Hi, i have a laptop that was working fine however I moved the laptop and the computer powered down, I had no battery in the laptop at this point.
I asumed the power cable was bad so i checked the volts and i got 18v but i need 19.5
Then i went on to the socket on the mobo and tested the volts coming out from the back of the socket and i got 18v.
The dc socket is on a spereate board that is replacable but i cant understand why the laptop is not recieving power. The cable and the dc port is both giving out 18.1v.
Any ideas ?

Update : the lead is giving out 18.1 v and the laptop says on the bottom it needs 19.5 at 3.5a .
Could this be my prob ?
