Hp 14-dy0505 not charging - the moment you start hating your job - a tricky fault

[@Andyyy982]

I completely understand how you must have felt. I repaired a german car that wouldn't start no matter what I did. The customer had had it at multiple different shops before coming to me. Eventually, in the process of checking if I had current at the primary relay for the fuel injection the car started. I had not fixed or replaced anything I had just gone through the various systems methodically checking to find the issue. I assumed it was a faulty idle control valve - which was common with that model, and replaced the idle control valve. I went for a coffee, came back and tried it again. It wouldn't start, to cut a very very long story short. I eventually found that the earth pin on the ecu connector had a cracked solder joint. In the process of checking relays and fuses I had moved the harness and obviously caused it to make contact again. It took several hours to find the fault and when I did. It was as simple as reflowing the solder inside and everything worked correctly. After almost a full day of work... How do you bill for that? Hahaha :D These are the jobs that make us question our sanity. Well done on getting it sorted, I always find your videos incredibly educational! Thanks Sorin.

[@nathenieldanta9731]

Bill according to the labour while you justify why...

[@joseph_donovan]

Your 'nothin' repair videos are the most entertaining and insightful Sorin. They also keep us on the edge of our seats waiting and wondering if you will conjure up a happy ending. Bravo!

[@antoniegill7994]

At 40:20 of video on the datasheet pin 18 description says if VDD is pulled below 2.7V the ISL95338 chip RESETS all the SMBUS register values to default. (The SMBUS enables PC to communicate with the low speed peripherals such as the BATTERY and battery subsystem and voltage sensors) I Suspect this happened when battery voltage went so low. Because you charged the battery to 11.1V and when you injected 5V into pin 18 of ISL95338 you must have enabled the SMBUS again (maybe corrected the register values) and caused ISL95338 to see the battery and trigger power supplies to start working again. Maybe next time check pin 18 voltage and inject 5V if you find a similar fault. (I am guessing here)

[@saduniwathsala]

Sorin, I only started laughing when you did.... you have a very infectious laugh and I have done the exact same thing when frustration with something can either lead to rage and fury, but instead it turns to laughter. That's the real person inside. Good natured, slow to anger, patience. Theses are great qualities. It's what makes you very watchable.

[@lizardking8388]

ATTENTION SORIN, this is absolutely going to blow your mind! I've been down this same rabbit hole with the ISL9538. You have been looking at the wrong datasheet the whole time. The chip is ISL9538, but the datasheet you're looking at is ISL95338, which is a completely different chip. Don't bother trying to find the ISL9538 because only the short version (without pinouts) is available. The ISL9238 (which is available) however has the same pinout as the ISL9538, so you can use that one. The pin number 13 is ASGATE (not ADPS) and it drives the gate of the P channel MOSFET that feeds power from the adapter. That's why you were measuring a voltage there; it's an output. It's supposed to be at ADP voltage when the MOSFET is shut off and it gets clamped 10V below ADP voltage to turn the MOSFET on. When you soldered that wire (temporarily), whatever it is you connected it to was being fed to the gate of the input MOSFET of the adapter and pin 13 driving crrcuit. My guess is you may have damaged the driving output pin 13 in the chip so it permanently grounds out the gate keeping the MOSFET on all the time. I can't believe it actually works after what you did; it shouldn't have. You have had a Mr. Magoo moment. I think one or more of the inputs to the chip is wrong and so the chip was preventing the MOSFET from turning on. Now that you likely blew out the driving circuit, that MOSFET is on all the time. I feel I don't have any closure on this repair. I wish you would do a follow up on this and confirm what I said because I believe this laptop is not fixed correctly. Anyone reading this please thumb it up so he will see it.

[@electronicsrepairschool]

Got it, but you probably skipped parts of the video. The issue was the 5v ldo, which was restored. No shorted mosfets are there as the power is correctly regulated. Possible i misunderstood the pin 13, that was not the problem there, but thank you for your feeedback

[@Trustsimo07]

pin 13 is optional on some board, like that HP, As you can see the pin is not connected. See here: eu.mouser.com/datasheet/2/698/REN_ISL9538C_SDS_20210819-2931943.pdf

[@lizardking8388]

@@electronicsrepairschool I watched every minute of the video; didn't skip a second. This video was very important to me because it was the only one where you were dealing with the ISL9538 (boost/buck converter), which as I explained I had a similar problem with that same chip. With all due respect, I'm not trying to show you up or anything, I deeply respect your work, watch your videos all the time and have learned a lot from them, even though I've been in the field for over 4 decades. However, the 5V LDO which is used internally by the chip to control the MOSFETs was loaded down by the wire that you connected and was restored after you removed that wire. Before you put that wire in the circuit, the 5V was there, but the MOSFET wasn't turning on because the chip wasn't driving it probably due to an input it didn't like (not sure which one). I'm sure you'll agree that the circuit started working seemingly without you actually doing anything to it; I believe it's because either the gate of that MOSFET is being driven low by a shorted pin 13 or the MOSFET is now shorted from drain to source, which will allow current to pass all the time. The chip will normally turn the main MOSFET off if some of the input signals are incorrect. I understand if you don't want to take the time opening the laptop again since you already spent a lot of time on it already, but I think there is something to learn if you did. Once again, I appreciate your work here on YT.

