    Re: LA-G078P not charging

    Are you using the official and recommended power adapter for this unit?

    If not, the logic board can be throttled and battery charging can be impacted due to a weaker power source.

        Any schematics available for this board?

        Locate the dcin connector -> nearby should be 2x dcin mosfets. What are their topside markings?

        Nearby should be the charger IC that drive the dcin mosfets. What are the topside markings of the charger IC?

        Post close up pics if this region.

        From these details, we can better understand the charging portion of the logic board.

              This behavior is typical when you use a lower wattage adapter type than the product calls for, can you post what is reported as the detected AC adapter in BIOS and what is the adapter recommendation written on the bottom cover of the laptop?

                  That does not apply here, if the Adapter identification part of the board was shorted by the transient diode, he would not get charging when the laptop is off.

                      Measure the voltages on mosfet PQB13 for both cases.

                      Post the readings.

                              The gate voltage readings were not posted for PQB13.

                                  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.

                                  by Scoff
                                  Looking for some help with this one if anybody can assist please? I have an HP Probook 470 G4 Laptop which recently started to intermittently failing to turn on, with intermittent white LED light(charging LED) by the charging port when it should have been charging and showing an orange LED instead. Definitely some sort of gradual failure. Now the laptop fails to power on at all, no charging LED, no Power Button LED either - seemingly dead.
                                  Stripped down to the bare motherboard. The original HP battery, when disconnected from the motherboard, is reading 0.00v - possibly some sort of protection...

                                  I have two TCL A30 phones.

                                  Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

                                  New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

                                  My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

                                  Hi there. I am trying to repair an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 and it's giving me some trouble. I have access to SMD rework station, variable power supply, digital oscilloscope, thermal camera, multimeter, stereo microscope.
                                  This laptop will boot and run from the power brick and/or the internal battery, but it will not charge the battery. NirSoft BattInfo tells me the charge/discharge currents, so I'm confident in saying that it's not charging. In addition, there's no increase in voltage at the battery connector when the laptop thinks it's charging, not even a few millivolts.
