Compaq 516 Power Adapter
The Compaq 516 power adapter has two main uses, charging the battery and powering the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the 516 model.
Key indicators that my Compaq AC adapter is on its last leg?
- Battery does not charge at all
- The unit will not work using just the AC power adapter
- The majority of Compaq power chargers can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
