Compaq Portable - Help

You could try purchasing the SAMS computerfacts for the compaq portable. They will most likely have a schematic for the PSU in them.

I had a look on SAMS website and they still offer it for $22. Link here
 
Based on the schematic posted above it's just a BU508 power transistor. Still readily available.
 
Hey guys. Thank you very much for the support. I was looking for this pdf but i couldn’t find it. Thank you very much. Before i read your answers i replaced the transistor with BD139 and i also replaced the diode next to it which was bad. After i replaced these components the psu worked with all voltages. Unfortunately one tantalum capacitor on cga exploded so i have to replace all these capacitors. Now with this pdf i will examine better the psu and i ll check all the computer.
Thank you again for the support all of you. !!!!!
 
Hello, I have a problem with an identical power supply. The power supply starts and has the correct voltage for 20-30 seconds after which it power off. If I power on the power supply without load , the voltage tend to remain stable, but as I add a important load(big HDD) voltage begin to fall and the power supply stops. I changed the capacitors on the output but in vain.Some suggestions?
