    Dell not charging battery LAF115P Battery and PSU Original

    Hi guys I have a DELL that does not charge.
    I bought new original battery and charger and when it turns on the percentage of charge drops.
    here is the link to the diagram:https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...oogle_vignette
    I checked that on the +SDC_IN pin I have 19.8V
    on ISL9538HRTZ
    Pin 17 = 19V
    Pin 18 = 5V
    Pin 19 = 3.6V
    Pin 21 = 3.1V
    Pin 22 = 3.1V
    Pin 24 = 3V
    PQB03 PIN1 13.5V
    PQB03 PIN5 13.30
    PQB04 PIN4 13.52

    all tests without battery connected, only motherboard on the bench.
    What do you recommend?
    When I connect the battery on PQB03 PIN5 10.5V but the status LED never turns orange, it stays off.
    Can you help me?​

    PQB03 PIN1 13.5V
    PQB03 PIN5 13.30
    PQB04 PIN4 13.52
    Remove all power. Disconnect the battery. Meter in resistance mode.

    Measure the mosfet @ PQB03 as follows:

    source (1-2-3) & drain (5-6-7-8)
    source (1-2-3) & gate (4)
    gate (4) & drain (5-6-7-8)


    Post each measurement. Each measurement should be hundreds of k ohms or higher else the mosfet may be defective.

            I knew this and thats why pointed you towards PS_ID. Very common fault on this particular MB. Repaired more then 10 mb with exact same fault.

              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...

              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

              dell inspiron 5567 laptop battery lipo WDX0R
              by ipatch
              recently i was gifted a dell inspiron 5567 for wiping the data on the hard drive. (yay me). however i already have a computer that i use, so i have no need for this computer. this computer wasn't without its problems though.

              1. i had to purchase an adapter to retrofit my older style dell laptop battery cable. (not too expensive) ~= 10 bucks for a 2 pack via amz.

              2. after that i had to find a spare cr2032 (easily found in my parts bin) and assemble a makeshift cmos battery thanks to some copper foil tape and some heat shrink tubing.

              got the computer...

              Battery not charging - Dell Inspiron 3593 FD155 LA-JO81P (REV 1.0) (A00)
              by lawrenceptrini
              Hi Guys,
              I am seeking some assistance with a Dell Inspiron 3593 FD155 LA-J081P (REV 1.0) (A00) laptop
              The laptop is working fine with the adapter plugged in and also with a charged battery.
              Problem is that the laptop is not charging the battery. The battery is recognized in the bios but the
              ac adapter is listed as 'Not Installed'. So for instance, when a charged battery from another source
              loses its charge, it stays on 0%.


              Measurements taken
              Charging IC (ISL95522HRZ) 32 pins
              Voltage to ground with ac adapter only plugged in:
              1)...

              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...
