To verify the symptom of the problem power on the computer using each of the following power sources:

1.Remove the battery ASM.

2.Connect the AC Adapter and check that power is supplied.

3.Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged battery ASM; then check that power is supplied by the battery ASM.

If you suspect a power problem, refer to the appropriate power supply check listed below:

v“Checking the AC Adapter”

v“Checking the Operational Charging” on page 15

Checking the AC Adapter

You are here because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used:

vIf the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and installation.

vIf the operational charge does not work, go to “Checking the Operational Charging” on page 15.

Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter cable. See the following figure.
