    Is the proper power adapter being used? Dell will use the PS_ID single wire communication to ping if the external power adapter is the proper rated adapter to power and charge the logic board.

    Any complaints from the power on cycle about the power adapter?

      Yes the charger is of 65w wheareas on the system startup 90w is recommended.the charger what is being used came with the laptop itself.

        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

        by huzo
        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,...

        Dell Inspiron 3542 (Cedar_Intel-MB 13269-1) - RTC battery self-discharging and Realtek LAN issue
        by danielsak
        Hello, I have issue with Dell Inspiron 3542.

        Motherboard marking:
        Code:
        Cedar_Intel-MB 13269-1
        PWB FX3MC REV: A00
        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

        Alienware 15 R2 Service Tag: DL7NN32 ISSUE (Battery is not charging)
        by Simone Vergani
        Hello everyone,

        I'm experiencing an issue with my Alienware 15 R2 (Service Tag: DL7NN32). The laptop works perfectly when connected to the AC adapter — it powers on and functions normally. However, the battery does not charge. If I disconnect the DC adapter, the laptop shuts down immediately, as the battery is at 0%. I have replaced the battery with a new compatible one, but the issue persists. I also replaced the AC adapter with a compatible one, but the battery still doesn't charge.

        To assist with troubleshooting, I'm attaching two power circuit schematics:
