Compaq 615 Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, selecting the Compaq OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. The Compaq 615 power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary.
Subtle hints your power adapter is in dire need of a replacement
- Most Compaq AC adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The unit will not operate while solely using the AC adapter
