Compaq Presario 1400 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 1400 model. When choosing a new adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. The Compaq Presario 1400 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Major indications the power charger is going to die
- Most Compaq adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not run using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge up completely
