Hi, I have a LENOVO IDEAPAD 3 14ITL0, apparently was working one day, dead the next. It has orange light so it does charge the battery (see photo 3) about 1A. Without the battery its 70mAh. Non of the coils have low resistance. The 3.3v is present, the 5v is present, 1.8v is present. power button has 3.3v, the bios chips have 3.3v. I tried removing the rtc to reset the bios, with no change. I tried to reflash the 2 bios chips, with no change. I tried unplugging everything from the board, no change no matter what 70mAh like in the photo.
Checking with the thermal camera, as soon as the adapter is connected looks like the 70mAh goes to the PCH, it gets warm like in the photo. The bq also gets a bit of heat but all voltages around are good. Since I get orange light and its charging I assume the KBC is fine. My guess is the pch is bad, I will try to check for shorts on the 3.3vLDO and alw_pch and 1.8v alw_pch, but I´m stuck. Need a bit of directions.
One thing I noticed, with the battery removed, and adapter, if i press the power button and while pressing i connect the adapter, the white light on the side comes on, the power button flashes 2 times, the it dies. Even when the light on the button came on for 2 seconds it was always 70mah and just the pch have heat.
