If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate one of the following power
supply checkouts:
v “Checking the ac adapter”
v “Checking operational charging”
v “Checking the battery pack” on page 30
v “Checking the backup battery” on page 30
Checking the ac adapter
You are here because the computer fails only when the ac adapter is used.
v If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power cord of the ac
adapter for correct continuity and installation.
v If the computer does not charge during operation, go to “Checking operational
charging”
To check the ac adapter, do the following:
1. Unplug the ac adapter cable from the computer.
2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the ac adapter cable. See the
following figure:
1 (20V)
2
Pin Voltage (V dc)
1 +20
2 Ground
3. If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac adapter.
4. If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:
v Replace the system board.
v If the problem persists, go to “IdeaPad S9e, S10e, and S10” on page 45.
Note: Noise from the ac adapter does not always indicate a defect.
Checking operational charging
To check whether the battery charges properly during operation, use a discharged
battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% of the total power remaining
when installed in the computer.
