    Lenovo G50-30 fault

    I am an enthusiastic amateur who came across this board while troubleshooting my sister in laws faulty laptop.

    The laptop was dropped on to the power adapter. She bought a new PSU as it wasn't charging with the original but on inspection the plastic center piece had broken off in the socket.

    She some how managed to use it for a week or so with the odd complaint about not using the correct charger but eventually it stopped working.

    She had bent the pins in the socket so now when you plug in the charger the battery light comes on and appears to charge.

    If you turn it on the power light stays on for about 15 seconds then goes off, Screen stay black.

    I replaced the internal socket and it's still the same.

    I read this fascinating post which has helped to a point...

    Lenovo G50-30 Completely dead, no lights at all

    Were Bluemidnight provided a very concise step by step diagnostic and repair.

    My G50-30 is slightly different in that it's motherboard is an ACLU9/ACLU0 NM-A311 Rev:1.0 and unfortunately I do not have any schematics for it.

    As Bluemidnight advises I have checked the PSU and traced the 20v right through to PQ303 which is a 4835D Mosfet.

    Readings for this Mosfet are..

    Pin 1 20.4v
    Pin 2 20.4v
    Pin 3 20.4v
    Pin 4 19.1v
    Pin 5 1.7v
    Pin 6 1.7v
    Pin 7 1.7v
    Pin 8 1.7v

    Also Pins 5-8 are all shorted together.

    Will this component need replacing or will there be a short elsewhere?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

        by claws77
        my laptop is lenovo flex 5 14ITL05

        recently my power supply for this laptop developed a fault.
        which caused a short in my usb c port -- verified with a new charger.

        rant: so, i went to the repair tech in my country, he asked for a huge repair cost when i decided to get it done someplace else this "great person" nicked my bios chip, asked me to be aware for repair scams lol.
        I was stupid and unable to find the flaw at the moment. Another repair tech told me that my bios chip was stolen and an 8mb bios chip is in place of that. he told me that a 32...

        Strange fault on Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen. 2
        by cazi1001
        Hello,
        I have a strange fault with a Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G2 (Board No. NM-D011 Rev. 1.0).

        The first Problem, which I fixed already, was a dead TPS65944AD (USB Type-C) controller. After I fixed this fault, all functions working fine and the notebook run very well with the charger and battery.
        On the next day, I tied to start the notebook with the battery, but nothing happened. I started with the charger and on windows, I saw, that the battery was empty. And this was nearly impossible, because the battery was charged. I disconnected the battery and found out, that the board...
