See attached. Locate the current sense resistor and carefully measure if you can read ~20v to ground. Ground is the large copper area of the logic board.
Red meter probe on the resistor; black meter probe on the copper area. Meter should be in 30V or higher DC volts scale. This check will confirm that the power path is ok up to here before it reaches the battery charger @ U1 = BQ24780S.
After the above check -> locate the square black chip with a 'BQ' topside marking and then share pics of this region. We need to check if the power path is ok at this charger IC.
