Hi all!
Usually I like to think my diagnostic skills are quite good but this one has me a bit stumped.
Laptop came in with a damaged very loose USB-C port.
I ordered the correct port and replaced it, all good so far. Now when I plug in the usb-c charger there's a solid connection, I can see that the charger voltage jumps up to 20V, and if I press the power button the laptop turns on.
Unfortunately, the charger LED stays off at all times and in Windows the laptop doesn't detect that it's plugged in, despite running off the charger even with the battery unplugged. Needless to say, this also means that the laptop refuses to charge the battery.
I have replaced the RTS5455 PC controller with one ordered from China with correct firmware, and also replaced the BQ25700A charger IC just in case but this has made no difference so far.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to troubleshoot charger detection on this model? Thanks
