    MacBook only work with dc bench power supply charger

    Hello guys

    Im diagnosing a macbook A1181

    Work very well when plugged in with a dc bench power supply charger, doesn't work with a normal apple charger 🔌

    I've never come across such issue
    I know I didn't post any measurements, but it works very well with the dc bench power supply charger

      Usually bad DC-in MOSFETs, sometimes gate resistors of DC-in MOSFETs or resistor between PPDCIN and ground.

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          DELL Alienware 17 R3 (LA-C912P) only work with 120w charger in mode low CPU clock
          by exerion5000
          Hello, I received this laptop with the following condition: When I turn it on, it shows the ALIENWARE light and the Alien button lights up, then it does not show an image and it restarts constantly, as the customer had already informed me that the battery was dead, I connected an original charger that I had it for testing, the machine turned on normally and I was able to enter Windows without problems, after a while of testing I noticed that it is very slow (like a Cyrix 425...), and after performing a CPU test the frequency is
          below normal, as if it were operating in an extreme energy...

          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...

          HP Thunderbolt dock G2 - "fixing" it so it can work without original HP charger?
          by double_DD
          Hi guys,

          I do hope this is not off-topic.

          I have this mentioned HP dock which is half-defective, as it sometimes work and sometimes not. But that's not my main issue at the moment.
          I don't have any more original HP charger, and I would like to "fix" the dock so I can use it without it. Has anyone tried it, or maybe does someone know how to effectively bypass the "comm" pin of the charger?

          Maybe someone has a schematic that would be useful? There are markings on the board that say P&Q 2019 CM-4 94V-0 E162264, but when I try searching...

          Macbook A1466 dies when charger disconnected
          by echothegamer
          Hello all,

          Working on my wife's 13' Macbook air. It's been in a box since she upgraded but I figured it could be good practice.

          Details:
          Macbook 13' A1466
          Board (820-3209-A)
          Battery OEM 7.3v 50Wh 6700 mAh (020-7379-A)

          Pictures below of Boardview and schematic...

          I don't know how to test the voltage on a MacBook battery. I just assumed it had an enable pin but the best I could read was 300 something mV poking around the battery connector.

          It's an older model and it is very likely that battery has become...
