and see on the screen of the multimeter whether the output voltage of the charger is correct.

But if there is no supply of 3.3 voltage on three pins of your laptop charging connector, then there is a problem in the motherboard of your laptop. 

Due to which the battery of the laptop is not charging and your laptop is shutting down as soon as you plug-out the charger.
