Just try to be careful - a computer or PSU can be replaced, however, a human can not be replaced.
On a side note - Compaq sure did have some issues with quality back in the days, just let me quote from other Compaq portable owners:
On another side note - i have the later Portable III and it's actually working fine.

I had plugged it in outside and it went BANG, let out a cloud of smoke and didn’t do much else.
About a minute later, smoke started to waft out of the
power supply vent area.
Powered up an old Compaq Portable II and was greeted with a cloud of smoke
They both went bang and let out a not-inconsiderable amount of smoke.
The Portable went bang like a firecracker and let out a lot of smoke upon initial power-up, like the 386.
