    Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15ADA05 Not Charging

    Hello all, need some help on a Lenovo Ideapad 3 in wich the battery is not charging. Weird thing is the light on the power button flashing.
    At what voltage should the battery charge? I'm measuring 4.1v at the current sense resistor near the battery connector.

        So it is not charging.

        Locate the mosfet mated with the battery connector. Read off the topside markings.

        Also locate the charger IC. What are the topside markings on the charger IC? Is it the 'BQ' style?

        If the mosfet is N-channel, the gate voltage needs to be higher than the source / drain voltage. If P-channel, gate should be lower than source/drain.

          The Mosfets are all n-Channel - 1x4513NH + 2x3W0E05 (according to the schematic it's AON7380 in a 3x3mm package)

          PQ203
          Gate - 4.37V
          Source - 4.37v
          Drain - 20.39v

          PQ205
          Gate - 4.41V
          Source - 4.41v
          Drain - 20.39v

          PQ206
          Gate - 182.6mv
          Source - 0.2mv
          Drain - 4.42v

            Do you have a schematic for this logic board? If yes, can you link it or post it?

            Being N-channel, the gate needs to be boosted to enable this mosfet. Trace the gate pin of each mosfet and locate a possible series resistor that will lead back to the charger IC. Need to know the charger IC pin.

            You should also review the ACDRV boost voltage. There is a usual 4k ohm series resistor on ACDRV. This line needs to be boosted to turn on the N-channel dcin mosfets. If it is low, remove the series resistor but do not lose it.

            Then power up again, do you see ~25v on ACDRV now?

                Very helpful.

                Attach the battery and measure the voltage to ground of pins 3 & 4 of the battery connector.

                On the battery, what is voltage of BATT+ ? This rail powers the logic board.

                  Pin 3 - 5.6mv
                  Pin 4 - 5.4mv
                  BATT+ 25,7mv

                  Weird stuff now the laptop shut itself off and wont turn on again. Main power rail is out
                  First Power Mosfet PQ201 at the source now measures 59.5mv?! instead of 20v

                    Re: Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15ADA05 Not Charging

                    Pin 3 - 5.6mv
                    Pin 4 - 5.4mv
                    These are low but likely linked to the missing main 19 volts.

                    Start with the 2 x DCin mosfets. You should have the initial 19v at the power connector - confirm it.

                    Apply this adapter -> confirm the 19v on the first mosfet. Also measure the voltage on each of the mosfet pins (source / drain / gate). Being n-channel, if GATE is not ~25 volts, the mosfet will be OFF. This gate pin is driven by the ACDRV pin of the charger IC through a 4k series resistor.

                    Often, the 2nd n-channel mosfet gets killed.

                      Re: Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15ADA05 Not Charging

                      Yes I do have the 20v at the DC IN, first mosfet has the 20v at the drain , but only 58mv at the source and gate.
                      2nd mosfet 112mv at the gate and 55mv at source. Drain 1.3mv

                      ACDRV with or without the 4k resistor has 64.4mv

                        Review the voltage on REGN pin of the charger IC.

                        It should be ~6volts.

                        Likewise, ACDRV will only be boosted if REGN is this voltage.

                        Post your measurement. If ok, then remove the 4k resistor on ACDRV pin. After you remove it, the ACDRV should be ~25v. Do not lose the resistor.

                            Often, the REGN will be ~6 volts which is the boost voltage for ACDRV.

                            That is, the input adapter voltage of 19V + 6 volts = ~25 volts for ACDRV.

                            The ACDRV may be low due to the shorted mosfet that is the 2nd one in the power path. As per above article from @Piernov.

                            You can also remove the 2nd mosfet to test again which is the next step

                            OR

                            remove all power and check the resistance of the 2nd mosfet to see if it shorted.

                            Source (1-2-3) & Drain (5-6-7-8)
                            Source (1-2-3) & gate (4)
                            Gate (4) & Drain (5-6-7-8)


                            Post each measurement. If you happen to have a n-channel spare - replace it and check again. After the above, yes, consider to replace the BQ charger IC but it is not commonly required.

