A while back I lost my AC adapter for laptop & bought a universal adapter/charger. I have recently learned that sometimes these gadgets overcharge & ruin motherboard. I would like to see a utility, small like a widget, that would tell me the incoming voltage while it is attached, maybe even compared to what the laptop should have. I did a brief google search & don't see that there is one available. Can it even be done?
