Compaq Presario 1600-XL145 Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, choosing the Compaq brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. The Compaq Presario 1600-XL145 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the Presario 1600-XL145 model.
General indicators that your the Compaq power adapter should be replaced
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up every time
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not function while solely using the AC adapter
