    HP 250 G7 - Battery Issue (Lid behaviour)

    Hi everyone,
    I have an HP 250 G7 for assistance. I've changed the battery (the old was dead) with a not-original.
    It has a particular behaviour that I've never seen:
    With the lid open, the voltage is present on the relative pins. Upon a time I close the lid, after 5-10 sec. the voltage drops down to 0. If I re-open the lid, the battery keeps stuck in this situation. I have to connect the power supply to "resurrect" the battery. In this way, I can power on the laptop without any problem and also use it without the power cord. If i shutdown the laptop, keeps it with the lid open and try to power up, it works perfectly.
    I've tried with another old original battery that I have (with a different code but it's compatible) and the behaviour is similar, with the difference that if i re-open the lid without the power cord, the voltage rise up without any problem.
    It looks like the new battery has a sort of strange protection behaviour, i'm in contact with the seller but I don't trust their tecnhical skills...

    MB model: EPK50 LA-G07DP Rev: 3.0
    BIOS updated to the last revision (48)

    Anyone could advice me other tests that I can perform?

    Thanks a lot for your support

    Test the voltage to ground of +3V_LID when the lid is open and also when it is closed.

      - Lid Open
      - Charger plugged in
      - +3V_LID_R -> 3.35V

      After that, removing the charger with lid open: +3V_LID_R -> 3.3V

      Closing the lid without charger: +3V_LID_R -> 3.23V. After 5 sec., drops to 0.8V decreasing slowly to 0.

      With lid closed and charger connected: +3V_LID_R -> 3.28V. After 5 sec. drops to 0.8 decreasing slowly to 0. But in this case, after other 5 sec., the voltage rises up to 3.28V but after 5 sec. holds fixed to 0.

        SOLVED! It was a battery issue. I've changed it with another brand not-original and now it's working perfectly.
        Thanks for your support mon2

          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...

          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...

          Lenovo P43s won't boot with internal battery connected – looking for help diagnosing battery issue
          by code share
          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

          HP ELITE X2 1013 G3 weird battery issue
          by huzo
          Hi, so the old battery was getting error stated it's capacity is starting too get low and should be replaced, so the customer bought a new one and replaced it, but the new battery was also getting this notice that it's capacity is getting low and should be replaced, so i took the laptop for testing and the battery is charging at the terminal at 8.03V , the voltage of the battery is 7.7V, and drawing around 600mA when charger is put and the laptop is off...so that should be ok... but the bios system test doesn't recognize the battery and can't do the battery test and so is the hp battery manager,...

          Dell Inspiron 3542 (Cedar_Intel-MB 13269-1) - RTC battery self-discharging and Realtek LAN issue
          by danielsak
          Hello, I have issue with Dell Inspiron 3542.

          Motherboard marking:
          Code:
          Cedar_Intel-MB 13269-1
          PWB FX3MC REV: A00
          The laptop works just fine (on battery and power supply) and doesn't cause any problems, except those described below:
          1. The first problem is that the RTC/CMOS battery self-discharges after about 2-3 weeks after installing a new battery. I have been installing different batteries (GP, Duracell, Energizer) and the problem still exist.
          1. The second problem is the LAN network card (Realtek RTL8106E), which is not detected at all in Windows. The BIOS is
