Compaq 610 Power Adapter
The Compaq 610 power adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate.
Main clues your AC adapter will eventually need to be replaced
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge whatsoever
