subject: Tips for Longer Laptop AC Adapter Life [print this page] In the daily usage, there are more and more instructions that one should follow in order to protect the AC adapter, even your laptop. I used to have my PA3468U-1ACA AC Adapter damaged by carelessness. Here provide you these tips to follow.
Never use laptop under the unstable voltage and current
I hadn't realized the bad effect of the unstable current until my adapter got damaged. Usually we have no idea of unstable current, for we have no material to check the current. Thus, you should be cautious when you see there are several high watt apparatus sharing the same socket family at the same time. As I often share the same socket family, the current is not stable and that directly help my PA3468U-1ACA AC Adapter dead.
Avoid falling and no liquid
Notebook power adapters are portable and with very compact internal structure. Compress and falling are harmful to the ac adapter. Another point is the liquid for we usually lay the adapter on the ground. There are evitable liquid on the ground, too.
Avoid heat
Few people cares about the cooling of the ac adapter. In fact people often have the ac adapter in different places like the quilt, the ground even the corner. Usually the adapter has got very hot in these unventilated places. Overheating can lead to the laptop crash. That is the same to the AC adapter.
Avoid rough line
Notice the winding angles of the laptop AC adapter because it is small and easy to bend. Time after time, the circuit inside has been damaged by the rough usage.
Avoid inappropriate use of plug
Each laptop generally has its specific ac adapter, so different brand and different model can't be compatible. That is to say, two laptops can't share the same ac adapter. if you plug it with brutal power, that will damage you're the outlet. So keep your adapter in good condition. Otherwise get a good replacement for your adapter. There are lots of sound compatible adapter on the online store.
Keep these tips in mind you will see that your adapter can work longer for you instead of my PA3468U-1ACA AC Adapter. However, it's wise to get a replacement for your adapter in case of the accident.
