It seems that my laptop want go to ac (adapter) and shuts down

I have an Acer 3000, all of sudden it does not want to run on adapter. Purchased another one and still have the same problems. If I wiggle the adaper cord and hold it tight on the back of the plug that goes in the computer and can some times get a connects then it tells me to switch to adapter (AC) because battery is low. it won't reconize that the ac adapter is plug. Please help someone.

    You are probably right because I did notice a crack on the back of the computer where the monitor and keyboard connection (where the hinges are).

Most likely your problem is caused by a loose connection on the main board of the laptop. Even though it will plug in to the connection, the connection on the mainboard is either cracked or broken. Laptops are VERY hard to work on and you need to find a authorized repair shop for that brand computer in your local area to properly fix this problem.

Good luck!

7720 runs fine off battery ,but will not run off ac adapter ac adapter has been checked and has the right amount of voltage and amps

Adapter: see if you can get a duplicate adapter from someone and try theirs. Your PS has a fault which could lead to damage to the Video portion and down the road, burn out the CPU.

Hi, my laptop crashes when the ac adaptor is plugged in yet it will charge the battery fine when the laptop is shut down.

Problem description: The laptop shuts off when AC power adapter is plugged in. The laptop works fine on battery power but as soon as you connect it to AC adapter, the laptop turns off.
Possible cause: 1. Power adapter failure.
2. Motherboard failure.
Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution: First of all, test the power adapter. Make sure the adapter outputs correct voltage. It's possible that the output voltage is not correct and the laptop shuts down to prevent the damage. Test your laptop with another known good power adapter.
If the problem still exists, even after replacing the adapter, most likely it's the motherboard failure. Replace the motherboard.

Battery was running out on my Acer mini book, hibernated and turned of, tried to turn it on nothing happened., used ac adaptor....still nothing

take battery out, unplug ac adapter. Wait one minute. leave battery out. Plug in ac adapter and turn on laptop. Once it turns back on. Shut down laptop and put battery back in. Now you should be able to turn laptop on with or without battery.

Probably a voltage regulator, they are usually available on ebay, but I suggest having it done at a repair centre.
