Checking the AC Adapter



Checking the AC Adapter

If the Power-On indicator does not turn-on, check the power cord of the AC adapter for correct continuity and installation.
  1.  If any noise can be heard from the AC adapter when it is  plugged into the ac power outlet, replace the AC adapter.

    If no noise can be heard from the AC adapter,  go to step 3.

  2.  If a noise is still heard from the new AC adapter, suspect  the computer. Replace the AC adapter with the original one, then  go to the next step. If no noise is heard from the new AC adapter,  the original AC adapter is defective.
  3.  Unplug the AC adapter cable from the computer and  measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC adapter cable.

     

    Pin Voltage (Vdc)
    1 +19.0 to +21.0
    2 Ground

     

  4.  Unplug the AC adapter cable from the ac power outlet and wait for  a few minutes.
  5.  Plug the AC adapter cable into the ac power outlet.
  6.  Measure the output voltage of the AC adapter.
