    Does anyone know which third-party AC Adapters will work with the TimelineX 3820TG?
    I just tried charging mine with two different adapters and none of them would charge. One was 19V 3.42A and the other was 19V 6.3A.
    I know that it requires 19V 4.74A, but is there anything else it needs?

    I picked that one up yesterday. It does run quite cool, though during extended use it is hot to the touch (not unbearably so however). I didn't hear any noise at all when using it.

    Compared to the original ACER one that I now have permanently plugged in at my desk, it is much slimmer and a pleasure to have.

    Additionally, you can try this one: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=56391&vpn=RP-095-D19A-A1&manufacture=COOLERMASTER which is similar to the one I described above, but it also has a cable management system which adds to its overall thickness.

    I appreciate all the suggestions, but what I'd really like to know is whether there's any chance of getting the Acer to work with the AC Adapters I already have.
