Compaq Presario 1600-XL150 Power Adapter
The Compaq Presario 1600-XL150 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, the actual Compaq brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs.
Simple indications poorly running power adapter
- The unit will not function without the battery installed
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up completely
- Most Compaq adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
