    So you don't have any access to a cheap multimeter and a paper clip? because that is all you need

    I have paper clip, thats all. Never had multimeter, I dont see why would I even have that thing? I never used it, I did see it though, electricians have it. I dont know why your confused, its one of the most useless things to have, hardly ever usefull for common people.

    Mate I was adding the confused emoticon not because I am confused per se' more that you said and I quote I don't have access to anything like that from your link.

    A multimeter is good for testing to see if wall sockets are "live" and if batteries are flat or up to scratch and in this case measuring the output volts on your PSU.

    Now you I am assuming not at all interested in the internal workings of a machine and seem to be totally dependent on software tests.

    So just forget what I have said and go with the others

    I live in a block of flats, that is maintained by housing cooperative, and in case something doesnt work, you just call them, and they send someone. Thats how it is, they take care of the building inside, and outside, water, electricity in fact everything. You just take care of your flat, excludint what I typed. The batteries are so rarely used by me, and other family members, that its not a problem to buy new, since we use just a few of them, in couple years. Pretty much never had anything that would be eating batteries.

    If I didnt knew how it works, I couldnt build my PCs, Im just not interested in electricity, but if I find someone that by any chance will have that tool, I will check the voltage. So far, none of the people I asked has it.

    I value your help, but that was the first time someone told me to check voltage .

    Well I suppose you could just take the battery to a computer shop they would test it for you and be able to tell more than just the volts the current capabilities too. They might charge you (no pun LOL!!) for doing it but at least you would know - just don't be sucked into buying a new one by some unscrupulous bloke.
