    Zbook 15u G6 (PR/ID 4YW47AV) not charging

    Laptop stopped charging and battery was emptied.

    Initially thought that it was the battery that failed, since the battery symbol was indicated in the screen when laptop was switched on.

    New original HP battery was ordered and installed. Laptop started without issue.

    1. When power adapter 3,5 mm is connected Charging led is blinking 8 times white and stops. No Charging at all.

    2. USB charger is connected and Charging led lighst orange . No charging at all

    New battery is exhausted slowly-slowly (having 3%)

    Questions

    A. Is there any way to charge the battery independently Has connector with 7 cables.
    B. Can someone provide the charging sector electronic diagram?
    C. Any ideas, experience of similar issues
    D. Can finally the electronic schematic diagram be found. I found the "Elitebook 840 G6" which is claimed to be the same. can someone confirm.

    Thanks in advance

    HP Zbook 15U G6 battery TT03XL 933322-855 (External Charge)

    I have an issue with the charging section of the said Laptop (another thread) and I can only operate the laptop with the battery.

    But once the battery is discharged the Laptop is not switching on nor is charged.

    Problem is investigated

    Now the question is:

    1. if there is a way to charge the battery outside the Laptop (Externally) with a standard charger/power supply. (not recommended) but I have to try so as to operate the Laptop and get the data.

    Connector is coming with 8 cables (three red, three black and two intermediate blue yellow)

    2. What is the Voltage i have to supply (black cable are in Parallel, red cables are in parallel)

    Attached the details from the schematical diagram of the motherboard which I managed to find/bought

    Any help will be highly appreciated

        Hi.

        1) do post the schematic in the schematic forum and link it here. It will assist future techs.

        2) does the laptop function normally with only the power adapter? Does the laptop power up if both the adapter and battery are connected?

        3) a dedicated battery charger tool is often used to charge the battery pack. There is a popular one out of Romania but may not be practical to purchase for this single laptop repair.

        4) the raised fault is often linked to a leaky mosfet. Likely you will see 2*DCin mosfets in the power path. The 2nd DCin mosfet is a suspect. Post the details of the above questions to move forward. Do note if there is any liquid damage or other faults with the board.

                Thanks @SMDFlea.

                Attach the power adapter only. No battery.

                Carefully measure the voltage to ground of each pin of the mosfet at Q60003. Under this case, this mosfet should pass the power adapter voltage rail forward onto the main logic board rail.

                  Thanks for the kindness to support. I appreciate it very much.

                  Battery is disconnected and I have taken various measurements starting from the connector.

                  Please see the attached drawings where I have put inside the red boxes the figures I have measured

                  I cannot identify if anything wrong. Your further support/advice is kindly required

                  Furthermore may I ask you to give me some more details for the company in Romania for dedicated chargers for Battery packs?

                    Answers as following:

                    1. Already done by SMDflea and link modified

                    2a. Laptop operates normally only with battery. If battery flat laptop cannot power up.
                    2b. Power adapter connected (3.5 connector) no charging led lights, No charging of the battery, no power on of the laptop when battery flat
                    2c. Power adapter connected (USB-C type). same behavior as above. Laptop dead when battery flat
                    3. Have searched/googled and found NIP EMBEDDED. If this the case. it is true that for one Battery charge it does not worth. Furthermore it does not provide an 8 pin adapter (that particular battery is having 8 pins connector). If anything else available or any patent with standard bench power supplies charging, will be highly appreciated.
                    4. No liquid damage. Just suddenly failed to charge without any obvious reason. I have posted the measurements as per your second post.

                      Something like this (same vendor):

                      https://www.direct-charging.com/en-c...r-hp-batteries

                      In the end, they are applying a dedicated charger IC like the BQ series in an enclosure to perform the same task. The 8 pins are common contacts and still will feature:

                      B+
                      Ground
                      Smbus lines (SCL and SDA)

                      There is an option you can consider and that is the BQ development tool or clone from AliExpress. That tool with the software from Texas Instruments will allow you to debug and interact with the charger IC that will be similar to the logic board charger. You will need to interface the contacts on the battery pack with flat copper pads which is more of a challenge. Again, this is a USB to smbus + charger IC tool but compatible with the Texas Instruments software.

                        Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! US $22.50 25%OFF | Battery Repairing Unlock Modify Capacity Tool for Ev2400 Bqstudio Laptop UAV Software Teaching Materials Manual Free
                        https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLmiH1o

                        Personally have not tested the above but this is a good start. This is a compatible USB to smbus bridge that works with the Texas Instruments software, they claim. Next you will need a bq based charger board and a power supply to mimic the circuit on your logic board.

