XPS 15 9570 will run from battery but will not charge/run from USB-C or the DC jack. The charging light does not come on, even though it normally does when power is connected (regardless of whether or not a battery is in the machine). So it seems like something is wrong power wise. Battery is dead so it currently won't boot. Machine specs:
Dell XPS 15 9570
Intel Core i9-8950HK
Tried 32GB DDR4 2666 and 8GB DDR4 2400 RAM
Motherboard is a Compal LA-G341P
I've tried removing the battery, CMOS battery, RAM, trackpad, keyboard, speakers, wifi, display, all nothing. This seems further back at a power problem.
To recap, I can run this fine from battery. However, the battery won't charge from either the DC jack or a USB-C charger. What's more, the machine (which should run without a battery if plugged in) won't run off being plugged in. I'm quite new to this but interested in learning, so please bear with newbie misunderstandings. I found a schematic (I'll avoid linking since it's from a site that watermarks the PDF and I don't want to violate forum rules) but am not very expert at reading it. I have some basic familiarity with a multimeter and am happy to try stuff and report back. Please let me know thoughts.
