So you saying if bq sees a little raise on resistance it will shut down battery charging? That's makes sense, I thought it would be something related to Hertz.

Great job 👍

Thanks!!

Yes Sorin i repeat if one of the mosfet is shorted, the laptop will not charge the battery and it will never unless the charger ic is faulty somehow...I've been telling people on my channel to stop jumping mosfets, it so unprofessional and amateur thing to do...Always give customers the best I know people resist change, they block themselves from learning new things, and exploring new paths...LET SAY NO TO JUMPING OF MOSFETS...I use to jump mosfet as well when i first started to repair laptops but after few months i understood that the charger ic is so smart, it senses and communicate with those 2 mosfets, if one is shorted, it will never allow power to pass

I understand but I used to bypass two mosfets and it charges , can you explain please ? I know in newer laptop the BQ chip won't allow that but how about older laptops ? I tried it myself in hp pro book board which first two mosfets was burned and welded to the board and I bypassed them with jumber wire and laptop was working and charging

Thank you Sorin for sharing your knowledge with us :) greetings from Brazil. Best wishes

Thanks

I've the same problem a compaq laptop (hp) turn on but doesn't charge i'll check the second mosfet..sure i need to check if the battery it is shorted.. thanks very much for your time

@Electronics repair school - I am so glad you made this video; I have had a Chromebook by HP that does exactly this issue; runs fine on AC power, but won't charge battery! If I manually charge the battery with my bench power supply, the Chromebook will work fine on the battery no problem, but won't charge it! I was tearing my hair out as I can't fund a schematic for this and could not find anything on the internet or youtube to help me diagnose the problem (results only show info for "no power" but not "no charging"!

hello Sorin question for you my friend has a HP laptop 17 inch D4L46EA#ABF hes having problems with his keyboard he sort of wacked it and run his hand over the keys as it wasnt responding he now has a problem with his keyboard cannot put his pin code in without one or more numbers appearing its just not working as it should what could be his problem will he need to replace his keyboard or try to reload his laptop look forward to your reply

Hi Sorin i am a recent recruit to your very interesting channel and it wet my appetite to learn more, can you tell me where i can get chip recognition information and how i go about to get a particular schematic information please. Many thanks for a very interesting program. kind regards Mark from Wigan

There is transistor that carry the voltage to battery if the ic chip detected short on second mosfet it will be not send signal to transistor to be open if you short the second mosfet you should be short on the transistor to.

nice heatsync, learning from apple

Thanks a lot, I have two laptops that do not charge. I was suspecting this kind of issue but didn't look because you said a few times this should not be the case. Great that you found this :). Thanks for sharing. Would love to know more causes for laptop powering on and battery not charging. I am sure the batteries are good, one Toshiba actually has had 2 replacements to try, no luck. Was thinking to check charging wires with an oscilloscope :). Thanks a lot of sharing and glad you and others learn from each other!

😊🤣🤣😂😊At last you believe me, great video👍

what if it see current on current resistor before it send signal to open mosfets

It is a kind and unselfish heart that will share such knowledge and experience. I have learnt a lot from you. Thanks a lot and God bless ...

Can there be no gate signal?

In the life you will always learn something new. Good video again ty Sorin.

Hi sorin thanks for sharing I've learnt alot from you, actually the chip that controls the two mosfets has a special mosfet short circuit protection, the mosfet has an Rds(ON) resistance when it conduct which create a voltage drop, current monitoring feature of the chip is achieved through monitoring the voltage drop across RDS(on) of the MOSFETs after a certain amount of blanking time. In case of a MOSFET short circuit, the overcurrent condition is sensed by two comparators and two counters are triggered. After seven short circuit events, the charger is latched off and the two MOSFETs are turned off to disconnect the adapter from the system yet another mosfet is turned on to connect the battery pack to the system (i quoted it from the bq24780s datasheet), so obviously what happened the mosfets when shorted the Rds(ON) resistance went so low then the voltage drop is greatly reduced the chip got the information and the adapter got disconnected ,and the laptop works on the battery.

did you solder your wire back on battery input?

i have learnt a lot from you Mr Sorin.... thanx a million

Sorin Happy you are back. Dit you had a nice holiday week (gaming 24/7😁😁)

You forgot to check battery voltage, when the laptop was with wire. It is possible if it was too low to not charging. Maybe I am wrong I am not professional.

I have fixed this problem before first open the battery disconnect the positive of the battery from the battery circuit connect it to the battery positive pin with a fuse wire, The battery will then have voltage connection at its positive and negative pins and the battery clock pins etc will be present and working. Using two bc 548 transistors a resistor and a zender diode of the correct values make a voltage regulator connect the input to 19 volts at board input connect earth to the board the connect the regulator output to the positive of the battery connector. Works on my hp same laptop same charging circuit shows charge percentage when it is on works on battery no problems.

Monday is a hard day

When I test the voltage with a multimeter from the charger, it shows 20v, when I plug it in the laptop, the voltage drops and starts fluctuating (not steady) betwween different numbers ranging from 13-15v but does not reach 0v and does not turn on the laptop. All it does is make the charger light flicker. The laptop works properly as I used another charger in it. Its a lenovo, and I now have 2 chargers doing the exact the same thing. My guess is that its a component inside the AC which is failing. Any knows what the problem might be?

Quick Question. Please what happens when you replace P channel mosfet with N Channel? Will it render the motherboard useless? Can it cause further damage to other components? How do you distinguish P Channel and N Channel mosfets without schematics? I know there are numbers on the mosfet and by typing those numbers on the mosfet in google, you can actually read the datasheet and know. BUT.. I've seen some mosfet numbers that don't have datasheet available on google. How then can one be able to always distinguish N Channel and P Channel mosfets.

Sorin, A plug-in mains power monitor is an easy way to check battery charging ( and other things too). Just plug your laptop charger into it and watch for the power reading change with the battery plugged or unplugged.

You could of just check if the voltage is going up on the battery. That is enough proof from me

So the question now becomes: How many laptops have you sent to customers that cant charge ?

HI, that is funny, 0.9 V was what I find everywhere on the motherboard I tested, then I discovered that it came from the gate or the output , of the first mosfet, and that voltage was all along the 19 V rail. SO I guess if I find again that value I will think of the shorted mosfet first

Nice work, Sorin you should talk about the right to repair do you think it should be a law that forces the producer to make products more easy to repair, also force them to sell all the components required for repair schematics included. Did you see the last surface on ifixit it has 0 score for repairability you have to destroy the case to get inside is this how thigs should be, also apple is trying to do with new products . What is your point of view?

we are all wrong at times. dont worry about it. at least you can be a man and admit it. nobody is perfect. i respect you for this. so dont worry when you make a mistake. we dont learn if we dont make mistakes.

Wouldn't you be better off leaving the faulty MOSFET in place and putting the wire link across it? Removing the MOSFET totally and then just putting a wire link there how is the signal supposed to work?

some times youre cunfusin

Does the gate need some feedback ? so if you just short the mosfet, that signal pin is open and thus chip wont allow charging? but laptop will get power and run. The two mosfets sort of work together? so shorting one will stop any charging?

keeping it real :)

2nd mosfet no charging? ... No. First time on the "fuse" you didn't try long enough and the charge control circuitry just didn't start charging, yet. 2nd time on the replaced mosfet you tried for longer and then it eventually started to charge. Remember, those mosfets at the input are just protection. One cuts out when there's too much current, the other one cuts out when the polarity is wrong.
