Fortunately, I was sitting right there so I smelled it when it started smoking - so it didn't burn down my truck or anything exciting like that. Looks like maybe the internal fuse did NOT blow when the electronics started to fry. Now it has a melted spot on the side and I'm not about to plug it in to see if it still works or not. I've had it about a week and I've sent a contact email to eForCity through the Amazon contact system. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to be very happy if I end up having to spend money to ship a $10 item back for a replacement. If I get good service, then I'll edit this review and say so. If I don't get good service then I'll do the same. EDIT: Well I got a response...sort of. What I got was an email with a tracking number showing that the company had shipped another unit.

This review is from: Car Charger for Acer Aspire One (Electronics) Plug it in, turn on the laptop, done! It does everything the OEM power brick does, but through a cigarette lighter.
I checked the output voltage of this thing, and it's right at 18 volts. The OEM power brick output is 19 volts. Close enough! The cigarette lighter side gets slightly warm while it has a load on it (charging the battery while the machine is powered on), but I wouldn't consider it any kind of hazard. It doesn't get anywhere near as warm as the OEM power brick does. It just plain works like it is supposed to. Enough said. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By Mark Spark "markspark" (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
