Please help me identify this laptop or charger

My son lost his charger, broke his screen, ripped all identifying stickers off (including the one on the bottom, I have no idea why he would do this), lost all documentation, and let the battery die. I have taken this laptop to

several places to see if they can help, but nobody around here has Acer chargers. I want to give my kid a monitor (since the screen is broken) for Christmas, but I want to see the laptop boot up first. We seem to recall it being an Acer Nitro 5 that was bought about 3 years ago. I can't believe I have to ask for this odd kind of help or that my kid mistreated this piece of hardware, but we have had a conversation about it and it has been quite the learning experience for him. The charger port is about 1/4" (about 6mm) and my finger is at about 1" (about 25mm).

Buy a generic charger off Amazon with multiple tips. You will need a 135W charger.

But before that, the story seems a little off - are you sure the laptop isn't stolen?

Your laptop is a Nitro 5 laptop and if its 3 years old and was bought new in the box then its an AN515-56 with an Intel 11th Gen cpu and either an NVidia GTX1650 gpu or an RTX3050 gpu. But your 2021 Nitro 5 laptop should have a sticker on the back of the laptop where all this information is written clearly with the laptop's S/N and NSID and Model number.

Below are the Acer provided oem Nitro 5 AN515-56-barrel pug adapter chargers which will work with the earlier Nitro 5 AN515-55 also if your laptop is that model. But if your laptop is a 2021 model then its definitely a Nitro AN515-56 which and btw I'm using also. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
