Compaq Presario XL185 Power Adapter
The Compaq Presario XL185 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. If you decide to buy an non-Compaq adapter, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. When choosing a new AC adapter, choosing the Compaq brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Clues your AC adapter is going to die
- The laptop does not run while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up completely
- Most Compaq adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
