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:

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

Checking the battery pack
Battery charging does not start until the Power Meter shows that less than 95% of the total power remains; under this condition the battery pack can charge to 100% of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being overcharged or from having a shortened life.
Tap the battery icon in the icon tray, and the percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get detailed information about the battery, tap Battery under Settings In the applications list, to enter the battery information interface.
Note: If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able to be charged. Remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.
To check the battery pack, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 14 (-). See the following figure:

To check the battery pack, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 14 (-). See the following figure:
3. If the voltage is less than +3.7 V DC, the battery pack has been discharged.
Note: Recharging will be continued for at least 3 hours, even though the indicator does not light on.
If the voltage is still less than +3.7 V DC after recharging, replace the battery.
If the voltage is still less than +3.7 V DC after recharging, replace the battery.
