Compaq 515 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. Upon choosing a replacement charger, choosing the Compaq brand one will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Compaq 515 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Major warnings the power charger will not live much longer
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not function using just the AC power adapter
