It's supposed to be 19.5 volts but the highest number I could get from
my VOM was 17v, and that quickly dropped, gradually or as low as 5! Of
course it was hard to hold the probe to the center pin, and i'm not
building a jig just for this. I'll see what the vendor says.
This is probably one for Paul (my electronics knowledge is limited and
slipping), but AFAIK, a laptop adapter will not supply the specified
voltage unless you draw some current from it, which your meter doesn't
do (well, only very little, not enough).
Good to know. The fact that anyting was coming out probably means it's working. But your prior post about touching a key may be even more
help.
