Review on 19V 3.42A 65W AC Power Adapter Charger for Acer Chromebook 11 13 14 15 R11 CB3-131-C3SZ C720-2103 CB5-571-C1DZ CB3-111-C670 CB5-132T-C1LK C730E-C4BA; Aspire One Cloudbook 11 14 AO1-131-C7DW C9PM by Joe Fulce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A third ground pin is missing on the adapter, which noticeably impairs the function of the touch panel.

I bought this as a replacement to keep my ACER Chromebook R11 handy. Unfortunately it does not have a 3 pin power supply cord/plug and unfortunately I discovered this upon receipt without looking closely at the photo. I didn't really think it would make a difference so I plugged it in and immediately noticed that it was interfering with my touchpad and it was moving very sluggishly and unpredictably, I don't know why, possibly due to stray current. If I disable it, the touchpad works fine. When I connect the original 3-pin power supply, the touchpad also works fine. I'm very hesitant to use it now without the third ground pin on the plug. If it affects the touchpad, I wonder what else it affects. I don't know if I can return it for free. I can't use it like this. I even tried plugging in other outlets and surge protectors. The same thing happens. I'm wondering if it's defective or just not suitable to use a two core cable with this device.
