Compaq Presario CQ56 Power Adapter

Upon choosing a replacement charger, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is the best one to choose. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. The Compaq Presario CQ56 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit.

What red flags are there that my power adapter needs to be replaced?
