Compaq Presario 1256 Power Adapter

Because Compaq uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Compaq Presario 1256 AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output.

What are the clues to watch out for to know my power adapter is in need of replacing?
