Hi, I got this Asus laptop as not working. I have found a shorted cap on VIN_VCC_CORE line. I have removed it - laptop started working, showed orange charging LED, but didn't charge the battery and showed it as dead in Windows.
Then I tried to inject some voltage to battery connector - it started taking charge and then showed as 70% charged in Win and laptop was working on battery, but still didn't charge it. Somebody advised me to discharge it, maybe it need to cycle or something. So now battery is discharged and still doesn't charge...
I charged it with power supply to 12V directly on the cells, but it doesn't want to take charge over the connector, like it did before.
I left if plugged over night, so it can catch up, but then I couldn't start the laptop at all. No charging light, nothing. I tried unplugging the battery, AC connector, everything... I left it for a day and it works again on AC.
I don't have a schematic for this laptop, but I found a boardview for DABKLGMB8D0 here on forum. It's mostly the same.
Where should I look now? I don't have much experience with laptops, I repair iPhone motherboards most of the time.
Thanks
