Compaq 1600-XL146 Power Adapter
Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. When choosing a new AC adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. The Compaq 1600-XL146 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop.
Symptoms your power adapter is dead
- Battery does not charge up completely
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
- Most Compaq adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
