    X75VD rev3.1 power and battery issue

    Hello,

    I have an X75VD rev 3.1 which is driving me crazy!
    It does not work on battery but on sector, it starts correctly after a few seconds of waiting (between 10 and 50 seconds approximately). When it started on mains, everything is fine.
    If I put the battery once started, the PC cuts clean, as if it caused a short circuit.
    I changed the two mosfets (without conviction) which are behind the power board as well as the two capacitors, nothing better. So I tested the voltages and it's strange.
    I got 19.5 at the capacitor inputs but nothing came out for a while and once the 19.5v kicks in then the PC boots up.
    So I'm thinking of an IC concern but which one?

    Have you ever encountered this problem with this PC?
    A friend told me about the BIOS eeprom which caused exactly this problem except that he doubts it because of the problem caused by the battery.

    Thank you very much !

      Could be a bios fault but have no experience in that area at this time. Wait for others to comment.

      Remove all power. Using meter in resistance mode, check the battery mosfet condition near the battery.

      What is the charger IC for the board? Is it the one you have linked? The ic will be close to the battery connector.

      Post more pics but attached to your post and do not use outside links. Your post can use the attachment button so the pics will remain in this forum.

      I saw pics / ad for western boots for line dancing...do not need them at this time.

              Sorry but the image is too big to add with the forum system.
              In short, I tested the change of the BQ25A next to the battery connector but no better.
              I'm totally lost with this pc... I want to change the BIOS eeprom but is that really what would be the problem, it's not obvious given the problem with the battery, isn't it?


              Edit : i attach a fresh dump of the Bios Eeprom.

              Thank you.

                  Hello again,
                  I'm coming back to you because I couldn't make a lot of progress on this damn motherboard but I worked on an old card of the same kind, same reference but in REV 3.0 and not 3.1.
                  I found the failure visibly on the latter, it was a burnt mosfet.
                  On the latter, I had recovered the eeprom to repair another PC, so I took the one from my current one and soldered on it. It starts but does not display anything, no logo, no fan etc. I just have the Power logo and the Num Lock logo on the front. The Wifi logo flashes once and turns off each time it boots.
                  Is it a corrupted bios knowing it's the one you have attached to my previous message or am I wasting my time with this card?
                  Thanks a lot.

                          Hello,

                          I forgot to update this thread.
                          I found the solution to this damn Asus! It was a 10K resistor that was burnt out and preventing startup.
                          I changed it and the PC now works perfectly. Like what, sometimes we look far for what is ultimately quite stupid.
                          Thank you for the help

                              This resistor was connected to charging IC??

                                  ASUS X571 no power : battery issue?
                                  by mkdj
                                  Hello everyone,

                                  Mark and model: ASUS X571
                                  Symptoms: not turning on. There is only the LED battery indicator working. The owner of the laptop told me this problem arrived one week after having changed the battery. He then managed to power on the laptop only once, and then it never powered on again.

                                  Tests already made:
                                  - Battery is charging when laptop is plugged in. The LED battery indicator turns white after a couple of hours of charge, indicating that battery is fully charged. However, laptop won't turn on anyway, with or without AC plug.
                                  - I have removed...

                                  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...

                                  Lenovo P43s won't boot with internal battery connected – looking for help diagnosing battery issue
                                  by code share
                                  Hi everyone,

                                  I'm having an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad P43s. The laptop does not power on when the internal battery is connected, but it works fine on AC power alone (battery disconnected). Once the battery is reconnected, the system becomes completely unresponsive — no lights, no fan spin, nothing.

                                  Here's what I've tried so far:
                                  • Power/EC reset (held power button for 60 seconds with battery and AC disconnected)
                                  • Booted successfully on AC power only with the battery disconnected
                                  • Visual inspection of the battery — no swelling, burn marks, or connector damage

                                  Hi, so the old battery was getting error stated it's capacity is starting too get low and should be replaced, so the customer bought a new one and replaced it, but the new battery was also getting this notice that it's capacity is getting low and should be replaced, so i took the laptop for testing and the battery is charging at the terminal at 8.03V , the voltage of the battery is 7.7V, and drawing around 600mA when charger is put and the laptop is off...so that should be ok... but the bios system test doesn't recognize the battery and can't do the battery test and so is the hp battery manager,...

                                  Hello, I have issue with Dell Inspiron 3542.

                                  Motherboard marking:
                                  Code:

                                  The laptop works just fine (on battery and power supply) and doesn't cause any problems, except those described below:
                                  1. 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.
                                  1. The second problem is the LAN network card (Realtek RTL8106E), which is not detected at all in Windows. The BIOS is
