Compaq Presario 1273 Power Adapter
Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain you select the correct one for the Presario 1273 model. When choosing a new AC charger, the actual Compaq brand is usually going to be the safest choice. If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. The Compaq Presario 1273 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my power adapter is almost going bad?
- Most Compaq adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not work without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge all the time
