    HP ProBook 440 G3 not charging

    Hi,
    I have this ProBook that suddenly stopped charging.
    This is what happens:
    The laptop will only power on when both battery and charger are plugged. But no battery charging icon. As soon as I unplug charging cable, it will power off.
    If battery is removed, the laptop will not power on, even with the charger connected.
    This is the voltage reading on battery connector pins with both battery and charger connected, from left to right:
    pin 1&2 gnd
    pin 3 0v
    pin 4 0v (seems not connected,no wire)
    pin 5 3.3v
    pin 6 3.3v
    pin 7&8 0.2v
    any suggestion?
    thanks in advance

    Locate the charger IC. Meter in dc volts 30v or higher scale is ok.

    Carefully measure the voltage to ground of each pin on the charger IC.

    Post the measurements with the pin # of the IC.

      Thank you.
      Do you mean this 52-pin PU2 ic?

        I think you refer to PU1 ic BQ24780RUYR..right?
        I will measure all the 28 pins voltage. Do I need to have both charger and battery connected? Or only charger is enough?

          Yes, PU1. Remove the battery and start with measuring voltage to ground with only the power adapter.

          Meter in 30v or higher DC volts scale. Measure the voltage to ground for each pin.

          Post your measurements with pin #.

            If is your battery connector fully and corectly plugged in, I think that you have locked battery controler inside battery, maybe overdischarged few cells or burn fuse.

            That the laptop wont start without battey is modern bs, maybe is only dumb suspend with sense pin pulled to gnd...? Unplug battery and power up laptop and measure voltage on each pin again -> compare with previous data. If you measure say 3v on pin#3, you can try to pull it down with some small value resistor to 0v and see if it power up.

              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
              by Bowline
              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

              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

              Bauer tool battery pack charging with a HERCULES charger modification
              by sam_sam_sam
              The Bauer power tool battery charger just has to many issues with the charger over heating because I several HERCULES Hercules battery chargers that are 3 amp charge and because they have gone on quite a few times over the years before they came out with the fan cooling battery charger I going to modify one so I can charge Bauer battery packs faster than the crape battery charger that they have

              Here is how this modification is going to be done I taking a 1.5 amp hour battery enclosure and gutting it removing the battery cells and replacing some Ryobi 1.5 amp hour battery pack that...

              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...

              Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
              by serious_electron
              Hello Everyone!

              I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.
