    acer iconia tab a1 830 not charging or power on

    Hey just tinkering and revisiting some abandoned devices using my new microscope and this tablet - acer iconia tab a1 830 was abandoned here a couple of years ago. We thought the Micro USB charging port was broken but the guy had told me he replaced it. I took the microscope and looked at it and the solder job was horrible it has a pin under the bottom SMD jack that should have been done with hot air. It looked like he had done it with an Iron by just holding it to the jack casing. SO I removed it cleaned and tested the jack off the board and it was fine so i soldered it back. Now I still get nothing past a little device marked KGJB4M but I can find no info on it.
    Would anyone happen to have a schematic or service manual for one of these?
    (I am mostly practicing and trying to learn more on board level issues)
    None of the components have the mask markings to identify their location.
    found a lot of user manuals but nothing else.
    If I knew what that IC was and pin out it would help.
    Thanks

    I will get some better pics using my USB scope in a few got busy for a sec...

    Hey i know this thing isn't worth anything but the idea is to learn by tracing the board fail and if i destroy it there is no great loss... I really need a schematic though. I cannot identify the IC that the 5v stops at and don't know if there is another rail of 1.5 or 3.3 missing that would turn the IC on.

    I figure practice on this as opposed to a $800 board....
    need the experience.
    Thanks!

        ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
        by flat-earther
        The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

        Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

        This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
        Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
        If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

        Acer A315-41G similar to AN515-42, AC OK Battery OK but not charging
        by titomno2
        Hi guys,
        I currently trying to figure out why the laptop of my friend did not charge.
        It is a Acer AN515-42 (Ryzen 5 2500U), I manage to make it works on AC and battery but no charging.
        At first it was not working on Battery, I discovered that PQ201 was knocked off and replace it => work on battery precharged on another computer.
        I also checked the small resistors between PQ312 and PQ201 and even if they are ugly values are OK.
        My issue, when I plug the charger computer off, it drains 0.25A during few seconds with amber light on (charging) then amber light blinks...

        Issue Description:
        I'm experiencing an issue with the charging system on this laptop. The BQ24780 charging IC is not working as expected. The main problems are:
        1. ACDET is missing (0V):, Reading 0V on the ACDET pin.
        2. ACOK is not present (0V): Is missing as well.
        3. No SMBus signals (SDA and SCL are missing): The SDA and SCL signals for SMBus communication are not present. There is no clock (SCL) or data (SDA) activity on these lines.
