    Charging a Dell D630 from another source

    Like the title explain, I have an old Dell D630 laying around, sadly I don't have the original charger and the generic ones doesn't work because they function under the one wire protocol iirc.

    I was wondering if I could charge it from another laptop, I have a Thinkpad , an old Acer 150, a pair of netbooks, etc.

    Luckily I found the schematic of the said battery, but I don't think that conecting the wires randomly would be a good start.

    Thanks for your time.

    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...

    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...

    Dell G3 3579 (LA-F611P) not charging
    by Robocop
    Hey guys,

    I've seen several questions about this exact issue, but I've never found the fix, so I would appreciate if we can start over the whole debugging process again from start to finish, for my specific issue.

    In the BIOS setup, (see pic) the AC adapter is detected with the correct power rating, the battery is stated as charging (when plugged in, of course), and the battery health is stated as "Excellent" (as expected, since this is a brand new battery purchased a couple of weeks ago). However, the battery never charges (the percentage never increases)....

    Dell Latitude 5530 not properly charging
    by 0x0null
    This Dell Latitude 5530 will not charge when turned off. when turned on and in bios it will charge properly and the adapter wattage is shown.

    I noticed that when in bios if the charger is unplugged the bios still reports the laptop as charging and the charging light in front of the laptop stays on

    When charging, PL4401 has a stable voltage of 12.8V however when plugged in but not charging the voltage alternates between 4v and 12v on PL4401

    Please help
