Checking the AC adapter

You are here because the computer fails only when the AC adapter is used.

If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power cord of the AC

adapter for correct continuity and installation.

To check the AC adapter, follow the steps below:
1. Unplug the AC adapter cable from the tablet.
2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC adapter cable. See the

following figure:

Note: Output voltage for the AC adapter pin No. 2 may differ from the one you

are servicing.
3. If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC adapter.
4. If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:

Replace the system board.

If the problem continues, go to

“Lenovo IdeaTab S2109A-F” on page 24.

Note: Noise from the AC adapter does not always indicate a defect.