                        Then connect your battery to the BQ development board to use.

                          Comments: will check on the public options for this batch of tools. If not available, will consider to design one for the community. We invested some time into this early on but had a lab crash by a drunk driver so our building is in a state of chaos. Still rebuilding the facility. If there is a need, can design a pcb to support this task. Essentially an affordable BQ like EVM to support battery charging.

                            Thanks alot. I will be studying and proceed accordingly. Of course this is not an immediate solution, but it will improve knowledge in the laptops battery management system.

                            I might proceed with the aliexperss items, but it takes a hell of a lot of time to reach Greece

                            I will concentrate (subject to your and forums assistance) in repairing the board (subject also to spares availability).

                            May I ask you to look into the measurement I have done in the 2nd DC in mosfet (in case you identify anything wrong.

                                That is really very interesting. It might explain to me why a DELL battery which I have rebuild a couple if years back was not successful and why I could not charge it.

                                I have to dig in the old stuff and test it.

                                So interesting. Thank you very much

                                    The DC jack measurements look to be ok to me. One is the main adapter feed and the other is an analog voltage used to gauge the power rating of the mated adapter. The EC controller (8051 based) will sample this voltage using an Analog to Digital port to determine the specs of the adapter.

                                    With extreme care, can you measure the voltage to ground of the ACOK (pin 24) pin on the charger IC? This is the final status of the power adapter being used. If it is a logic '1' = ~3v3 then the adapter is accepted as being OK to power this logic board.

                                      I will measure and revert

                                      BUT

                                      I have checked with two different Power adapters

                                      and

                                      with an HP USB adapter (since this USB port can be used to charge the Laptop)

                                      Same Behavior with all 3 adapters no orange LED lights on

                                      Furthermore when battery was having some power (before it run flat) and I have run the battery /power test from the BIOS, it was saying that no power adapter is connected.

                                      Finally please confirm that measurement sent for DCIn FET were OK

                                        What is the voltage to ground of VRAVDD (pin 18) on the charger IC area?

                                        This is the voltage required to power the charger IC.

                                          HP ProBook 445 G8 Battery not charging
                                          by Julian Bailey
                                          Hi all

                                          We have in a HP ProBook 445 G8 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. When power is connected the power LED light blinks 5 times then stops. Normally HP laptops will blink this LED 10 times as it does a self test when the AC adaptor is inserted. So there must be some sort of short somewhere.

                                          The battery doesn't charge, and is erratic on the MM voltage. Bench PSU LED pulsates when the battery is connected also. So the fault must be on the charging circuit?

                                          I have gone around the board with a MM and cant find anything

                                          Windows shows the battery fine,...

                                          1. Some theory
                                          1.1. Introduction
                                          Almost every laptop has a charging circuit of some sort, that does a few things:
                                          • Manages switching between AC adapter and battery power
                                          • Manages battery charging and generates power rail to charge battery


                                          There are 2 different designs to handle switching between AC adapter and battery power and feeding the system:
                                          • Hybrid power boost (HPB) and traditional circuits without power boost (see Warning in HPB section)
                                          • Narrow VDC (NVDC)

                                          Texas instrument has a nice overview of these technologies with some more details at https:...

                                          since i couldn't find schematic or boardview for this model (LA-K062P), i use closest board model found here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...-and-boardview

                                          the schematic share same marking for each component, using same PD-Controller, same BQ25710, the only different is the battery cell used. LA-K061P uses 3S battery while LA-K062P use 4S battery per schematic.
                                          what i've done:

                                          Hey All!

                                          Long time forum member here with a problematic laptop issue!

                                          I got a RZ09-0196 with a bloated battery (still worked and charged fine) I pulled the old cell pack out and installed a new cell pack in its place.

                                          The laptop would not power on with the new battery installed without the power supply being plugged in.

                                          When booting into Win10 (all up to date BTW) I saw the battery icon with 49% plugged in not charging.

                                          TL;Dr version, old battery worked, charged but was bloated, installed a new non OEM replacement, laptop/windows...

                                          Hello everyone

                                          I have been working on this laptop mentioned in the title, it initially had a shorted capacitor. After I replaced it, the thing started working again, but there is still another problem. The laptop was running off a charger, the battery was reporting 96% charge... but when I unplugged the charger, the laptop died. I've measured the battery voltage - 0V. I think it is locked. (Screenshot from batterymon, below).

                                          I've ordered a new 3rd-party battery, but I think there's something wrong with it too - the laptop boots, but the battery isn't charging. Also,...
