Dell Latitude E6410 power issues

[jameseaken]

Hello all, E6410 works great plugged into adapter with battery out. Plug battery in while on shuts laptop off. Will not charge battery, new battery and new adapter. What could I look for internally to isolate the problem?

Thanks in advance

Most likely looking for a short.

Check resistance on the + and - connectors for the battery on the laptop.

What is the brand of your motherboard. There are two motherboard for the E6410.

I would at first check for the charger chip which in this laptop is an PU10, ISL chip marked ISL88731. Try connecting power adapter to stripped motherboard and see if its warming up, if not connect the bat and check it again, se if the ceramic caps around that chip are shortened to ground.

hello again, here's the update. Please correct me if I;m wrong? But I don't think I'm supposed to have 19v at the laptop side of the battery connector? and if not what would be the issue? Some kind of voltage regulator etc? Thanks again for your help.

Battery 's got max 12.xx v because they got 11.7v in generak.
So in order to charge it needs to be over with 1 v max.

The fet that opens for that 12v its broken and it leaks the full 19v.
