Hopefully all it was was the adapter. If it was your laptop. That issue is NOT covered under warranty.
The issue is NOT the battery. It is either the mobo or the adapter. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY CONNECTION like some people said.
They are not degreed, have continous education, certified, or have experience in industry. The charging circuit is on the mobo. Take the battery out and see if it works on adapter only.
If it does, you have a bad mobo. The charging circuit is on the mobo and VERY expensive to replace. You can TRY to tell them that it won't charge and send it in.
DO NOT TELL THEM YOU USED A CHEAPO CAR ADAPTER. Chances are they won't catch you Acer techs really are the bottom of the barrel. IF they catch you they will contact you with a price quote.
It will be cheaper to buy a new computer than to repair a mobo, no matter what brand you buy, but you should know acer parts are NOT the same as parts from a "good" company. There is a quality difference on all parts. If you were the subcontractor, are you going to send the "good" parts to the person who pays the least and doesn't care about defect rates?
OR Are you going to send the "good" parts to a company that will pay more, but expects less than .0001 defect rate and 100% return on all defects? That is why the same exact intel part number has way less defects on, say a dell, than on an acer. But like I said acer techs are so bad, they probably won't even catch you.
Thank God it still boots. In the meantime, you'll just have to use it with a GOOD adapter. Just throw out that other Piece of shirt adapter.
Good luck!
Most likely damage will be to the charging circuits, they can usually be replaced but its not something I would suggest you do yourself given your obvious lack of knowledge on electronics. A repair shop will probably charge between 50 and 100 for labour plus any parts.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