[@stephenfsands]

What was the device that you used to check the batter?

[@radio-ged4626]

@lizardking8388 It would be interesting to demonstrate if the battery charge circuit is operating correctly. My thoughts were different, it may now be fully working. When pin 18 had 5V pushed onto it the circuit started to operate. Maybe the IO chip didn't enable the buck chip due to some glitchy logic process and it was stuck in the wrong state. Injecting 5v there may have put it back to the right state. It could be looked at as some kind of logic loop that got stuck in the wrong state. You can see the current state changes with the laptop off so the battery charge circuit looks to be switching. I doubt the FETs are now shorted. But it would be good to see this fully confirmed.

[@Fred-B]

[@adhikanshenterprises9580]

Simply hard glued to your troubleshooting video...😊

[@CXensation]

Have a look on the datasheet for 9538CH pin 18 - 5V output If the voltage for some reason is taken down below 2.7V, the chip is reset. I suspect some kind of a latch-up situation has happened, which you have reset by applying external 5V to pin 18.

[@Tribes11]

That's exactly what I thought happened too. In the datasheet it says that it goes into reset mode below 2.7v and the chip was clearly at this point. When the injected the 5V voltage the chip must have "unlocked" from this stage and it began working again. At least now we know that we should check the datasheet and the vdd pin if needed before trying to replace it, no harms done if we inject the exact voltage it was supposed to have there. 😅

[@fabian11235]

Never heard of latch up before, thanks man! Also sounds like it'd be a possible explanation for this black magic fuckery :)

[@Enjoymentboy]

This was very interesting. Great troubleshooting. I worked on a tablet for my daughter a few years back that worked fine when connected to the charger but wouldn't take a charge I assumed the battery was faulty but it tested out fine and each cell was around 90% charge and within 0.2V of each other. No output voltage from the bms tho. I was able to fix it by desoldering the positive tabs of the cells from the bms to reset it. No output voltage still when i resoldered the battery tabs but as soon as i connected the charger the bms reinitialized and began charging again. Both cells balanced perfectly and the tablet worked great again. Never had another issue after that.

[@patriciaoudart1508]

Same for my tablet. Seems as a gate, that throw current only if all conditions are reunited.

[@MoussaHanjoul]

I love those long videos sorin pls keep them coming❤, i just fixed a laptop yesterday after around 2 hours of checking and finding absolutly nothing wrong by brushing alcohol on the i/o chip 😅

[@diannewiggil8300]

You're not the only one to struggle with HP and Intersil chips. The number of times I've replaced a "faulty" chip with a new one and had the same issue, and then put the "faulty" chip back and it's suddenly resolved itself... I now removed them, clean all the solder off the chip, reapply leaded solder and then resolder them back as my first step. Seems to work most times.

[@Customer22374rt]

[@herculespilot]

Sorin two thoughts 💭 First it's a very interesting video because we can follow you try and error more than usually. I read on the data sheet that the 5V makes a reset below 5 volts. Maybe your did a kind of reset when you connected you supply manually to that pin.

[@mryanzou]

Ahhhh Sorin, don't worry about the 1 hour video :) i'm watching you like i'm watching an old Columbo Episode ! I try to find the kill...

[@randyr.parker2698]

I wouldn't say you found nothing, apparently there had to be something wrong with that capacitor. I chuckled when you put 5V to that pin and the board would start to draw some amps, but then you would take it off. You did that twice, but I don't think you were looking at you meter when the amps would start to come up. Glad you found the problem, most would have given up by then. Have a good day Sorin.

I've had that happen a couple of times. It will bother you because you just accidentally bump into a fix. In fact it was the same type of issue. A whisker or something in a cap. Wasn't shorted and feeding Voltage with a little buck converter made it work.

Hello Sorin, Regarding this model: They often come in with a no responsive touchpad, you can replace touchpad, touchpad cable even motherboard will not fix the issue. The fix is: Reflow the touchpad connector on the motherboard and it will 100% work again, I posted a video how to do it as well but you have the knowledge already so you will not need it. Just a heads up if you ever get these models with touchpad issues…

Do I see a solder bridge between pin 31 and 32 at 11:10? Seems to be reflection as I don't see it around 22:00... So I looked at all the datasheets because you desoldering ISL9538CH, soldering ISL9538H and looking at datasheet of ISL95338... ADP is optional in ISL9538CH

I recall a similar problem with the Sony VAIO SV series laptops (MBX-269 motherboard) that would go into a sort of RTC protection mode and refuse to charge or run from the battery. After replacing many unnessesary parts I found the fix was simply jumping PG13 near the battery slots!

i used to have a HP that would only turn on after heating up with a hairdryer, and it was somewhere close to where you were working on, my bet was on this, heat may have resolder some cold track or, you applying volts to the chip might have triggered internally like a mosfet gate.

I think you should change the world as you unlike politicians kept looking for the problems and then tried solutions that you could see didn’t work! Then changed your approach.

The truth is that "something" suddenly caused the device to behave the way it should, but which "something"?.

Otherwise, it's magic. LOL
