    Thinkpad L15 Gen 1 freeze on battery

    ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 with AMD Processor
    Motherboard code : NM-C741 REV: 1.0


    The laptop works flawlessly when connected to an AC power source, and the battery is in very good condition (30 cycles, original battery).
    However, when the adapter is unplugged, the system freezes within approximately 20–30 seconds and becomes completely unresponsive. Sometimes, this is followed by a blue screen with the error code "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION".
    Sometimes it restart itself and sometimes screen goes blank..
    Here's what I've tried so far to resolve the issue:
    • CPU reballed
    • EC replaced
    • A different battery
    • Core PWM IC replacement

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    I assume I2C_CLK_BT, I2C_DATA_BT lines are good since there is no problem with charging the battery

      The logical suggestion is to try with another known working battery. To start with.

        Thank you for suggestion. But as I mentioned, I already tried with another battery.

          Missed this detail...

          Maybe something wrong with one of the Buck converters possibly not able to buck stable from a lower voltage main power rail.

          Do measure a abnormal current draw from charger by any chance?
