    Asus UX534F Not charging.

    Hi everyone.
    I need some help, please.
    This laptop turns on but doesn't charge the battery.
    Works on battery and on charger.
    No liquid.
    Tested with 3 different batteries and same results.
    It charges for 5 seconds after plugging the charger with charger drawing up to 60W (on the battery coil it measure 16.5V), but then charging light starts to blink orange and it drops to 8W (Battery coil 15.4V) and voltage on the battery coil drops to the battery voltage.
    For now I just replaced the BQ chip, but the issue still there.
    Appreciate any help.

    Which charger IC is onboard? Link a schematic if available.

    Are the batteries the proper ones for this laptop? Known good?

    Suggest to remove all power. Meter in resistance mode. Measure the resistance across the battery current sense resistor path but directly on the charger IC. Compare this full path resistance to the schematic values (if available) or study the reference design of the charger IC datasheet. If the full path resistance is not close to the reference value, the charger IC may be turning off this power path.

      I tested the original battery again and it charges fine.
      Any other Chinese battery the laptop refuses to charge.
      Schematics are here:
      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...x534ft-rev-2-1

      All 3 Chinese battery are shown as 100% on the NLBA Laptop Battery Analyzer with EV2400 device.

        Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode.

        Measure the resistance between pins 19 & 20 on PU8900. Directly at the charger IC pins.

        The full path resistance should be ~20 ohms. Confirm it.

          ISL88739AHRZ ISL88739 Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet
          by Document Archive
          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...

          ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet

          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...

          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...

          how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
          by flat-earther
          I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
          So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

          but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
          So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

          How can I prevent...

          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...