                              Hi mon2, good news, laptop is back online and fully charged. BQ24780s was faulty. I found out that there was some corrosion underneath the chip and also on D22 wich is a voltage supressor (AZ5123-01F), that is connected to Caps Lock light, which is now not working and also Numlock light. Do you think if it is ok to put in a 0 ohm resistor, bridge it or replace it with a filter

                                Good.

                                See attached. The diode @ D22 and others in the posted partial schematic are ESD transient devices that will be not active till there is a transient (surge). At that point, they will shunt the voltage spike to ground and often short circuit.

                                Respectively, you DO NOT bridge / short these pads. These are devices that camp on the signal rail and jump in to protect the line if there is a nasty surge voltage event.

                                Also note the '@' suffix which often means the part is NOT stuffed during PCB assembly time. Are you sure there were these parts even on your logic board.

                                A nice to have is to apply them if available but they will not stop the board from working. Each of these keyboard signals are ACTIVE LOW (noted with the '#' suffix = ACTIVE LOW). So if the line is LOW, the light should turn ON.

                                What voltage to ground do you read @ CAPS_LED#_R ?

                                    Well, in the end was the keyboard ribbon cable, it comes from factory with a very hard bend and coming from underneath the battery, removed, cleaned and now everything seems perfect.
                                    I figured out that D22 wasn't needed in order for the board to turn on, I just thought it was related to CAPS light in the keyboard to light up

                                      Well done! The ESD device is nice to have to suppress any possible ESD transient from the keyboard use, etc. Anything dealing with human touch = carpet static build up charge(?), etc. are potential risks to the logic board.

                                        VCC 20V
                                        SMBUS lines
                                        SDA 3.3V
                                        SCL 3.3V
                                        Current Sensing lines
                                        ACP/ACN 2.3 ohms
                                        SRP/SRN 21.2 ohms
                                        REGEN line 6V
                                        PHASE .84V with no battery installed(this may be normal)
                                        ...

                                        HP ProBook 445 G8 Battery not charging
                                        by Julian Bailey
                                        Hi all

                                        We have in a HP ProBook 445 G8 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. When power is connected the power LED light blinks 5 times then stops. Normally HP laptops will blink this LED 10 times as it does a self test when the AC adaptor is inserted. So there must be some sort of short somewhere.

                                        The battery doesn't charge, and is erratic on the MM voltage. Bench PSU LED pulsates when the battery is connected also. So the fault must be on the charging circuit?

                                        I have gone around the board with a MM and cant find anything

                                        Windows shows the battery fine,...

                                        Lenovo Carbon X1 Battery not charging
                                        by mferna14
                                        Hi, Working on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 1st Gen (Type 3444) Laptop. Came in for battery problems. Upon testing the battery, I noticed that one of the cells is bursted & has to be replaced. Ordered a Brand New battery. Now it works on battery but does not charge at all. I see in Windows 10 it shows the charging sign & AC power connected but stuck on 79%. I did a press-in switch reset at the botton of the laptop, but did not help. Checked the Voltage on the chip BQ24760RSBR, all seem to be fine. Battery voltages are ok 14.4v but on the battery coil L24, when AC is plugged in I only get 1.8V. Then...

                                        Laptop battery charging circuit

                                        1. Some theory
                                        1.1. Introduction
                                        Almost every laptop has a charging circuit of some sort, that does a few things:
                                        • Manages switching between AC adapter and battery power
                                        • Manages battery charging and generates power rail to charge battery


                                        There are 2 different designs to handle switching between AC adapter and battery power and feeding the system:
                                        • Hybrid power boost (HPB) and traditional circuits without power boost (see Warning in HPB section)
                                        • Narrow VDC (NVDC)

                                        Texas instrument has a nice overview of these technologies with some more details at https:...
