Voltage (V dc)
15.5V. - 17.0 V. Ground
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter.
If the voltage is within the range, do the following:
vReplace the system board.
vIf the problems still persist, go to “Undetermined Problems” on page 49.
Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defect.
Checking operational charging
To check operational charging, use a discharged battery pack (Battery ASM) or a Battery ASM that has less than 50% of the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or icon does not turn on, remove the Battery ASM and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall the Battery ASM. If the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace the Battery ASM.
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the system board. Then reinstall the Battery ASM. If the reinstalled Battery ASM is not charged, go to the next section.
