subject: Make Your Laptop Adapter Long Life [print this page]


I believe that many laptop users have this feeling: after prolonged use of laptops, the hottest place is not the laptop surface, or even the part near the outlet, but the power adapter. Its burning. There will always make people worried that whether it would burn out or exploded.

Laptop adapter is a high-precision, high efficiency switched power supply, its role is to switch 220V of AC power to low voltage DC, provide stable power for the ordinary working.

As the power adapter are designed with fully enclosed structure, there is no thermal shell holes, and no internal cooling fan to assist, so the working power adapter is high of the internal temperature. Especially in the hot summer, you are not willing to touch it. Actually the internal temperature is even higher. So in the daily office, entertainment, keep it with proper care and maintenance.

Create a better cooling environment:

When you use you laptop under the high temperature environment, power adapter should not be placed in direct sunlight and well ventilated place; Do not put the power adapter near the

cooling air outlets, otherwise not only the power adapters heat can not be spread out, but also to absorb some heat.

In the sweltering summer, we can put the adapter aside to increase the contact area around the adapter so that the heat can be
disseminated from the adapter. In order to obtain better heat dissipation, we can pad between the adapter and the desktop into a narrow plastic block or piece of metal, to increase air flow around the adapter speed, speed up the adapters heat.

Different models of power adapter can not be mixed:

Different brand laptop power adapter have different output interfaces, voltages and current values, which can not be mixed. Different brand laptop power adapter have different output interfaces, voltages and current values, which can not be mixed. Take Dell PA-12 Laptop AC Adapter for instance, its 65w, and its output is 19.5V 3.34A. When you choose one for you dell, make sure yours is PA-12 Laptop AC Adapter. Otherwise, the battery will charge dissatisfied with electricity, and screen flickering. Worst is destroying the motherboards or other hardware. Same brand with different models of notebook power adapter have to recommend consulting the manufacturer before operating.

Take these in mind so that your adapter can live longer!
