Identify the Potential Problems of LCD AC Adapters

February 29th, 2012 Vicky No comments

As all we know, Laptop AC adapters are familiar with laptop users, while LCD AC adapters are not the same case. Therefore, especially for some green hands of laptop accessories, as soon as the LCD AC adapters come across any possible problems, it usually makes customer feel headache and frustrated. Here I would like to share with you some solutions to potential problems of LCD AC adapter through spotting it according to different exterior symptoms.

First of all, Bad tracks in Hard Disk

There will be bad tracks caused by poor quality LCD AC adapters, which could be repaired by softwares. On this case, the primary is to make sure whether adapters are in problem or not. If so, it is necessary to replace a more reliable and stable LCD AC adapter.

Secondly, Working Computer Accompanied by “Humming” Noise

The humming noise generally results from increasing noise of LCD AC adapter fans, which caused by excessive dust accumulation because of long-term idleness. The best solution is to uncover computer first, and then unplug LCD AC adapter, loose fans from adapter to dedust. After reinstalled all components, noise should be disappeared at once booting.

Thirdly, Poor Performance of CD-ROM Drive

In a general, new-purchased CD-ROM drives or laptops are prone to practice poor performance, which can be characterized by huge buzz sound, saving for the CD-ROM drive reasons, it may result from adapters. At this moment, open to check is indispensable.

Fourthly, Instability of Overclocking

CPU overclocking requires high stability of computer. Therefore, if adapter quality is compromised, the moment computer being overclocking, sudden crash or restart is turning out, which can be addressed by replacing a new stable LCD AC adapter.

Fifthly, Zigzag in Monitor

The zigzag appearing in the surface of monitor is probably due to the leakage of electromagnetic radiation, which has a bad influence on the normal performance of monitor. If nothing is taken to stop this situation, the monitor could be magnetized some day.

At last, Baffling Restart of Host

If your host is often baffling to restart, it may be caused by inadequate power. Chances are that inadequate power to drive all laptop units to work properly, there are probably some bad problems showing like system software running error, hard and optical drive reading and writing disable and memory loss, etc., which lead your laptop/computer to reboot. Therefore, finding a stable and suitable LCD AC adapter is vital for laptop users.

Answers to the Reason Why Need LCD AC Adapter for Your Monitor

AC is short for “alternating current.” Alternating current is how commercial power companies supply power to their customers. The AC adapter takes the alternating current and converts it to Direct Current or DC. According to the identification in Wikipedia.com, the AC adapter is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in what looks like an over-sized AC plug. It will be seen from the above that LCD AC adapter is an external power supplier for your LCD electronics mainly in laptop LCD monitor or LCD television.

However, LCD AC adapters are not so popular with AC adapter because of its limited utility in LCD monitor for laptops and televisions, which only have some specific customers. Most of customers maintain that I can plug my LCD monitor directly to my wall socket, it’s unnecessary to spend spare money to buy these useless gadgets.

Here I would like to share with you the reasons why should you need a LCD AC adapter for your LCD monitor.
Like the normal AC adapter, a LCD AC adapter has at least 4 advantages as following.

First and most important one, safety – External power adapters can free product designers from worrying about some safety issues. Much equipment uses only voltages low enough not to be a safety hazard internally, although the power supply must of necessity use dangerous mains voltage. If an external power supply is used (usually via a power connector,
often of coaxial type), the equipment need not be designed with concern for hazardous voltages inside the enclosure.This is particularly relevant for equipment with lightweight cases which may break and expose internal electrical parts. Therefore, you should pay much more attention to the required Voltage and Current of your LCD monitor, generally speaking,if the Watts form your wall slat is lower than your monitor, there are black or dim screen showing out, which may burn your monitor out thoroughly, a higher Watt LCD AC adapter can deal with it safely and conveniently.

Secondly, reduce heat and cool your LCD screen to some extent. Heat reduces reliability and longevity of electronic components, and can cause sensitive circuits to become inaccurate or malfunction, and even bring a huge damage to your motherboard which may cost you thousands of hundreds of bucks. A separate power supply removes a source of heat from theapparatus. Do not take my word for it, you can check the temperature difference between plug and unplug your LCD AC adapter by your hands.

Thirdly, Electrical noise reduction – Because radiated electrical noise falls off with the square of the distance, it is advantageous to convert potentially electrically noisy AC line power or automotive power to “clean”, filtered DC in an external adapter, at a safe distance from noise-sensitive circuitry. That’s to say, AC adapters come in two different types they are either filtered or regulated. Filtered adapters help prevent line noise from being carried to the television. This line noise can cause lines in your screen and distorted pictures. Regulated adapters ensure that the same amount of current is always being supplied to the television. This helps protect against power surges or any hiccups from your power company.

Fourthly, Widen the range of LCD monitor configuration- Externally-powered laptop LCD monitors or LCD televisions can be used with different power sources as needed (e.g. 120VAC, 240VAC, 12VDC, or external battery pack), for convenient use in the field or when traveling.

65W VS 90W AC Adapter, how to choose?

November 3rd, 2011 Admin No comments

Laptop A watt is a unit of measurement. This particular unit measures power, or capacity to do work. Watt’s law states that one watt (1W) is how much power is in an electrical circuit where one ampere (1A), or amp, of current flows across a difference of one volt (1V). AC adapters convert electricity in alternating current form from one voltage to another. If you are looking at two AC adapters that both convert, say, 120V AC to 12V AC, it can be confusing to see different wattage ratings (such as 65W vs. 90W) for the two adapters.

An AC adapter with a rating of 90 watts with an output of 12 volts AC will have a maximum electrical current output of 7.5 amps (12V x 7.5A = 90W). Therefore, an AC adapter with a higher power rating (measured in watts) will be able to supply more current to a device it’s connected to.

While an AC adapter with a higher power rating will allow for faster battery charging times and increased electrical loads, an AC adapter with a lower power rating may suffice, especially where there is a concern about excess heat or higher cost.

Similarly, since the power rating is considered to be a “maximum allowable power” indication, an AC adapter may be used to power devices that are rated at or below their power rating. If a device requires 12V and 3A (36W), either the 65W or 90W power supply may be used to power it.

Cost may also be a factor. Usually, since AC adapters with a higher power rating must be capable of delivering more electrical current for the same amount of voltage, the components required to assemble an AC adapter must be more robust than that of a lower-power-rated AC adapter.

AC adapters with higher power ratings also give off more heat than adapters with lower power ratings. If excess heat is a consideration, an adapter with a higher power rating may not be suitable for the application.
