Compaq Presario 1245 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the Presario 1245 model. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Compaq brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Compaq Presario 1245 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop.
Major indications the power charger should need replacing
- Battery does not charge completely
- The majority of Compaq power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not run using just the AC power adapter
