Lenovo Ideapad 320, no power, not charging, not coming on

[@antoniomicellomusic]

I discover you 1 week ago ad I can tell that I’ve learned more in one week than years of study! Best teacher ever!

[@roydivin2526]

the chip name is this LVS02897KB not LV5 :)

[@timothyokunola1518]

with the help of the videos i view here on this channel, i have been able to learn a lot. i finally got my own DC Power supply today and i fixed a dead laptop i have had here in my office for over a year. you all need to see the feeling....thank u so much Sir Sorin.

[@rsapodaca3]

What power supply did you buy?

[@zakaderechte]

@@rsapodaca3 it just needs to be a linear power supply, I'm using a switching power supply the so called rockseed rs305p but you can also use a switching power supply

[@oleglego3655]

I was about to put charging wires directly to second mosfet but I did not have the balls to do it. I found schematics, and the board itself is like 40-50 euro with cpu attached. But I tried your method and everything worked. Thank you , good man.

[@naonow7652]

same did this way and all is og thank to yoy Mr sorin

PF101 component is the fuse, its marking "L" means 7A/24V. The next component PL101 is actually the ferrite bead type HCB2012KF. Both inpot MOSFETs are N-CHANNEL.

[@jubzlightknob9560]

hello sir, you are my first teacher on laptop chip level repair and im always grateful to you for sharing your knowledge 🙂, pls dont get me wrong but this is 90% charging IC problem, because the gate of that first mosfet is connected directly to the charging IC..may God bless u more 🥰😍😇☝🏽🙏🏽

[@jeffersoncryssedeasis3673]

Hello, do you have a video on how you checked the charging ic?

[@SIXSTRING63]

Just keep doing repairs like you always have. That’s what we love about your channel. What you call dodgy is genius to most of us. If it works like it should when your done it’s not dodgy, it’s done and working.

[@gorky_vk]

@ let's not forget that "correct way" also fail, nobody ever bring working laptop to be fixed.

[@simonerachele6231]

it is already awesome to bring to life a non working board, consider the work under pressure thinking that if it takes too much time to get the job done that will be zero profit for the shop, and since the shop is probably not Apple Inc. even half an hour matters. I think it's beautiful how he can revive a dead laptop in just an hour and then be ready to move on to the next one.

[@vanrazvanper1443]

Same problem with a Lenovo idea pad 500s, I don’t solved yet,my opinion Bad battery. I hope will be a part 2 of this repair. La multi ani domnu Sorin!!

[@gelianirishevangelista2181]

have a good day sorin...best teacher here in youtube academy...thank you very much i learn alot from you

[@steveolsen2164]

The manufacturer does not want you to repair it. That is why they have priority chips installed. They don't have to publish the pinouts. They would rather have you return it to them for repair or purchase a new unit, Because of this you are forced to develop ways to work around the problem (be dodgy??). As you develop these repair methods you increase your value to the customer (and employer). You should never have to apologize for your knowledge or work ethic.

[@mrrrFox]

Yessss !! What counts is effectiveness

[@dandapanipathak5616]

Sorin you don’t know about your work, how holy work you are doing , you have changed my life, i had studied 3 years electronic but i have scared to open a laptop or any electronic device when I started to watch your video i can able repair the things, thank you sir, hats off

You wouldn't know how impacting your videos have been to me. God bless you in return.

[@stzan]

From "shop" point of view you are correct. You do not have a lot of time to spare on each laptop or phone.I have also a shop and I feel the same. Sadly or not we do have to make make money to keep moving and if a job takes a lot of time we have to give up some times and move on. From user's point of view it is a diffent story.

[@ictrepairs6963]

Στέλιος Τζαννής What do you tell your customers when you give the laptop back with no fix an maybe with further damages? I find this hard to deal with in such cases .

[@stzan]

@@ictrepairs6963 If fix not possible, I say I cannot fix it. If I need 10 hours to repair it, I say I need 10hours x 50€/hour = 500€, so better buy a new laptop. No further damages are done when I diagnose a laptop.

