Good question... I have measured voltage on the tip and ring of the AC/DC converter cord (I guess that this is not under load though), and I have used a different power cord with same results on the broken unit and have used the broken unit cord on my other Dell with good results. I know that this can be misleading so I will do as you suggest and test internal to the unit.

Thanks again and stay tuned,
Hal
