    PB Easynote Ajax GN not fires up on battery

    Strange thing.
    The nb fires up normally with charger and charges the battery but not fires up with only battery. If I disconnect the charger while on it stays on using the battery.
    Mobo is an Asus t12j v2.2. I think the proper manual is this but don't know where to start investigating.

      Well i can't say it charges the battery very well.
      The battery led is always blue (i think it should be orange until the battery is fully charged) and inspecting the max8725eti chip i found the battery or the dcin voltage on the ref pin where it should be 4.2V
      I'll try changing the chip.

          what voltages you got on that max?
          Just cook it! It's already broken.

              Thanks for the reply.
              I get on the ref pin (pin 4) 19V of the charger or the 10,x-11,xV of the battery pack. I'll check the other pins.
              I don't understand how the battery is charged properly if the chip has this damage. I know it charges and the battery holds the charge however seems very slow to charge. Yesterday the nb ran memtest with battery for half an hour.

                      discharge the whole board!

                      take bios battery out! ALL

                          Thanks again. It's safe.
                          There's not short on the battery side and also on charger side. I started to hear a whining sound and found that was the charger. The nb was draining all the power (65W measured with wattmeter) from the charger with battery inserted and also not turn on. Weirdly now the battery seemed to charge properly (the voltage raised 11,5 and beyond, i think it should charge to 12,something uh?). Where all that power went i don't know, i don't think all in the battery. Without battery the nb works, no shorts whatsoever...

                              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...

                              The Bauer power tool battery charger just has to many issues with the charger over heating because I several HERCULES Hercules battery chargers that are 3 amp charge and because they have gone on quite a few times over the years before they came out with the fan cooling battery charger I going to modify one so I can charge Bauer battery packs faster than the crape battery charger that they have

                              Here is how this modification is going to be done I taking a 1.5 amp hour battery enclosure and gutting it removing the battery cells and replacing some Ryobi 1.5 amp hour battery pack that...

                              by sam_sam_sam
                              I have two Milwaukee 12 amp hours battery packs that have an issue with battery cells very unbalanced these are probably over 4 years old and been heavily used in the past but now get occasionally used heavily and when I went to use the grinder tool the battery lost battery battery power very quickly so I decided to open it up and found some battery cells voltage from 3.6 to 4.1 no wonder the battery charger was not fully charging them 3 out of 4 LEDs were on meaning that it was only 75% charged

                              So I have put them on the battery testing machine to drain each battery cell down to...
