Compaq 1600T Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. The Compaq 1600T power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. When choosing a new AC charger, the actual Compaq brand is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
Major indications the power charger is on its last leg
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up completely
- The laptop does not operate while just using AC power
- The majority of Compaq power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
