    Lenovo T14s (intel-NM-C891) Low wattage on any charger - Needed tb ic image

    Hello hello,

    i have here T14s with charging problem - low wattage detected on any charger, it wont charge when laptop is on...show charging but not charging.

    For me it looks like problem with thunderbolt firmware stored inside U5502 (MX25L80) because laptop is bios locked and u5502 looks soldered...maybe someone means, that it is bios for unlock it with patch method.

    So first will be maybe good to test flash good thinderbolt firmware.

    Anyone have image ?

    It is T14s, intel 10gen,GT4A3/GX3A2 NM-C891.

    Attached image if ic...for me looks like filled only with zeros

      Problem solved

      I have flashed tbt spi with zeros (not sure it was needed) - labtop booted into win but not charging message still and no tbt in device manager.

      Downloaded tbt firmware update doesnt work because tbt was not detected.
      Soo update was extracted and TBT.BIN was flashed to spi.

      Rebooted but still same.

      Then i have disconnected all batteries and press rst button on mobo for few seconds.
      Reconnected batteries,connected charger and power on...charging led makes purple flashing and power led / keyboard baclight flashes soo.
      This flashing and rebooting takes maybe 30 seconds - I thought the laptop is dead.

      ...and finally voila laptop boots without charger wattage error. Windows have detected thunderbolt in device manager , firmware version is visible and battery charges without problem

                    ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
                    by flat-earther
                    The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

                    Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

                    This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
                    Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
                    If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

                    Lenovo T460 Only Charges on One Charger
                    by motormayhem
                    Laptop Question
                    Hello,
                    I'm working on a Lenovo T460 that has been having trouble charging as of late. Its worked well since I've owned it for a few years. When I went to use it the other day it was dead and wouldn't turn on (was sitting on an Anker 65W GaN charger). After some fiddling with the charger I got it to turn on and start charging, but seemed like the charger was not working as it should (took a few plug and unplug cycles to get it to start charging).

                    A day later it was dead again and wouldn't boot/charge no matter what I did. No lights or anything when...

                    by Document Archive
                    The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
                    configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
                    charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
                    4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
                    the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
                    the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
                    charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
                    bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.

                    Dell Inspiron 5406 2-in-1 - Not Charging / Charger wattage cannot be determined
                    by Ado02
                    Hi,

                    Not charging / The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined

                    Tried a different charger, but the problem didn't go away.

                    Where do I start?
