Compaq Presario XL380 Power Adapter
Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Compaq Presario XL380 power adapter has two main uses, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If buying off-brand, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to.
Warnings your power adapter should be replaced
- Most Compaq AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge completely
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
