Compaq 1600XL Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is the best one to choose. If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. The Compaq 1600XL power adapter has two main uses, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate. Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
What warnings should I watch out for to know if my power adapter will soon go out?
- The majority of Compaq power chargers can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not run while solely using the AC adapter
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
