    Hello to all!
    I have a problem with the Acer Aspire 5738g.
    In practice, when I touch the alimentation's cable or move the computer with the cable attached, it turns off.
    It is not normal because you just push a little the cable and the computer turns off.
    I do not have the battery.
    Do you know how to solve?
    Sorry for my bad english. :mad:

    Alimentation cable? Do you mean power cord?

    No problem- just clarifying. I have an Aspire 5740G which uses the same chassis as 5738G and I have the same problem.

    In my opinion the power jack is too lose - in time it starts too lose contact and that's what's happening to you.
    I'm thinking about buying a new one and soldiering it in. (an example)
