What will be the effects of using a 12V 1.5A power source to a 15V 1A device?

Most likely, yes. If your device requires 12 volt and draws 1 Amp of current, a 12 volt power supply will give the required voltage and will be able to supply the 1 amp of current it needs to run.
A power supply that supplies a little more voltage might also work but depending on the device may cause the device to fail sooner. Much more than 12 volts will most likely destroy the device and result in a burning smell and smoke.
A power supply for less than 12 volts may fail to power the device or may make it run slower. This would be like using a battery in a device and as the battery gets weaker, it supplies less voltage and the device slows down or a flashlight get dimmer till it stops working.
A 1.5 amp power source is capable of delivering 1.5 amp of current to the device. If the device need less (only 1 amp), it still gets the amount it needs to function. If the power supply was rated at 10 A or 100 A, the device will still only use 1 A to function. If the power supply were rated at less than 1 amp. The device might not get enough current to run.

How do you check power supply working condition?
First I check power supply source is enable of disable. If it enable then I check my using device.

Can you use 12v 600ma instead of 12v 500ma?
Using a 12v 600ma source is allowing 12 volts and 600 amps of power. If the device requires a 12v 500ma source, the larger source is acceptable. Please note that it will only be drawing on 500ma of the available 600ma.

What is DC jack?
A DC jack exists for the purpose of supplying direct current to a device from an external source, as opposed to the batteries inside the device. The external DC power would likely come from an AC to DC adapter that you plug into the wall. Such a jack can also work with car adapters too, provided it it converted to the correct voltage. So using an external source keeps you from using the batteries. With some equipment, that can charge the battery as well, but devices using disposable batteries are wired as to not charge the batteries.
