Compaq AP500 Power Supply
The PSU, or power supply, is responsible for powering the hard drive, motherboard and any other peripherals in the PC. Purchasing a new Compaq AP500 power supply can be a breeze, especially if you still have the old PSU for comparison. It is usually pretty easy to install a power supply in your Compaq computer. Try to replace a power supply with at least the same watts, if not bigger. You do not always want to go with the cheapest PSU as it is the only thing between a large quantity of electricity and fragile internal computer components.
Signs the main power source is in dire straights
- System shuts down while under a certain amount of stress
- You see burning plastic inside the power supply
- The Compaq is unable to power on
