    Strange fault on Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen. 2

    Hello,
    I have a strange fault with a Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G2 (Board No. NM-D011 Rev. 1.0).

    The first Problem, which I fixed already, was a dead TPS65944AD (USB Type-C) controller. After I fixed this fault, all functions working fine and the notebook run very well with the charger and battery.
    On the next day, I tied to start the notebook with the battery, but nothing happened. I started with the charger and on windows, I saw, that the battery was empty. And this was nearly impossible, because the battery was charged. I disconnected the battery and found out, that the board took around 100 mA if it is off. I replaced the BQ25710 (Battery Charge Controller) and the single board (without any connections) take around 60 mA.
    I checked every trace with the multimeter and I injected power with the power supply, but I doesn't find any (parcel) short. If I take out the BQ-chip, the board take only 10 mA and this is fine.
    And now, on this point, I haven't any further Idea.
    Had somebody any idea or know this kind of fault?

    1) board runs ok with the type C adapter?

    2) board runs ok if using a pre-charged battery?

    3) board is not charging the battery?

    4) test with another known good battery. Try Amazon since you can return the battery if it is not required.

    5) carefully measure and post all voltages on the charger ic with and without the battery.

    6) double check your soldering of the replacement charger ic. Often the fault is here. Does Windows report the full details of the battery? If not, check the smbus lines on the charger ic and the battery connector.

      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...

      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

      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...
