Compaq Presario XL192 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. 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. The Compaq Presario XL192 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output.
Major indications of a dying charger
- Battery does not charge at all
- Most Compaq AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not work while just using AC power
