      Their cooling vents are a total disaster. They are blocked by the hinge for the lcd. I used one of these before, and the damn thing gave me pre-burn rashes on my legs!

      Also, magsafe is a total fire hazard. The magsafe adapters have a wimpy strain relief for the output wire, and the wire eventually shorts out and burns/melts in two.

        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...

        Hallo everyone, my A1398 do not charging the battery and the battery also do not bin recognized. I did all the reset work, SMC reset and all the other reset options but nothing helped. on the SMC at pin 2 (DCIN) there are 20,4V coming in. at pin 16 (BGATE) which goes to the Q7155 Gate there are only 11,43V. at the pin 1,2 and 3 on the Q7155 (Source) there are 12,23V.

        820-00850 2019 MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar (A1989) mysterious battery drain
        by gboone
        Hi, I was given this laptop by my uncle who said:
        • It would occasionally shutdown if not plugged in
        • battery had been replaced
        • touchbar would "strobe"
        I disconnected touch bar components and strobing and sudden shutdowns were fixed. Recent updates were installed to the OS.

        After fully charging the battery, with bluetooth disabled, no LAN cable and only wifi enabled, the laptop stayed on (screen on) for about 6-8 hours. Allowing screen to turn off while not in use, and it went for over a day.

        BUT

        When powered off, it would at some point have a...

        MacBook Air A2681 battery problem after Screen Replacement
        by mferna14
        Hi, my dear friends., Maybe this might be a stupid question or something I missed or do not know. I have 2 MacBook Air A2681 (Indentical color & EMC #), both LCD screens broken. Before ordering the LCD Screens I confirmed both worked with their respective batteries & AC Adapters, & they did 100%. The LCD Screens came in today & I replaced LCD for the 1st A2681. (Removed Battery Terminal cable for both Laptops before installation of LCDs). Perfect Screen & Booted up fine. But it did not work with battery. I checked the battery connector & it was seated in well/perfectly....

        ASUS X571 no power : battery issue?
        by mkdj
        Hello everyone,

        Mark and model: ASUS X571
        Symptoms: not turning on. There is only the LED battery indicator working. The owner of the laptop told me this problem arrived one week after having changed the battery. He then managed to power on the laptop only once, and then it never powered on again.

        Tests already made:
        - Battery is charging when laptop is plugged in. The LED battery indicator turns white after a couple of hours of charge, indicating that battery is fully charged. However, laptop won't turn on anyway, with or without AC plug.
        - I have removed...
