Acer L100 doesn`t work with Molex power connectors. Its a standard laptop supply. It is possible that your mainboard os defective. Acer L100 and AcerPower 1000 series have a lot of overheating problems. I have seen failure rates of 80% ....
Good day sir/ma'am, chances are that your power supply box is the faulty part. But to make sure let us test your power supply box. here are the steps:
PC is off, open the side panels of the CPU, disconnect the 20(or 24) pin molex connector from the motherboard.
Get a piece of jumper wire, about 4 inches and splice the ends.
On the molex connector, locate the green wire, then using the jumper wire, short it with the black wire (there are lots of black wires there).
look at the exhaust fan, at this point it should be spinning (good). if not here are the other possible outcome: (1) the fan did not spin. replace the power supply box with a new one. (2) the fan spins momentarily then stops, this condition only occur once. Its either your power supply has no load (intermittent symptoms), or the switching controller stage part is faulty. Better buy a new one than have a headache. (3) blows a fuse. replace the entire box.
If you have a good power supply, install it on your CPU and test.

Back at the end of Sept, you posted: "I have a solution for L100 heat problem. My idling temps before fix 55
to 65 cel. After fix 33 to 35 cel. If anyone is interested I will post
step by step fix." My L100 is completely dead and I am wondering if I might be able to resurrect it. I'd love to know what you did

Where can I get a replacement antenna for an Acer L100. I lost mine after my move to college, and Acer's support website is useless. I would rather purchase an aftermarket one but I'm not sure what type of connection is on the back of the pc. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
