I just got a replacement charger for my Acer 3000 and its not really working well i can say.it charges the laptop just enough to keep it on, but when you remove it , not even pull it out but just when i make any kind of movement of the cord, it shuts off. the icon says that its at 0% charging when ive been charging it for a while. i also noticed that it got extremely hot the stick on the back of it even started bubbling up. so i thought maybe its the charger let me return it, but when i used the charger to charge up an older laptop, it worked just fine it was still on even after i took it out. so now i dont know if its the inside of the laptop or the charger? the laptop is an acer 3002lciand it was pretty new never had any problems that i know off.
That's stupid. You should return the charger for a better one. All chargers should be able to charge it and let the laptop stay on for at least an hour without charging (if starting at 100%). Or maybe your charger was just broken or something was wrong when you bought it). My dog chewed up my laptop charger and my parents were so mad. Most chargers will cost at least $50 but my mom went to a far place (not too far, but she had to go on the freeway) to buy a $20 something charger. It works great! :D When you put the charger back in, does it have to start all over at 0% or does it continue? For example, let's say it was at 88% when charging. Then you took out the charger and it was 0% and the laptop shut down. Try putting it back in. Does it start from 0% and increase, or does it start at 88% again? Hope I helped and I hope you fix/get a better charger. :)
If the charger was made for use of the newer laptop, and you have not done anything to damage it, I believe they will replace it for you. Or just use it for the older one.
