Compaq 1600-XL257 Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. When choosing a new charger, the actual Compaq brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Compaq 1600-XL257 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate.
Simple warnings that your power adapter will soon go out?
- The laptop does not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge every time
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
