Question:

compaq charger getting hot?

i use a compaq presario laptop.i replaced my battery with a duplicate one.the battery packing said that it was more durable and would work longer than my original battery and such thingsbut now ive observed that my charger gets very hot when i charge my laptop (while using it usually) from 13% to 100% it gets hot that it becomes hard to catch it for long.even after 100% charge, like right now, the charger is warm.it is connected to my laptop.what is the problem? is it due to the battery taking more charge, or that the charger is bad?what could the effect and the problem be?

Answer:

if the charger is defective, the charger heats up because power is used. your best bet is to get a new charger. they last about a year or so. make sure the charger you get is from a good source and is the correct charger as soon as possible. for a new charger, you can look online on generic sites but i would personally suggest topmic they are more reliable and have better reputation. you should be able to find them through google search. make sure the specifications is the same as your current charger (connector tip, voltage, amperage, etc). if you have any more questions feel free to send me an email and ill be happy to help (^_^)/!
