kinda looking at my //c, it sometimes has boot issues and i have never seen the video pop up, starting with its brick on a leash I thought I would check its output

it says its putting out 15 volts, and since it is not a regulated supply (that happens inside the computer) when there is no load on it, it will naturally float up

happens on all non regulated supplies, 12 becomes 14, 5 becomes 9 etc, on this supply i am getting just a shade over 19v with no load attached to it, and while this sounds a tad high, it does not sound outrageous

so if anyone has a //c brick, a multimeter, and a couple spare moments to help me verify this, it would be appreciated

thanks
