Compaq CQ61 Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Compaq CQ61 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 powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the CQ61 model. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, make note of the output of amps and voltage.
Warnings your laptop charger has to be replaced
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge completely
- Most Compaq adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not function using just the AC power adapter
