    MacBookAir A1466 820-3209-A no power, no LED on the charger

    Hello everyone, most likely someone has already dug
    board, I was tormented for more than one day, when the charger is connected, the cooler twitches once and there is no green and orange, the SMC is now installed on the board LM4FS1AH .Voltages that I have : PP3V42_G3H on L6995 3.4v, PPBUB_G3H on F7040 1.5v and falls gradually, PU7000 replaced with a good board pin1 CHGR_AGATE 13v, pin2 CHGR_DCIN 14.7v, pin3 CHGR_ACIN 4v, pin14 SMC_BC_ACOK 0v no short 8Koh,pin17 CHGR_CSO_N 1.5v and falls, pin19 PP5V1_CHGR_VDD 6.1v, pin20 PP5V1_CHGR_VDDP 6.1v, pin27 CHGR_CSI_N 1.5v, pin28 CHGR_CSI_P 1.5v . Tell me please check what.

    Remove F7040. Power up again.

    Do you now have a stable PPBUS_G3H on left side of the fuse = ISL producer side ?

      i removed F7040 on pin1 PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG 2v after falls , resistance 0.4Kohm

        Re: MacBookAir A1466 820-3209-A no power, no LED on the charger

        Resistance = 0.4k = 400 ohms is very low so there is a fault on the PRODUCER side of this circuit.

        Next, still with no power, lift up one leg of the inductor @ L7030 (either side is ok).

        After you have done this, check the resistance again to ground on F7040, pin #1. What is the reading ? Do you still see a low resistance of 400 ohms ?

        Also confirm the resistance to ground on L7030, pin #1 = mosfet side.

        We are trying to isolate the components on this rail to determine who is causing this rail to be excessively loaded down = probably causing this switching circuit to shut down.

        After the above desoldering of the inductor @ L7030 - do not power up till we can figure out the bad component.

          Thanks for the help, I know that it is impossible to connect without L7030.
          I raised L7030 from pin2 , resistance was still ~ 400 OHm , after raise Q7030 ~2 Mohm -7Mohm on L7030 on pin2 and solder F7040 on pin1 ~2 after ~7 Mohm.
          Now I checked Q7030

            If I am following correctly, looks like you have a shorted mosfet @ Q7030.

            With no power - meter in resistance mode.

            Check the resistance of the mosfet across:

            source & drain
            source & gate
            gate & drain


            It is best if you can do this with Q7030 out of the circuit which I believe you have already done. With such low resistance values, Q7030 is damaged and should be replaced.

            Also check the mosfets in the same way @ Q7080 / Q7085.

                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...

                Lenovo T460 Only Charges on One Charger
                by motormayhem
                Laptop Question
                Hello,
                I'm working on a Lenovo T460 that has been having trouble charging as of late. Its worked well since I've owned it for a few years. When I went to use it the other day it was dead and wouldn't turn on (was sitting on an Anker 65W GaN charger). After some fiddling with the charger I got it to turn on and start charging, but seemed like the charger was not working as it should (took a few plug and unplug cycles to get it to start charging).

                A day later it was dead again and wouldn't boot/charge no matter what I did. No lights or anything when...

                The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
                configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
                charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
                4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
                the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
                the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
                charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
                bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.

                Dell Inspiron 7567 LA-D993P odd charger issue
                by Johndill
                Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 7567 LA-D993P that I've just got running.
                There was corrosion around PU1503 which shorted PC1518 & blew PL1504. (Reference pictures attached)
                I've replaced PC1518 & PL1504 & the laptop is now running however I now have another issue.

                Here are the tested scenarios:

                1. With the laptop running on battery, I plug in the 150W charger & the charger shuts off (no LED, protection mode) but the laptop remains running on battery.

                2. With the laptop off, plug in charger (LED says on) & the front charging...
