Compaq Presario 1600-XL147 Power Adapter
Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Compaq Presario 1600-XL147 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. When choosing a new AC adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one is usually going to be the safest choice.
Main clues the power charger is going to die
- The unit will not run while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge every time
- Most Compaq AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
