HP G42 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the HP brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. Due to the fact that one HP adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain you select the correct one for the G42 model. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. The HP G42 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Red flags your AC adapter is in dire need of a replacement
- Battery does not charge up every time
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Most HP adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
