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: "Checking the AC Adapter" "Checking the Operational Charging" on page 34 "Checking the Battery ASM" on page 34 Checking the AC Adapter: You are here because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used: If the power problem occurs only when the ThinkPad Port Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature. If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and installation. If the operational charge does not work, go to "Checking the Operational Charging" on page 34. 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. Pin Voltage (V dc) 1 +15.5 to +17.0 2 Ground If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter. If the voltage is within the range, do the following: Replace the DC-DC & BATT board. Replace the system board. If the problem is not corrected, go to "Undetermined Problems" on page 47 Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defective adapter.
