2

I am looking to get a replacement power cable and adapter for an Acer TravelMate Laptop. Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks!!!

A bit like THIS ONE?

Like that but that one is not suitable for the TM 4064 range.

Not able to help specifically, but just to say that my search for a cheaper alternative to a Dell brand adaptor for my Dell laptop proved fruitless and I realised that getting one from the manufacturer was the best deal....

I looked at Acer site but couldn't find anything about buying.

How about this one then?

Thank you!!!! I did look at that site but couldn't find the right one.

Don't think they sell the power cable though, ideally I was wanting to get both from one place, save paying to postage charges but might have to.

I e-mailed Acer and asked them for the manufacturers codes for the adapter and cable, thought if I had the codes it would help me find the right ones.

The replied very quickly but it would have been nice if they bothered to read the e-mail properly, their response was "it sounds like your laptop will need to come in for repair", NO my laptop is fine, I just wish a new adapter and cable!!! :mad:

I have an Acer Aspire 5622 WMLMi that is about four months old and the power supply keeps cutting out. If the laptop is on, it will last about 5 seconds and if it is not (and it's just charging the battery) it will last 5 to 10 minutes. I want to proove that it is the power supply but the ones I can lay my hands on are different voltages.

The one that comes with the laptop is 19V 4.74A. If it is the power supply then I want to send that back only, but I await to see if Acer get funny about doing that, as is SMC's experience.

If you connect a 5 ohm resistor across the PSU it should draw approx 3.8 Amps and put the PSU under load. Measure the voltage across the resistor to check the PSU.

Mine is a 19V 3.42A.

Acer have now replied so that is good. They gave me the e-mail address for spares so have e-mailed it and shall see what response I get.
