Had a customer bring me a Lenovo Ideapad 3 yesterday that wont turn on. When the charger is plugged in, the charge light flashes orange constantly and will not power on.
Disconnecting the battery and plugging in, the light doesnt come on at all and neither does the laptop. This potentially rules out the battery, or at least makes the battery not the only issue, unless this is a laptop that has a circuit that goes through the battery, so disconnecting the battery means no power. Does anyone know if this happens on this model?
Customer replaced the charger recently, although it appears to be a generic brand but appears to output 20.5V consistently.
I cant find a schematic for this motherboard so i dont know the exact route of the charging circuit, but various places i tested seem to suggest power goes all the way to the battery without around 6V going into the battery.
Does anyone know of anything else i can try?
