    acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

    hi, i had a acer aspire v3-372 with 2 keyboard key not working, so i disassembled partially the notebook, disconnected the battery, removed the keyboard connector, opened the 2 key and cleaned them with compressed air and after see all looked cleaned, i power on pc with ac in and all keyboard was working. after that, i reconnected the battery, but with battery only laptop was like dead. after some battery reset botton, wait some minuted-hours nothing changed. i suspected something wrong with battery and after ordered another one problem is the same.....

    that notebook should have some protection circuit and without reset it battery wont give any voltage from red wires.

    anyone know what to do or where to look at ? that acer laptops have always strange working method compared to other brands.....

    Take a look at SW3 Battery Insert,it should be pressed in when the laptop is assembled.

      Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

      it's 2.48 volt :| downloaded your schematic today, but yesterday i pressed both battery reset and both battery insert but nothing hapened. before doing anything i had that battery pin voltage with psu connected:

      pin 1-2 0 volt
      pin 3: 2.48 volt

      all other pin 0 volt

      then i opened the battery but 2 component (i think temperature cid were not communicating) so i soldered one wire, but today i tryed and now:

      with battery and psu voltages on battery connector are:
      1-2 2.7 volt
      3 0volt
      4-6 3.3 volt
      but pc wont start with battery only.
      ordered same battery model code, but that one is a bit larger (same code different type)

      edit: im trying with the other battery, as it has same working method. i'll post results here

      2.48 volt i assume because rtc battery is a bit low, but some rtx battery have 2.5 or 3 volt so 2.48 should be ok...

      edit2: tried other battery same result.... voltage pin with battery and psu plugged in:
      pin 1- 2.7 volt
      pin 2 3.7 volt
      pin 3 0 volt
      pin 4-5 3.3 volt

      without psu all pins 0 volt...

        PIN1-2 at 7V seems bit low though there are laptops models with rated battery output of 7.5V-i dont know what is the rated output of your battery but if it is rated anything greater then 11.5V, then your battery is deep discharged and may have entered in protection mode.

          Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

          yesterday i did bad measurement. battery pin voltages with also psu connected are:
          pin 1-2 2.7 volt
          pin 3 2.48 volt
          pin 4 0.3 volt
          pin 5-6 3.3 volt

          battery voltage is 15.2 volt. in windows hwinfo see battery brand, tell me battery voltage is 16 volt, charge level is 0% and wear level is 22%. before all that notebook was working fine with battery only, but 2 keys from keyboard were not working.

          tried also the second battery: voltage pins with psu also are:

          pin 1-2 2.7 volt
          pin 3 4.7 volt
          pin 4 is 0 volt
          pin 5-6 are 3.3 volt

          on windows it see battery brand, tell me battery voltage is 10.5 volt , charge level is 0% and wear level is 8.8%.

          this notebook has 2 switch. one is battery reset and one is battery insert. no matter what i press.... results are always the same.

              Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

              ok im going to disassemble the mainboard to check it.

              is it normal that both battery have 0 volt when not plugged in? if i measure red wire and black wire i have 0 volt... but ofcourse i know they are good....

              and what about that 2 cid fuse or temperature sensor i have removed from original battery? can i use battery with 2 wire soldered in it or better get a new one ?



              edit: pq4413 not present onboard. all voltages on pins are 0 volt

              edit2: i see pq4413 is powered by s0 signal, but laptop with battery only is dead so no power on nothing. it's like i dont have any voltage output from battery.

              is there a enable vout for battery when inserted on the computer ?

                Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

                tried both battery reset and battery insert button but nothing change

                voltage on pq4413 with battery only are 0 volt.

                with psu only i see on battery connector pin 1-2 2.7 volt. shouldnt ic generate around 12 volt even when battery is not present ?

                tried also with battery only and sometimes it generate 2.7 volt too.... go like 2.7 to 0.5 volt in a loop mode.


                edit: measured pin 5 of bq737 and is 0 volt... with psu installed

                edit2: measured pr4407 is 14.5k and pr4401 is 31.5k.... im going to replace pr4401 since adapter is 65 watt.

                edit3: replaced pr4401 with 100k and when installed is 31.5k . old resistor measured outside the board is 100k too.

                  Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

                  bq737 pin5 is ACOK#-so it should be low. So nothing wrong there.

                    and what about pin 6 acdet of 2.7 volt ? is that ok?

                    why battery wont let output voltages?

                        rtc battery is 3 volt at source.... somewhere lose that half voltage.

                          Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

                          good morning. today i did some more measurement: with psu only no battery

                          pu4402 pin 1-4 are 19 volt. pin 5-8 are 2.7 volt.

                          pu4404 pin 1-4 are 2.7 volt pin 5-8 are 19.5 volt

                          i think problem is that its not generating 12V_BT+ or that volts comes out only if battery need to be charged ?

                          with rtc only, no psu and no battery pu4404 pin 5-8 are 0.34 volt....; pq4301 pin 1 is 2.86 volt, pin 2 is 2.6 volt

                          edit: some other measurement. with battery and psu, pin 3 of battery connector get from 2.48 volt with battery only to 3 with battery+psu also
                          pin 4 of battery connector pass from 0 volt with battery only to 0.3 volt with battery+psu. with psu only ois 3.2 volt so that should be ok.


                          edit: ok i measured pin 1-2 of battery with battery only..... 0 volt then i keep measuring while insert psu and i noticed 12 volt coming for 1 second, then drop to 2.7 so i think charging circuit is ok, its just battery not output voltage. kbc or bad battery? with the other battery, on pin 3 of battery connector i have 4.7 volt and all other read are the same


                          kbc is ene 9028 so its programmable..... maybe it need to be reprogrammed ?

                            problem found: button battery-insert had to be pressed with the bottom cover case. after that pc charge the battery. now the original battery doesnt work but with the second battery it charge it, but battery is too big so im going to take another battery and do some test, but 99% should be ok

                                Re: acer v3-372 dead after battery disconnected

                                i have a question: the second battery i got was second hand, but unfortunately it was too big for that notebook. in battery info, on the original one was written output volt is 15.4 volt, but battery reading inside windows was 16.8 volt. the second battery has a rating voltage of 14.4, but after charging it for a while, it has 11.6 volt. is that normal or one lipo cell is dead ? it is a 4 cell so should be almost same as the other, or a bit higher repsect 14.4. i mean if one was rated to be 15.4 and is 16.8 the other should be rated 14.4 and be like 15-16 volt.

                                so in it ok or maybe it's going to die soon ?

                                  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?

                                  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.

                                  Highly Integrated Narrow VDC Battery Charger for Notebook Computers

                                  The ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T is a highly integrated battery charger controller
                                  for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. ISL6257 is designed for
                                  Narrow VDC applications where the system power source is
                                  either the battery pack or the regulated output of the charger.
                                  This makes the max voltage to the system equal to the max
                                  battery voltage instead of the max adapter voltage. Operating
                                  at lower system voltage can improve...
