Compaq Presario C300 C500 C700 F500 F700 Laptop Ac Power Adapter Charger

My old pc had lost its charger. This charger was inexpensive but works like the original I would recommend this replacement charger for anyone who needs a replacement. One of the best values in electronic equipment I have ever purchased. Thanks for the great price for a needed replacement charger.

I ordered this charger to replace the one that came with my wife's laptop. She is a heavy user and he original lasted just short of three years. I was somewhat skeptical of many of these online as most had pretty low reviews...except this one. Even though this wasn't the lowest priced...which for an item like this "lowest price" scares me, I chose this one due to the relatively higher reviews it received. My wife used it for 7-10 days and its already unusable. The cord by the plug has already cracked and frayed. Stay away from this product if you would like to keep from burning your house/apartment/office/etc. down.I deal with importing products from China and this kind of cheap junk still blows me away. I cannot believe that this kind of crap is being allowed to enter the US. I mean, I understand we're in a recession, but please, you end up spending way more money in the long run buying junk than some more quality product that costs more. I generally stay away from the low-priced stuff, but my wife was insistent on me getting something cheap because she just isn't sure how much life she has left in her laptop. It took her several days to tell me this power cord had already bit the dust because she was too embarrassed to admit it to me--she went straight to eBay to buy another one herself...we'll see how long that one lats, but its in her hands now if she doesn't want to pay for a quality one.So, to sum up my rant here, stay away from this item. Generally the rule of thumb is...you get what you pay for. I've found that online, a quality product is generally about 50% the cost of what you can find at Best Buy--for basic electronics and electronics accessories. If its even cheaper...so is the quality. This one was about about 8% of what one costs at Best Buy (broke my own rule.)

The adapter I purchased for My Compaq Presario from Amazon proved to be more reliable then the original adapter. The original adapter heated up and took a long time to charge, and would cause down time when it got too hot. The one I purchased from Amazon remained cool to the touch, and charged the battery without heating up. I later found out the original Compaq charger had internal problems. Wish I had known this when I first bought the laptop. Maybe the laptop battery would have charged faster had the original charger been in good condition. I will be keeping Amazon on my "Buy From" list.

Was concerned when I ordered that it would be the correct item. Needed it, since my old plug had a short in it, and the battery did not hold the charge. This came quickly and just what I needed. Was disappointed that the cord was not as long as the original and it is not a grounded plug, but it works, which I am thankful for.

Works great

Works better than the one that came with my laptop. It doesn't seem to get as hot. About 1/5 the cost of a charger from HP/Compaq. Only had it for 3 weeks. As long as it works I'm happy. UPDATE: It is now 4 weeks and has quit working. I dont know how to change my star rating but give it a 1

My original powercord had a short near where it plugs into the computer. I then bought this to replace that cord. It has worked well so far, I am not sure how long it will last, only have had it a few months, but hope it will last me a long time.Update 2019: Still working great. Very pleased.

I got this for my Compaq laptop, after my other power cord failed. I've had this one for two years now an it's been great. No complaints whatsoever. I would just make sure you are replacing the same power cord for your computer since all power cords are different. Make sure amps, volts etc match with the one you are trying to replace. Great product for the price. Replacements were much more expensive at the store where I bought my computer. Thanks Amazon.
