HP Pavilion DV5 not charging

[nucleus]

Hello,

I have this lap top and common signs "charger plugged in, but not charging"

It could not start with battery and without charger. I measured voltages on bat, connector and there are few of them with around 3v. Is it normal and what do you think, is it charging chip or battery failed?

I have an HP eny15 which has a similar problem. The battery doesnt get charged and neither does the laptop run on charger. What could be the issue? I heavily speculate the charging IC or Power IC chip. Will open it up today for a closer check and then update.

It is not adapter because it works on it, it doesn't work when I remove it. It is or battery or charger chip

Ok guys, talking about my hp envy 15 laptop. There was a problem with the power ic -RT8206B. I reseated it with new bga solder, then re-flowed the ATI gpu and wallah! The laptop booted and worked perfectly. Details about the IC.
