    Zephyrus G14 no power/charging diagnostic

    Hello,

    I am trying to diagnose this GA401IV laptop and found that the VOUT (pin 3) on the PU8301 step-down converter has a short to ground. Pin 1 on PCO8301 as well (has continuity to ground). Is the PL8301 coil faulty or is it the PU8301 that is bad?




    Thank you

      Hi inductor will almost never fail so it is the mosfet or capacitor

      When the highside mosfet fail better replace lowside and the driver ic too if it is dr mosfet just that.

      Hopefully it is just the mosfet and is cpu or gpu good.

      Good luck

          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...

          HP Probook 470 G4 - Power and Charging Problem
          by Scoff
          Looking for some help with this one if anybody can assist please? I have an HP Probook 470 G4 Laptop which recently started to intermittently failing to turn on, with intermittent white LED light(charging LED) by the charging port when it should have been charging and showing an orange LED instead. Definitely some sort of gradual failure. Now the laptop fails to power on at all, no charging LED, no Power Button LED either - seemingly dead.
          Stripped down to the bare motherboard. The original HP battery, when disconnected from the motherboard, is reading 0.00v - possibly some sort of protection...

          by SluggerB
          I have two TCL A30 phones.

          Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

          New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

          My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

          Extremely Strange Issues with charging and battery on Zephyrus G14(GA401)
          by DaLZy
          I have recently come into possession of a G14 that cannot detect or charge it's battery. Initially both windows and the bios agreed that the battery was on "0%" but the laptop was able to run without AC power. I was able to get the laptop to detect the true charge of the battery(26%) in windows for a moment but it wouldn't charge or update the percentage when the battery drained. I attempted a few more EC resets and battery reconnections and now the battery shows at 0% in bios and 100% in windows. Additionally the machine is extremely laggy when plugged into AC. When on ac power in the...
