Compaq NC8230 Power Adapter
The Compaq NC8230 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is the best one to choose.
Warnings your AC adapter is in need of replacing
- Most Compaq AC adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge every time
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
