Compaq Presario 1600-XL140 Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one will probably be the safest way to go. Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. The Compaq Presario 1600-XL140 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Hints of an ineffective charger
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up every time
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
