Compaq 511 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Compaq brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Compaq 511 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate.
Major signs of a defective charger
- The laptop does not operate while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up completely
- The majority of Compaq power chargers get warm when plugged in for any length of time
