Compaq Presario XL122 Power Adapter
The Compaq Presario XL122 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, choosing the Compaq brand one is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output.
Major signs the Compaq power adapter needs replacing ASAP
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge completely
- Most Compaq adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
