Asus x555l Battery/Charging Problem

[alexpanda187]

I've had this laptop for over a year and had no problems at all. Yesturday my daughter plugged in the wrong charger and it instantly shutdown the laptop and it would not come back on until I plugged in the correct charger.

I thought phew, that was a close one, until I realised the battery was not charging.

Now the battery is completely flat, when charging I have the orange charge light on but the laptop will not make it past the asus screen without dying.

I use this laptop for work so I need the issue sorting asap, don't want to go and buy a new battery only for it not to work. Really don't want to open it up to get to the battery either but I'm willing to try anything right now.

Please help, thanks in advance.

Hi I'm having the exact same problem. Your solution was to skip the pcb resistor. How do I do that?

yeahnazri did you actually measure voltages after dc-in? Is there a short ?

 

[fagetti]

Short in dcjack means it kills the power instantly when you plugin.


There might be even smell of burnt electronics coming out of it

No smell and I am afraid to commit and take out the dc jack as it is soldered in. I have sent it to the shop and they have comfimed that it is not battery related. Nothing seems burnt.

Ok I put the dc jack under a multimeter, when the battery is screwed in and the charger is in there is power. There is no power if one or the other is not plugged in.
