Compaq Prosignia 170 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. When choosing a new charger, the actual Compaq brand is usually going to be the safest choice. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Compaq Prosignia 170 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to.
Indications your power adapter has little time left
- The unit will not run while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Compaq battery refuses to charge up all the time
- Most Compaq adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
