Hi again, just a quick note:
I realized the problem might actually be my multimeter, it's an old, improvised one I'm using just temporarily, so the readings aren't very reliable. I definitely need to get a proper one soon.

That said, theonly pin that sometimes gives me a low resistance reading (but not consistently) is the last one at the bottom. Its value fluctuates a lot, jumping between OL and low resistance, which makes it hard to get a stable measurement.

Thanks again for your patience and help!

Hi, thanks again for your help[B]![/B]
I took the resistance measurements using a standard commercial multimeter, so the readings had some fluctuation (it was set to 2000K ohm range), but here's the approximate average I observed from top to bottom based on the photo I shared earlier:[LIST][*][B]Pin 1 (top)[/B]: OL[*][B]Pin 2[/B]: OL[*][B]Pin 3[/B]: ~150 kΩ[*][B]Pin 4[/B]: ~400 kΩ[*][B]Pin 5[/B]: ~500 kΩ[*][B]Pin 6[/B]: ~500 kΩ[*][B]Pin 7[/B]: ~50 kΩ[*][B]Pin 8 (bottom)[/B]: ~150 kΩ[/LIST]Let me know what you think or if you'd recommend a next step. Thanks again!
​Hi, thanks again...

Hi, thanks a lot for the quick reply!
I tested the resistance on the 8 pins of the battery connector using my multimeter. I'm getting measurable resistance values on the bottom 6 pins, but the top 2 pins showOL (no continuity).

Thanks again for your help! Let me know if there's anything else I should check.

Hi everyone!
Sorry for jumping into the thread after so long, but I wanted to ask for some advice since I have the same laptop and I'm experiencing a similar issue. The PC works perfectly once it's on, but it only powers on when connected to the charger. If I try to turn it on using just the battery, the power button doesn't respond at all no lights, no signs of life.
Also, the battery icon appears empty, but when I hover over it, it shows "100%".
Could this still be related to a faulty diode or another issue in the power circuit? I inspected the diode visually, and...
