    Acer SF314-52 charging

    Hey guys,
    I got problem with Acer SF314-52. Problem is that laptop wont charge battery, I did put new battery which was on about 60%, and laptop was plugged all the time and battery went to 1%. Laptop is normally working on charger.
    I did try to replace first two mosfets --> same problem
    I did try to replace BQ chip --> same problem

    I measure that on coil next to the battery connector (which is connected with + of connector) I got about 3,5V.

    I don't have idea anymore, what is next to check?

    Tnx

    Re: Acer SF314-52 charging

    1) is the battery pack detected ?

    2) what is the voltage of +BAT_CON with the battery & adapter connected ?

    3) Remove all power. Meter in DC volts scale. Measure the voltage of +BAT_CON (without adapter connected).

    I measure that on coil next to the battery connector (which is connected with + of connector) I got about 3,5V.
    Is the reading of the coil L8800, pin # 2 ?

    What is the reading in volts ?

    4) Also measure the voltage @ AC_BAT_SYS with the battery only connected.

      Re: Acer SF314-52 charging

      1.) yea battery pack is detected

      2.) +batt con with ac adapter plugged in is same as without ac adapter. (it is battery voltage, I did try with serveral batteries, and did try all of that batteries in other Acer and they all work normally)

      3.) yea on coil L8800 I got 3V with battery disconnected and charger plugged in.

      4.) bat_sys with just battery 15.08V and with charger connected is jumping from 15.08V to 19.67V every second

        This is ok since you do not have a battery connected so no job to do..

        1) Attach the battery and the adapter. What is the voltage @ L8800, pin # 2?

        2) Your battery is showing a voltage ~15.08V which is ok.

        3) Remove all power (no battery) -> meter in resistance mode.

        Check the status of the battery mosfet @ Q8802 as follows:

        source (1-2-3) & drain (5-6-7-8)
        source (1-2-3) & gate (4)
        gate (4) & drain (5-6-7-8)

        Post your measurements and the meter scale used for each. If you see '1' on the meter, switch to the next higher resistance scale.

        We are checking for a low resistance which often means the mosfet is defective.

            source (1-2-3) & drain (5-6-7-8) 165k Ohm
            source (1-2-3) & gate (4) 5,9M Ohm
            gate (4) & drain (5-6-7-8) no reading (did try 100 times)


            Try to replace it or that's normal?

              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...

              Acer A315-41G similar to AN515-42, AC OK Battery OK but not charging
              by titomno2
              Hi guys,
              I currently trying to figure out why the laptop of my friend did not charge.
              It is a Acer AN515-42 (Ryzen 5 2500U), I manage to make it works on AC and battery but no charging.
              At first it was not working on Battery, I discovered that PQ201 was knocked off and replace it => work on battery precharged on another computer.
              I also checked the small resistors between PQ312 and PQ201 and even if they are ugly values are OK.
              My issue, when I plug the charger computer off, it drains 0.25A during few seconds with amber light on (charging) then amber light blinks...

              ๐Ÿงต [Help] Acer Aspire 5 A517-52G โ€“ Onboard RAM Removed, BIOS Mod Done, Battery Not Charging


              Hi everyone,

              I have an Acer Aspire 5 A517-52G-53NB laptop.

              The onboard (soldered) RAM was faulty, so I physically removed the chip.
              I also successfully modified the BIOS using the SPD Removal Tool โ€“ the laptop now boots fine and works with an 8โ€ฏGB DDR4 SO-DIMM installed.
              โœ… System status:
              • BIOS mod is done (SPD removed)
              • Laptop boots to Windows normally
              • RAM is detected and stable

              โŒ Problem:


              The battery is not charging:
              • Power adapter

              how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
              by flat-earther
              I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
              So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

              but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
              So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

              How can I prevent...

              Acer Nitro 5 not charging but working with battery
              by Source Code
              Hello Everyone

              First I must say I am trying to learn electronics. I have an Acer Nitro 5. Board is LA-861P. The laptop does not charge but when it has battery life it would power on and work fine. I have use a multimeter to check the charger and I get 19v.

              Input on PBQ3 mosfet is 19v but no output or very low voltage. The voltage on PCZ65 and PCZ48 is 2v and it keep dropping after putting the charger for a few second. Battery pin would give like 0.200v declining.

              If I put the laptop off for like 2-3 months it would start charging again but I need to do this...
