    HP 245 laptop not charging when turned on

    helo everry body!!!
    My laptop HP 245 AMD 14-FP5-6L -GDDR5X2 has a battery charging circuit error:
    - If not power on, battery charge ok.
    - if i turn on the power, not charging the battery ( the battery charging indicator light, from yellow to white)
    The laptop only charges when not turned on. I have changed the battery and charger, but the situation remains unchanged.
    I replaced the BQ 25A charging IC but the device only charges when not turned on.
    everyone please help me with solution, what should i do ?
    thanks a lot !!!!!

    Just a quick guess.. Is there any of those double-diodes broken?

        HP uses an analog voltage to define the power rating of the adapter. If this voltage is incorrect, the adapter will be considered to be too weak to power the board and charge the battery.

        This analog voltage is sampled by the EC.

        What does the bios report on the power rating of the attached power adapter?

          Bios has no message about the power adapter, i think the adapter has no problem, i also replaced another adapter, i also reloaded the new bios. the problem is not solved

            Measure the voltage to ground on each pin of PD2. Post each measurement.

              Check the 3-wire circuit of the charger output (pid pin) leading to the i/o.
              pull

                    Bat54cw make laptop not charging?
                    by julianmustofa
                    Hi all..
                    long story short when i disassemble a laptop (asus gl504gs) for cleaning. I found some component deliberatelly removed from the board by unknown technician.
                    turns out this component is a diode BAT54CW
                    For a power protection circuit
                    i installed this component and now laptop not charging anymore
                    its detect the ac adapter but not charging the battery
                    i removed the component again and know it start charging normaly
                    i just curious why this happen, i mean it should be there from factory but why when i installed it and it make the laptop not charging?...

                    Lenovo g50-80 charging led flashing but laptop not switching on
                    by B2L_Repairs
                    I got a lenovo g50-80 that shows charging led (orange LED flashing) and when I press the power button the white LED comes on but the laptop doesn't switch on. The fan spins for 2 seconds when I press the power button then it stops. This problem started when my charging dock broke the connecting wires and i soldered these wires back but I might have mixed them. I ended up buying a new charging dock but laptop never switched on it just shows flashing orange LED when charger is connected. Could the super io be bad? I don't know how to go about diagnosing and I can't check any board view since this...

                    ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
                    by flat-earther
                    The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

                    Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

                    This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
                    Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
                    If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

                    by reessi
                    Hello:

                    I have both these laptops that appeared to have the same fault so I thought I would have a go at replacing the PCH as something to learn, they both are using the same PCH.


                    I started on the ACER:

                    Up on connecting power no signs of life but current is consumed from the bench power supply and the PCH is hot.
                    All the caps on the top of the PCH are showing 0 ohms and the 3.3v rail is shorted.

                    I followed the videos from Sorin, Electronics Repair School on Youtube heating from the bottom to install. I practised on around 10 scrap...
