Need charger for Acer Aspire laptop

Caravan maybe has MCB's etc which are always more sensitive than the old fashioned wired fuses.

If you were using it most of the time with a power supply you might as well get a desktop pc or AIO.

That's a silly argument. I use two computers (1 work, 1 home) and both are laptops that >95% of the time are run on mains power. They are generally used in one place, but quite often taken elsewhere to be used. With a desktop that would be impractical, so laptops are by far the best solution.

Quite right it does, yet last 5 years no problem, only started doing it recently. Could MCB be too sensitive or have gone faulty?

It's not a "charger", it's a power supply.

"Laptop" is a marketing buzz word for portable computer, unlike a phone or a tablet, battery power is not it's normal state, it should be used with the power supply whenever possible.

Agreed ...


However i would be a bit skeptical of any ebay sellers claims of genuine electronics.
If it were me peronally id either buy an original from acer themselves or perhaps get a "one for all" from your local computer shop for around 15 squid.
