Compaq Presario XL119 Power Adapter
Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, the actual Compaq brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Compaq Presario XL119 power adapter has two main uses, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Red flags of a worsening AC adapter
- Most Compaq adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge every time
- The laptop does not run while solely using the AC adapter
