Dell Latitude E7440 LA-9591P. The laptop sees the battery, its health, determines the charge, determines the power supply. But the battery is not charging. If boot into Windows, the battery charge icon flashes, but the battery discharges. Changed the battery - same thing. Consumption 0.2A The laptop has a very intricate circuit, designed for the battery of the docking station. For me it's pretty hard to understand what exactly is responsible for the battery charge: charger IC or batfet, or some chain of ic+ mofet+resistors/capacitors

Re: Dell Latitude E7440 battery issue
Review the mosfet linked to the charger ic.
Likely there will be 2 mosfets from dcin to the main power rail. Then 2 more mosfets that define the battery charge voltage (high side and low side). Finally the battery mosfet to allow the battery pack to power the laptop.
Remove all power. No battery. Meter in resistance mode.
Check the resistance across:
Source (1-2-3) and drain (5-6-7-8)
Source and gate(4)
Gate and drain
For each mosfet.
Post each reading. If you see "1" or "OL" on your meter, raise the scale till you get a reading. Checking for a low resistance which means the mosfet is defective.
PS: see the sticky above by @Piernov on the charging circuits. The above is a quick summary from that article. -
Re: Dell Latitude E7440 battery issue
There's almost 8V on battery + pin, when battery plugged in. But no charging. Due to the schematic, the motherboard have 65w 45w power supply protection. 65W is too much...looks like, it must work from 45w power supply? BTW now it works with DIY 180W power supply. Anyway, the current consumption 0.2A with battery, and 0.6A withoutLast edited by Sudoer; 04-26-2022, 07:40 PM.Comment

Re: Dell Latitude E7440 battery issue
Dells disable battery charging and throttle CPU if the one wire side of the charger isn't communicating (check in BIOS as to what is being seen). If it's unknown (and its an OEM charger), this is usually because the centre pin in the DC jack has collapsed. It can short 19V onto the one wire line, destroying the chip inside the charger. Sometimes you have to replace both to get it working.Comment

Re: Dell Latitude E7440 battery issue
Use a genuine 65W/90W charger whichever is specified for this model. Dell's adapter is problematic 'coz of PSID circuit. So first make sure its not the adapter.Comment

Re: Dell Latitude E7440 battery issue
Solved. The problem was with EC. Replaced, flashed. Works. Profit.
Have another two LA-9591P mobos. Won't power on. There's 3 and 5V powered up, but no 3V on flash memory. In this case, check U45 3rd and 5th pins with oscilloscope. If you see sawtooth waveform - replace ECE5048-LZY, because the EC do not send signal to open U45 and U45 powered flash memory.Last edited by Sudoer; 05-02-2022, 03:42 PM.Comment

by danielsakHello, I have issue with Dell Inspiron 3542.
Motherboard marking:
Code:Cedar_Intel-MB 13269-1 PWB FX3MC REV: A00
- The first problem is that the RTC/CMOS battery self-discharges after about 2-3 weeks after installing a new battery. I have been installing different batteries (GP, Duracell, Energizer) and the problem still exist.
- The second problem is the LAN network card (Realtek RTL8106E), which is not detected at all in Windows. The BIOS is

by Grucha98Hi, i have problem with dell E7440, battery is not charging. Idk all story. Original Dell Adapter broken up (its not give 19V) i guess first ac adapter broken up and it broken charging circuit in laptop. Laptop has clone battery (Green Cell)
Laptop works on clone adapter, and its not charging battery. Like on photo. I checked mosfets near battery plug. They are not shorted. But on PQ809 and PQ810 are low on diode mode (both 0.25V) I desoldered them and check on bench and they are good both 0.5V on diode mode. I checked only drain - source way. So its board circuit it should be higher,... - Loading...
