Power system checkout
To verify if a battery and an ac power adapter are functional, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Connect the ac power adapter.
3. Turn on the computer. If the computer can be turned on, it means that either the battery or the ac
power adapter is functional.
4. Turn off the computer.
5. Disconnect the ac adapter and turn on the computer. If the computer can be turned on, it means the
battery is functional.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate one of the following power supply checkouts:
•
“Checking the ac power adapter” on page 28
• “Checking the battery and operational charging” on page 29
Checking the ac power adapter
You are here because the computer fails only when the ac power adapter is used.
• If the system-status indicator does not blink three times when an ac power source is connected, check
the power cord of the ac power adapter for correct continuity and installation.
• If the computer does not charge during operation, go to “Checking the battery and operational charging”
on page 29.
To check the ac power adapter, do the following:
1. Disconnect the ac power adapter cable from the computer.
2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the ac power adapter cable. See the following illustration:
Pin Voltage (V dc)
1 +20
2 0
3 Ground
(20V)
1
3
2
Note: Output voltage of pin 2 of the ac power adapter might differ from the one you are servicing.
3. If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac power adapter.
4. If the voltage is acceptable, replace the system board.
