Hi. I just want to ask, i have an acer aspire 5920 laptop and my problem is i have a working charger for this but everytime i connect it the lights on the charger turn off so i have to unplug the charger to the laptop and unplug it to the electric plug and plug it again so the lights will turn on again then if i plug it to the laptop again it went off. What do you think the problem of my laptop? By the way thank you in advance if ever someone reply for my problem.

Hi, I need to buy a new adapter for my laptop. The input requirement is 100~220V, 1.7A. I found this adapter with input 100~220v, 1.64A, both output specs are the same. Is this adapter compatible giving the input Amp is lower? thanks.

Hi again. I wish I could edit my first post and merge the three questions into one.
I have one more request. I have a touch pad cable connector/latch broken on my laptop. The touch pad doesn’t work as a result of this. I checked the cable itself and it looks intact with no breakages anywhere.
You have a guide for what to do if the keyboard cable connector is broken but nothing for a touch pad cable connector. Please help me out. Thanks.

After researching some more I think the component might be a diode and not a fuse or resistor. I think it says D1 on it and the power board/usb combo part no. is 446524-001. I appreciate your help.

Hi I have a dv6500 with what looks like a blown fuse on the power connector/board. I went to connect the AC adapter after I got the motherboard out and heard some hissing sound and could smell burning rubber.

So I was wondering if there was a way to replace the tiny black fuse on the power board. It looks burnt and is moving somewhat. If nothing else works I can just order the power board which thankfully isn’t directly connected to the motherboard. But this part is very expensive and I would like to avoid replacing the whole power board if at all possible.

frankie,

i have a c640 with s faulty powerjack
i replaced it with an other one but still no power.
(he powers up with the docking and battery though)
is it a fuse issue? if yes , wich one?

I cannot tell if the problem is related to the fuse or not, but you should search for a fuse located somewhere close to the jack. Test it with a multimeter.

paul wilmarth,

can you use drill bit to remove old jack

I wouldn’t do that. You can damage the motherboard. Use soldering gun instead.
