I bought an Acer recently and the plug seems to be an issue. Any issues here?

I purchased my V3-551-8442 in January 2014 and am not experiencing any malfunctions. Clarifying your problem may help others to address your issue.

No, send this back to Acer/Gateway again for repair because of BSOD. Time will tell to see if issue is resolved.

Please Please Please, listen to my advice and return that computer ASAP. I bought it and yes, I had the same problem but thought I would hold on to it because if I turned it off and back on it would be okay....for a little while. Then it quit connecting to the internet, that is when I decided to return it. I bought it Oct. 7th 2013 and received it the 18th. When I tried to return it through a seller on Amazon they refused even though it was under 30 days since I had it. I was not able to return it because under the sellers conditions it stated 30 days since order date not 30 days since I had it. I spent 1588.00 and Amazon refused the A-Z claim. I then had to send it to Acer ( by the way they are a joke! ) I got it back the end of December and still had problems with the flickers and mouse acting up..the internet connection was much better but not 100% However a month later I needed to send it off again for the speakers that quit working and a bad battery. I was also having problems with the flickers again that AGAIN got bad. I will never buy a Acer again and hope you are in the 30 day grace period so you can get your money back. This computer is a piece of garbage with a large price tag....

That is the rub with tablets: they all seem to use a proprietary power plug, and adapter. The one with the Acer Iconia is actually a micro usb, but they have it attached to the cord in a proprietary way and the power adapter is unique to the Iconia. So, if you need a second one, order it from Acer or elsewhere online. I actually broke the one that came with the unit by forgetting it was plugged in, picking it up and walking away with it plugged in. Which broke the plugin part. I ordered a second one, which showed up before the tablet's battery was depleted.

My cord works with the acer. On the side of the acer where u plug the round end into the computer is really lose... when I have it plug in I have to keep a piece of tape on it yo hold it in. Very annoying for me. However it does work.Rosa

Yes, I have plugged in Dell, Acer and HP three prong laptop power cords in this device. It is hard to plug into tho, takes a few gentle tries and patience.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems.My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

I apologize I'm unable to help with your question. I sent the Acer back to the manufacturer.

I haven't had any issues with mine. It sounds like you have a short circuit happening in your mouse that's depleting the power.

I have answered this before. The plug that goes to the laptop was too large and we returned the product.

I have not done that with my Acer as it works good just as it is. But I can see no reason why that would be a problem. My only problems with this computer are that it will not load and run my old software like AutoCAD 2000 and Lotus Smartsuite. Otherwise it is a great computer.

I didnt have a problem with mine, but my previous plug in I had to go into my settings and had to connect it manually to grt it to connect.

If you can only display on an external monitor, then I'd call it DOA. Send it back for a replacement.Acer or Amazon should have you set. Just make sure you register the Acer on their website if you plan to get a new one from them.

I had the same thing just happen, and when I connected it to my computer, it would connect and un-connect every couple of seconds.Obviously there IS something wrong with the charger, as mine also fit snugly and seemed like it would work perfectly. I ended up returning mine and am looking into other options.

Hi Russ, Try removing the battery completely, holding the power button down for about 15 seconds and then plugging the AC Adapter back in. If you're still not getting any power, contact our service team for additional support. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/service-contact

I've had my ACER for three months. Installed a WD MYBOOK 2T the first week and have never had a problem. Works great. On the ACER there are both USB 3.0 on the left side and 4 USB 2.0 on the back. the MY Book is plugged into a 2.0 slot (middle position). Try changing the USB slot you are plugged into. Or totally delete the MYBOOK and re-install.

I'm not sure why wouldn't not work on my Acer as well the only thing I could think of would be the computers not installing the components
