    HP 2530p not charging (LA-4021P)

    Hello everyone,

    I have this laptop, worked all good and then one day, plugged it off, cut the power cable and since then it doesn't want to charge. However, the battery was charged all the way up so I could use the laptop for few hours. The battery still has some juice in it I believe.

    But, like the title says, it doesn't charge the battery.

    There is 19.36V on DC Jack and also at the first PQ300 mosfet.
    BQ24740 requires 19.36V on pin 28, right? I have 0.387V. Signal comes from CHG_B+ which is also shown on the line where the PQ300 mosfet is along with another PQ301 mosfet. I've made a jumper from PQ300 pin 4 to PQ301 pin 1 and laptop starts. Removed it after. I've also made a jumper from PQ300 pin 4 to ground, laptop starts. Removed it after. That was just testing.
    Replaced PQ300, no luck.

    Right now I'm confused where should I look at? My instinct tells me that battery charging IC is dead?

    I have schematics if anyone is interested to take a look.

    Read the battery positive and negative pin with a multimeter in continuity, interchange it and see if both side read continuety.

    If it does, then there is a short circuit at the ba3 side if not, you can troubleshoot with the laptop schematic diagram.

        Lenovo Y50-70 PQ301 overheating
        by costivl
        Hello,

        First of all please excuse my bad english as it is not my native language.

        Two days ago when i was working on my laptop i felt that the left side of the keyboard is very hot and after 1-2 minutes i felt a smell of burnt plastic, i turned off the laptop, then i opened it inside and i found out that the power jack that connects to the motherboard was melting, i ordered the cord and replaced it, i was trying to find out the cause for that overheating and i just learned that the mosfet PQ301 is causing the overheating. Just to mention my laptop works perfect on battery...

        ASUS ROG MAXIMUS PQ301 gets hot
        by iblackford
        Hi all,

        I have two slightly different (but I'm sure similar...) ASUS ROG motherboards that have essentially the same fault. They are the ASUS MAXIMUS VI GENE and the ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO. Both have excessive loading on the +3VSB rail, which makes PQ301 get very hot. I did some searching through the forums, and it looks like someone had another ASUS motherboard with the same fault, but there was no follow-up on what eventually fixed it. I feel like it should be a common issue, but I don't know. Does anyone have any insight on what components are most likely at fault? Does anyone...

        Dell AW 13 R3 with cpu failure blink code
        by loran
        Hi all!

        I was working on my emails and suddenly the system crashed in an instant. No life sign at all. Not even power leds.
        On the mainboard a mosfet was burnt (see picture) so I decided to replace the two mosfets with new AON7422G.
        The part numbers are PQ300 and PQ301 (see schematics).

        After the replacement the laptop shows 2 red and 1 blue blink code.
        That's a cpu failure code according to Dell.
        Does that mean the repair went well?

        I read that a corrupt bios could be the cause for cpu failure code so I created a bios dump...
