    Battery not charging on a Toshiba B40

    Hello all, I have this motherboard, model: MR10F-6050A2578201-MB-A02 for a Toshiba B40.

    Problem is I can't charge this battery. Symptoms are:

    1) If I connect battery first and plug power adapter, the charger LED won't light up.
    2) If I plug power adapter first and then connect the battery, the charger LED light up, but it won't charge the battery, even though Windows says it's charging.

    I have replaced BQ24725A twice and the problem still carries over.

    I need help reading its datasheet, since I can't find the schematic for this motherboard.

    what voltage you got on BQ24725A ?

    write the voltage on pins
    Just cook it! It's already broken.

      When I plug power adapter first and then connect battery (LED charger is amber):

      1) 18
      2) 18
      3) 19
      4) 19
      5) 3.3
      6) 2.7
      7) 0.369
      8) 3.3
      9) 3.3
      10) 1.5
      11) 10
      12) 10
      13) 10
      14) 0
      15) 0
      16) 6
      17) 10
      18) 10
      19) 10
      20) 19.25

      But if I connect battery first and the plug the power adapter, all voltages fluctuate. (LED charger if off)

        SOLVED!

        Thanks to dycc: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...41&postcount=9

        Basically, I noticed PIN 3 and PIN 4 of BQ24725 had 19V (PIN4 must have 6V above PIN3), so I was checking all the mosfets and noticed one had a short, replaced it with a different model same channel (couldn't find same model) and it worked.

                    how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
                    by flat-earther
                    I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
                    So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

                    but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
                    So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

                    How can I prevent...

                    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...

                    Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
                    by serious_electron
                    Hello Everyone!

                    I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.
