Compaq Presario 1600 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. The Compaq Presario 1600 AC adapter has two main uses, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Compaq brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to.
Cues poorly running power adapter
- Most Compaq adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge whatsoever
- The unit will not operate while solely using the AC adapter
