Compaq Presario V5100 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the Presario V5100 model. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Compaq Presario V5100 power adapter provides two functions, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop.
Easy warnings your AC adapter has to be replaced
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Battery does not charge up at all
- Most Compaq adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
