        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...

        Engineering help - how does the charging circuit on this board work?
        by repair-it
        This board attaches to 2 12v batteries in tandum (Black/Red squares). There is a 24v power supply that attaches at the 2 pin molex connector (circled in red). I need help to determine which components run the charging circuit in an effort to determine a point of failure. There are multiple via's, making it difficult to trace the circuit. Nothing appears to be shorted but I wasn't able to fully test as I do not have 2 12v batteries available. My assumption is that the micro controller (red question mark) determines when to turn the charging circuit on & off. I'm pretty sure a regulator and...

        Nintendo Switch lite charging chip heats up and does not short circuit
        by fab13
        Hello everyone


        Small technical problem on a Nintendo Switch lite
        Here's what I noticed: the USB port has been damaged internally, with a short circuit on the power supply line to the small fuse.

        After replacing the USB connector, the short circuit went away and I can't see any other short circuit in the whole motherboard.

        When I charge the console, it seems to be charging: I get 15 volts and an amperage of 0.450 A.

        Then, after a while, the amperage increases to 1.1 A and the BQ24193 charging chip starts to heat up, as evidenced...

        I Would Like To Fix This HP Laptop, Model:15-dy5058cl
        by TurcoLoco
        Hello all,
        My first post on this forum. Looking at the "Beginner's Guide", I am in the second group even though I'd like to fix this laptop so I can donate it to someone.
        I am a computer tech but very new to electronics repair iow, a total noob but in the process of learning, hence posting here. The laptop was donated to me by a client.
        It is a couple of years old 15" HP Laptop, Model:15-dy5058cl, Prod ID: 8L5X9UA.

        The issue: Charger is detected but doesn't charge the battery.
        Laptop won't power on without the battery (not sure if this is by...

        Laptop battery charging circuit
        by piernov
        1. Some theory
        1.1. Introduction
        Almost every laptop has a charging circuit of some sort, that does a few things:
        • Manages switching between AC adapter and battery power
        • Manages battery charging and generates power rail to charge battery


        There are 2 different designs to handle switching between AC adapter and battery power and feeding the system:
        • Hybrid power boost (HPB) and traditional circuits without power boost (see Warning in HPB section)
        • Narrow VDC (NVDC)

        Texas instrument has a nice overview of these technologies with some more details at https:...
