Compaq Presario V3000 Power Adapter
Because Compaq uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Compaq Presario V3000 AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Compaq brand will probably be the safest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, please check on the output of amps and voltage. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Indications of a faulty AC adapter
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
- Most Compaq adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up every time
