    A1502 restarts with battery connected (without battery no problems)

    Hello everybody,

    I'm working on a A1502 (820-4924A) that keeps restarting when the battery is connected. I've already tried a new battery. The problem also exists when the charger and the battery are connected.

    Without a connected battery, the machine runs without problems.

    Sometimes he brings a message like "Your computer restarted because of a problem". Most of the time he restarts without any message during booting up (endless loop).

    Does anyone have experience with such a fault?
    Thank you for every tip.

      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...

      Lenovo P43s won't boot with internal battery connected – looking for help diagnosing battery issue
      by code share
      Hi everyone,

      I'm having an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad P43s. The laptop does not power on when the internal battery is connected, but it works fine on AC power alone (battery disconnected). Once the battery is reconnected, the system becomes completely unresponsive — no lights, no fan spin, nothing.

      Here's what I've tried so far:
      • Power/EC reset (held power button for 60 seconds with battery and AC disconnected)
      • Booted successfully on AC power only with the battery disconnected
      • Visual inspection of the battery — no swelling, burn marks, or connector damage

      Acer Predator Helios 300 - will not power up if battery is CONNECTED
      by survivalbloke
      This was a no power initially. Thanks to your help, I discovered it was the first mosfet, so I replaced. Now, the device will power up only if the battery is NOT connected. As soon as I connect the battery, it shuts off. If I connected the battery while the device is off, it simply will not respond to the power button. I replaced the battery, and while I suppose the new battery could be faulty, I'm assuming it is not. I'm having the same behavior with the new battery. I measure .2v at the charging coil. Manually applying power to the + and - at the battery header, there is no charging happening....

      820-2915-A Wont power on with battery connected
      by beogeek
      Ok so this doing my head in and hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to assist.

      I've got a MacBook Pro 820-2915-A it will power on without the battery connected, but when the battery is connected it will do a 2,3-second fan spin when pressing the power button and then nothing.

      After measuring and probing around I found that R7051 was bad, reading high instead of 2.2Ω so I replaced it. Still the same issue, I have the green light on the charger but it won't power on or charge the battery.

      So to cut the long story short I've replaced U7000,...

      Macbook Pro 13'' 2017 A1708 Won't power on with battery connected.
      by platinumsteel
      Hi guys i have a 820-00840 that works fine and boots up as long a battery is not connected. I initially thought it was a bad battery so i went ahead and bought a new battery for it and slapped it in yesterday and realize that the same fault exists. When i screw in the battery and connect the little battery strip and i press the power button it will not power on.At that time If i connect the charger i get fan spin for 10 seconds then stops but the machine won't power on.If i disconnect the little battery strip and re-plug the charger the machine boots as normal.It's not the battery connector strip...
