My Acer C720 will no longer charge-I'm traveling on business and need help quick

YRSherrer

I have an approximately 7 month old Acer C720. Suddenly it will no longer charge. It works well otherwise but I have only about 2 hours of battery  left. The outlet is okay because others can charge from it. When the cord is attached to the chromebook the on light blinks off and on. When it is not attached to the chrome book its a continuous green as it should be.

 

I first noticed this after a power outage that occured while I was on line. I belive my adaptor is also a surge protector and there was no noticeable effect from the brief power outage otherwise.

 

I am in Italy at a conference and need to be able to do a lot of work on line.

 

Any suggestions?

 

I already did the power wash and it did not work. I also did the refresh + power off and that has not helped.

 

Once the remaining battery time is used I'm toast if I can't get this fixed.

 

Can Acers be bought in Italy (Venice).

 

Thanks in advance  for all your help!

In Venice, i doubt.

few kilometers from Venice, there's a lot of tech shops:

Thanks, unfortunately in Venice you have to walk or take a boat, so I can't get out to any  of the areas with reasonable options for buying a computer or chromebook (preferred)- no Best Buys  etc or equivalents. Everything here seems to be design for the tourist not the worker.

Fortunately my daughter has traveled with me but she is not so hapy that I have commandeered her computer.
