Compaq 510 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one will probably be the safest way to go. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. The Compaq 510 AC adapter has two main uses, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Indications your power adapter is in dire straights
- The majority of Compaq power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- The unit will not function using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge at all
