    lenovo V145-15AST LA-G241P shorts out the battery charger

    hi, I'm writing about a strange problem on levono V145-15AST with LA-G241P motherboard.
    The PC turns on and works fine. the battery charges for 15-20 minutes and then the battery charger goes into protection mode. Already tried another battery charger.
    the charging LED flashes 3 red times cyclically when it drops below 20% and is being charged. when it reaches above 20% the charge LED turns solid white but turns off for an instant every 4-5 seconds.
    Charging chip is intersil 88739A

    I noticed that the components circled in the photo heat up quite a bit when charging. However, they do not seem to belong to the charging circuit.

    I await your advice
    Thanks in advance

    Nothing wrong with the blinking pattern on this platform-thats how this board behaves.

        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.
        NVDC charger configuration...

        ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet

        Highly Integrated Narrow VDC Battery Charger for Notebook Computers

        The ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T is a highly integrated battery charger controller
        for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. ISL6257 is designed for
        Narrow VDC applications where the system power source is
        either the battery pack or the regulated output of the charger.
        This makes the max voltage to the system equal to the max
        battery voltage instead of the max adapter voltage. Operating
        at lower system voltage can improve...

        Strange battery present behaviour in Lenovo Legion 5-15ARH05 mb model nm-d041
        by ferah831208
        Hello guys, i need help with this problem, I have a NM-D041 mobo, it came with low impedance in 3v linear regulator rail, the cause was a damaged EC controller ITE8227e-192. I ordered a new one and replaced it. This laptop have a different chip for keyboard management and it8227e pins for programming ITE chips are not accesible through keyboard interface, I flashed it using i2c interface pins with vertyanov programmer because laptop was dead and SPI flash didn't have power (only 3v EC) so it couldn't access firmware stored in SPI memory. I read SPI and extracted it8227 firmware from original BIOS...

        how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
        by flat-earther
        I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
        So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

        but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
        So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

        How can I prevent...

        Lenovo T14 Gen 2 Type 20XK Model 20XK0069US Odd Charging Issues
        by coasterghost
        For Badcaps Readers, Please note that I am hopefully going to present this same message to Lenovo to see if they have any insight to the matter as well and figured to share the entirety here for clarification. The System is out of warranty as it is but does have the option to have it extended.
