Compaq Presario F500 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. The Compaq Presario F500 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go.
How do you know if your charger is about to go out?
- The unit will not work using just the AC power adapter
- Most Compaq AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up every time
