Compaq Presario XL103 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. 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. The Compaq Presario XL103 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. When choosing a new charger, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Warnings of a laboring AC adapter
- Most Compaq adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not function while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge up all the time