[@Cutezator]

Thanks Sorin for this diagnostic, I just discovered your channel and I love the way you are thinking and workind. Electronics without shortcuts is like doing world tour in Moonwalk :) Sometimes it is the only way to repair (yes, it should be used as last resort). Since client always want cheap, I propose 2 solutions : Cheap (shortcut without any garanty and only God willing) and expensive (board replacement, parts purchase/replacement). I inform the client of the benefits and inconvenience of each solutions. Many thanks for what you are doing, and "Noroc si sanatate !".

Yes really amazing, I thought there were no people trying to help in return for nothing. Personally I am totally grateful to all who are part of this Discord family because it has really changed my life. I have been having difficulties with depression and since the moment I registered on the Discord channel my life has changed and I have stopped thinking about bad things. I want to wish you the best of luck in the world and give thanks to people of good heart. I have a blog where I post much more organized material from study material, engineering, mathematics, electronics, schematics etc. A hug to all of you.

Tq very much Mr. Sorin I've always watch your video and learn new things everyday God bless 🙏 from malaysia

[@johnrhernandez2342]

This video is extremely helpful. I am having this same problem with a Dell Precision M3800 that I am working on. Customer had a damaged charging port, and a bad internal battery. Replaced both and the laptop ran for the rest of the day but I did not realize it was not charging. The battery icon on the task bar showed it was charging but it really wasn't. The laptop was just running off the pre-charged battery. When it finally died I had no clue why it wasn't charging with a new port and new battery. The symptoms I am experiencing is very similar to this case. No power, not charging, not coming on.

[@computersbyterry3558]

Sorin you are great at fixing things by your wits thats why we love your channel. Complainers are loosers.

[@michawojnar192]

Board NM--B301 have BQ24780 which drives the gate in this mosfet PQ311. This BQ has ACDET pin which voltage should be present on the gate PQ311. As a lesson the video is great, but the device shouldn't be taken out to the client because it could be make better. Don't forget of it Master. Still the best channel on youtube in learning the electronics! Greetings Sorin! :)

[@ernstgemeint3208]

Hi Sorin and a happy new year. First of all. I wanted to thank you for all your work here and thing you teaching us. You teached me a lot in understanding, thinking and doing. Nice that you want go now the professional way and want try to do no dodgy way :-) I understand that it can be sometimes difficult for a repair shop that have to fight with time and costs. As an enhanced beginner I wanted to give you a tip for next repair videos. Please noticed this not as an advice. Begin all repairs with volt checking from charger to charging ports on boards to batterie . Then do always when if possible and even if not necessary a bios reset. That should also be even if not necessary always the first steps in procedure. Sometimes like you showed it, it happened a lot in eg frozen io Bios chips. Ram checks or remove a hard drive can also be rare thing of not working or booting. This Steps are quick and didn't cost you a lot of time on start. Someone told me a time ago when if I remember correctly in this same case on Ideapad. That it has to do with the power management. The batterie discharged to low and is blocked to charge again or fully charged. What exactly it solved I didn't know anymore. If it was charging the batterie manual full to reset the charging power management on the mainboard that blocks it or the charging management of the pcb of the batterie.

1) There could be a pulse train on that first mosfet's gate? 2) you could miss spell the chip's number 3) that very first current sensor will provide its information only to the power management chip which is the chip you're after. The power management will eventually drive the gate of that very first mosfet

[@tahershihadeh7902]

3 years later, but I believe it was option #2. At 23'11'' the chip appears as lvs0287kb, but was googled as lv50...

Hi, I would try the second mosfet for a short circuit, I had exactly this laptop with the same problem. I bypassed the first mosfet and the laptop worked well, as the second was permanently open (I found out later), but the laptop did not charge. After I replaced the second mosfet, the first one worked as well and the laptop also charged the battery.

really ? that means 2nd MOSFET is the fault? I thought fault with BQ24780S (PU301) Charging controller IC.

You are a PRO.. that is how you can fix things with out any information.. it is not dodgy to fix it when you have no information! That is why we take our stuff to experts.. so that no matter what, they can fix it ... If the company doesn't put out the information to fix their products it is up the the experts to fix it for us anyway.. it might be considered dodgy to put a wire in and bypass a chip.... but if it works just as well.. so what.. if it saves me time and money.. I say do it! and the PRO knows how to fo it right! I used to have my own business for 30 years.. I know the headaches.. But now I have sold the business and retired..
