Compaq Presario 1274 Power Adapter
Because Compaq uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. When choosing a new adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. The Compaq Presario 1274 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Major symptoms of a declining Compaq 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 laptop does not operate while solely using the AC adapter
- Battery does not charge up all the time
