If the back pins are floating, does the repair guys idea make sense of connecting them to the board via a wire? Does this schematic provide and answer on where those wire should be connecting?

A lot of this is pretty over my head, but I will share all your responses with the repair guy as well.Post number #4 on this thread:

Diagram of where pins are. Ground in red and pins with little strip of copper in orange...

Great. Thanks for the tip on disconnecting, I will follow your advice. Just order a charger.

Also I have one crazy offshoot theory but I am an amateur in electronics, maybe I can slide by....

So obviously I found the schematic above... I found the DC in section (attached below) and it maps on eerily to the DC jack in my laptop.

My port has 10 Pins, 4 of which have a little copper (or something) strip which look like they communicate to the board. The guy at the shop said his main concern was that to two set back pins don't actually solder on to the board,...

Have been doing some research and been in contact with the repair guys since I last messaged.

I can't seem to find a 240W power delivery unit that uses USB-C. I can find cables that are rated for 240W, but most of the docks that advertise 240W actually only do a max of 140W and just split the 240W for multiple charging. I could totally be wrong, but that's what appears to me.

He also said that with a 130W USB-C plugged in, he was getting 4.5 Amps and it charged from 45%-90% in an hour. Don't know if that is good or not.

Also that it sounds like he is saying...

I just had them try to charge with the USB-C and he said it worked. a 130W charger he said.

Obviously the machine gave a notice of "low power input, increase power for quicker charge" type notification, but he said he noted % going into the battery.

What does this mean for me? can I operate the laptop to full performance using this mode of charging? it is a thunderbolt 4 input. and from what I've read online it seems like they max out at 100W in for laptops which is a lot lower than 240W. But maybe I'm totally wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion! at...

Okay I'll keep that in mind and communicate that with the shop.

Also in defence of the repair shop, they thought they had a plug for this type of laptop, but realized they didn't and just asked me if it was okay to bring mine and if all was good take it home. Obviously, plugged it in and said "good as new" seeing a stable connection, took it home, and didn't realize the charging problem till a bit of use. Didn't think to check this problem before leaving the shop....

While the repair shop is getting back to me about the above tests. I want to reiterate that the computer was 100% functional (aside from a loose DC port) prior to the swapping out of the DC port. The problem with the non-charging (while the charging indicator reads it is charging) has begun immediately after the installation of the new port, with no use in between.

I think this is a pretty big indicator of what is going on. Is it possible for a new DC outlet like this to cause a short or something? like immediately upon plugging in the power source? or is it possible there is an authentication...

Thanks for the great response. My laptop is currently with the repair guys but have sent them a screen cap of your response.

I'll let you know what they say.

Hey all,

I hope anyone can help me get a hold of the motherboard schematics for this system! Struggling with a really strange and tough repair.

Thank you!

Hi all!

My name is Scarfycake and am looking to get some help on my personal laptop repairs
