Compaq Presario 1683 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. The Compaq Presario 1683 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Clues to watch for to know your laptop charger is going out
- The laptop does not operate without the battery installed
- Most Compaq AC adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up at all
