Compaq Presario XL120 Power Adapter
The Compaq Presario XL120 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. Upon choosing a replacement charger, choosing the Compaq brand one will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output.
Symptoms your AC adapter is in dire straights
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge all the time
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
- Most Compaq adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
