Compaq Armada E500S Power Adapter
Because Compaq uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the Armada E500S model. When choosing a new charger, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Compaq Armada E500S AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
Key symptoms of a deteriorating charger
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge all the time
- Most Compaq AC adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
