    Gateway NV59C09u only runs off a charged battery, will not charge/power on from DC

    I'm sort of at a loss here... I bought this laptop thinking it would be an easy fix as I have fixed laptops like this before. However I cant for the life of me figure out what is wrong with this thing. Its very noticeable that someone already took this thing apart and couldn't figure it out either. The laptop will run perfectly fine on a battery that was charged elsewhere, but will not charge a battery and will not run straight off the ac adapter. I know for a fact that the ac adapters works and is correct for the laptop. I also tested the motherboard with a voltmeter to see if it was getting any juice past the dc jack and it is. However it does lose almost all this juice by the time it gets to the battery terminals. I'm still very much a novice when it comes to low level repairs like this but am willing to try anything/post more pictures or whatever you need me to do to figure this out. Could someone who knows a lot about repairing pcb's help me out here
    This is the ebay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/251294843298...84.m1423.l2649
    Here are some pictures I took of a funny looking cap I'm not sure if its blown or not but it has slightly raised lines on the top, a google search of the numbers on it turned up close to nothing

    Heres a picture of the whole DC in area, the laptop does not have its own dc-in board

    Id love to be able to fix this thing without replacing the motherboard, I hate giving up on anything!

          have you got a schematic? what's the mobo model #?

          look for the charging IC model, find the datasheet and take measurements to see if it's getting power from adapter, test for shorts, if it isn't getting power trace back towards dc connector. there are a bunch of things before the ic that could go wrong: shorted caps, mosfets, resistors diodes transistors etc.
          post more info if you have it, also post the measurements you take along the way.

          good luck.

              How can I charge that battery pack?
              by razenxd
              Hello,
              it's not a laptop/desktop related question but I figured that someone here will have the right knowledge.
              At work we use a few Aldebaran(now Softbank/United Robotics group) Nao Robots which they use some custom 6S li-on battery packs.
              Nao robots tends to draw from the battery even if they are shut down, and the BMS tends to be a little aggresive, if the pack stays on a turned off robot for 3 months it's gonna lock and will refuse to charge.

              Now, I have noticed a few things.
              The "dead" battery, while connected to charger and NOT Charging will...

              Acer a515-43 low battery charge voltage
              by ruletero
              Hi

              Acer A515-43
              LA-H801P

              Fail: Does not charge battery, has low voltaje on connector.

              Laptop didn't want to turn on, only charge led blinked.

              I found PQB5 (mosfet high battery charger) in short, voltaje in +12.6V_BATT was 19 v ...

              I changed it, changed PQB6 too and now battery charger voltage is 4.4V but battery is 3 cell, 11.25v, then is very low to charging.

              Laptop turns on without battery and works fine, but with battery turns on and turns off inmediately, I suspect battery bad but I don't know...

              Charge a L19D3PDA battery externally from the laptop
              by Klevjetack
              Is there a way to externally charge a L19D3PDA battery from the laptop. I have a broken charging port on my laptop and am trying to find a way to charge the battery for it. I have been doing some research and I have found that there is a module, TP4056, that can be used to charge Li-ion batteries. It says it is used to charge single cell Li-ion batteries. The L19D3PDA battery is a three cell battery. Is it possible to use the module to charge my battery and it would just be very slow? Or would that be a bad idea. Is there a different kind of module I can use to charge my Li-ion three cell battery?...

              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...

              HP 15-cb028nl (dag75ambad0 rev. d) no charge battery
              by zaurus81
              Hi all, I have a HP 15-cb028nl (dag75ambad0 rev. d) that turns on but does not charge the battery. The laptop arrived with the super I/O (ITE IT8987E BXA) burned. After replacing the EC, it turns on but does not charge the battery. Below are the voltages on the pins of the bq24738h, with and without the battery inserted:
              WITHOUT BATTERY WITH BATTERY
              PIN1 (ACN)= 19.76 V PIN1 (ACN)= 19.76 V
