Compaq CQ70 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on the output of amps and voltage. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is the best one to choose. Because Compaq uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be certain you select the correct one for the CQ70 model. The Compaq CQ70 AC adapter provides two functions, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Subtle cues to watch for in a bad power adapter
- The majority of Compaq power chargers will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not run while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge completely
