That is correct since we have removed the voltage for the gate pins of the DCin mosfets by removing this 4k resistor.
Can you measure the voltage to ground on the ACDRV pin on the charger IC?
We are only checking to see if the charger IC is able to BOOST the voltage to the proper levels by removing a possible leaky mosfet which will cause the ACDRV to be lower or even 0 volts.

when i removed the resistor - i measured voltage on gate - pin 4 on pq201, and there was 0 volts
PQ201/202-Gate & Drain resistance-0mohm. What do you mean by that? It doesnt make any sense. If your meter is showing o, then lower the scale to 200K and check again resistance between G-D
Ok. Pin #4 is now the correct voltage to enable the DCin mosfets.
You have a fault with one of these DCin mosfets that is causing the ACDRV voltage to sink to 0 volts. The charger IC is behaving correctly.
As suggested above, remove all power and check the resistance of the DCin mosfets.
Often the 2nd mosfet gets killed and needs to be replaced. You can confirm the state with the resistance checks. If the readings are low, the mosfet is defective.

Post each measurement. Use lots of flux and heat enough to melt the solder under the mosfet. Be patient and the mosfet will dance in the melted solder. Then remove to replace.
Once the resistance readings are ok, apply the removed 4k resistor onto the board again.
