Remove all power and confirm the resistance across RE4456Comment

Good resistance. Odd that the voltage is only 2v5 on the ACIN# junction.
Once the charger IC is OK with the adapter voltage, this line should float like an open switch. At that point, this pull-up resistor should soft park through the ~100k ohm resistor to +3v.

I noticed that when the PC is turned on with the battery and charger, Windows shows the symbol of the battery charger inserted and says "Battery powered" and the battery does not charge. Can it help?Comment

Carefully flux and remove RE4458. Do not lose this part. Then power up again and measure the voltage to ground of ACIN# signal. You should see ~3 volts here.Comment

I don't have RE4458, but where the tip is I have 2.5V.
see you tomorrow

I see - they have shorted the PCB with a trace between pins 1 & 2 on QE4402 to replace the 0 ohm resistor.
Remove all power & no battery. Meter in diode mode. Red meter probe to ground. Black meter probe to the same point as above. What is the diode mode measurement?Comment

I found the diagram of the charging IC, PU100, and checking the voltages I realized that the ACDRV(pin4) should be 6V more than the battery charger, 26V in my case, but both with and without battery it is always 20V. I also tried turning on the PC with and without the battery and it works in both cases.Comment

What a shame. 52 Posts with all this mess and finally it turns out being a shorted DC-IN Mosfet.
Since you stated both of these were replaced, I have to assume you replaced them with wrong model, soldered them with the wrong orientation or something else serious happened.
However, 19 or 20V at Gate Pin is per 99,9% a shorted DC-IN Mosfet. This exact issue is well known causing the battery not charging.
Move on and confirm please.Comment

You're right, 52 useless posts.
I replaced them and tested them and they worked perfectly, now testing PQ100 and PQ101 again the source and gate are shorted, now I'll change them again and let you know.Comment

All resolved, a mosfet was faulty.
Thank you for your help and above all for your patience. I learned new things and in the end this is more important than the repair itself. Thanks againComment

I bought a Vostro 3400 motherboard (LA-K033P) to upgrade over my damaged Inspiron 5593 (LA-J091P) board. Everything else is ok except for the battery. This battery I am using now is already a replacement one since I disposed of the bloated original one. Back in the Inspiron 5593 motherboard, the battery charges fine and is identified just fine. However, with the upgraded motherboard, suddenly the replacement battery is labeled as "Not a dell battery". When I borrow a similar battery from my colleague (which did not have replacements yet), it is identified and charges just fine.

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... -
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... -
Hello
I have a lenovo idaepad s145-15API anf it dosent charge the battrery.
When i use it without the battery it works fine with the charger
when i connect the battery stop to take power from the charger and works only with the battery.... -
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad P43s. The laptop does not power on when the internal battery is connected, but it works fine on AC power alone (battery disconnected). Once the battery is reconnected, the system becomes completely unresponsive — no lights, no fan spin, nothing.
Here's what I've tried so far:- Power/EC reset (held power button for 60 seconds with battery and AC disconnected)
- Booted successfully on AC power only with the battery disconnected
- Visual inspection of the battery — no swelling, burn marks, or connector damage
