Compaq Presario 2500 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. Because Compaq uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When purchasing 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 absolutely need to. The Compaq Presario 2500 power adapter provides two functions, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
What signals that my AC adapter is about to stop working?
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up completely
