    A1989 820-00850 does not boot when battery is connected

    Hi All,

    have this macbook came in issues not able to turn on, found out the battery is blown(literally having holes in it). tried to do a battery swap and its still not booting up. However without battery connected, macbook boots up fine.
    Tried battery from another vendor, macbook boots but does not charge, system reports detects battery data and shows battery "service recommended". this at least tells me that the SMC/T2 is working.

    Tried changing ISL6240 chip and still the same. all 4 ports working fine,
    Checked current sensing resistors all good, and no visible water damage anywhere on the board.
    when battery connected macbook is stuck at 20V 0A, ppbus is low 4v< (normal at 12.6v when no battery connected). any hints for me to continue troubleshooting this?

      Measure the voltage to ground of the SMBUS (SCL & SDA) lines of the battery connector.

      Post the readings.

      Update:

      After the above, check the operation of the BATTERY MOSFET @ Q7065. Measure the voltage to ground of each mosfet pin cluster:

      source (1-2-3)
      gate (4)
      drain (5-6-7-8)

      Post the readings.

          This is resolved. SYS_DETECT_L is internally broken at the battery data cable.

              Lenovo P43s won't boot with internal battery connected – looking for help diagnosing battery issue
              by code share
              Hi everyone,

              I'm having an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad P43s. The laptop does not power on when the internal battery is connected, but it works fine on AC power alone (battery disconnected). Once the battery is reconnected, the system becomes completely unresponsive — no lights, no fan spin, nothing.

              Here's what I've tried so far:
              • Power/EC reset (held power button for 60 seconds with battery and AC disconnected)
              • Booted successfully on AC power only with the battery disconnected
              • Visual inspection of the battery — no swelling, burn marks, or connector damage
              • Battery

              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
              by Bowline
              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

              iPad Air A1475 Boot loops after replacing battery
              by trepachka
              This iPad was working fine except the battery was not holding charge for more than 40 minutes. I replaced it with a new battery. I haven't glued the battery yet, just inserted it into the slot and held it with battery screw.

              The iPad was powered on with the new battery and I am getting white screen with Apple logo for about 10 seconds, then the screen turns dark. It then cycles like this forever.

              I know the battery is working because the iPad continues to boot loop without the charger until it depletes to 0% and the message displays I need to plug in the charger.

              Acer Predator Helios 300 - will not power up if battery is CONNECTED
              by survivalbloke
              This was a no power initially. Thanks to your help, I discovered it was the first mosfet, so I replaced. Now, the device will power up only if the battery is NOT connected. As soon as I connect the battery, it shuts off. If I connected the battery while the device is off, it simply will not respond to the power button. I replaced the battery, and while I suppose the new battery could be faulty, I'm assuming it is not. I'm having the same behavior with the new battery. I measure .2v at the charging coil. Manually applying power to the + and - at the battery header, there is no charging happening....

              820-2915-A Wont power on with battery connected
              by beogeek
              Ok so this doing my head in and hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to assist.

              I've got a MacBook Pro 820-2915-A it will power on without the battery connected, but when the battery is connected it will do a 2,3-second fan spin when pressing the power button and then nothing.

              After measuring and probing around I found that R7051 was bad, reading high instead of 2.2Ω so I replaced it. Still the same issue, I have the green light on the charger but it won't power on or charge the battery.

              So to cut the long story short I've replaced U7000,...
