Asus ROG GA401QE (Ryzen 9)- weird issue

[gurj1979]

Hi guys,

I have pretty much just finished repairing this laptop after 3v rail shorted around 8 components.
Now I have the machine booted up with all voltages present.
Display etc etc works, I can get to BIOS without issues.

BUT - the problem is this.

Battery connected and is healthy. Wont turn on unless charger is connected.
Then I can remove the charger and it will continue to run from battery.

But if I turn off the laptop, it wont boot from battery. Have to stick in the charger again to trigger it.
All MOSFETs are good, no shorts anywhere.

Please help.

Thanks

Is the power adapter the original OEM and proper rated unit for this laptop?

The mosfets are still suspects. Remove all power and measure their resistance for a review.

source / drain
source / gate
gate / drain

Each should be hundreds of k ohms or higher else could be a leaky device.

Powers supply / chargers isn't the issue.
It wont turn on from battery when button is pressed.

Please read and try to understand the issue first.
