Compaq Presario XL102 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, please check on the output of amps and voltage. The Compaq Presario XL102 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, choosing the Compaq brand one is the best one to choose.
Major clues to watch for in a bad power adapter
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up completely
- The majority of Compaq power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
