Charging faults can come from the charger, DC jack, USB-C port, battery, charging IC, MOSFETs or the motherboard power path.

We check the fault before quoting so you do not replace the wrong part. WhatsApp the model, town, charger behavior and whether the laptop powers on.

If the charger light switches off when connected, stop testing and message first. That can point to a short or protection fault that needs board-level diagnosis.

Common charging symptoms

Battery not charging, laptop only works plugged in, charger light turns off, battery not detected, charging percentage stays stuck, or the laptop shuts down when the charger is removed.

What not to do

Do not force a loose charger, keep swapping cheap chargers, or continue using a hot charging port. Message first if the charger LED turns off or the port feels damaged.

Charger vs DC jack vs motherboard fault

We check whether the fault is the charger, DC jack, USB-C port, cable path or motherboard charging circuit.

USB-C charging faults

USB-C charging faults may involve the port, controller, protection components or board-level power path.

Battery not detected

Battery detection can fail because of battery communication, connector damage, charging IC faults or motherboard corrosion.

What BitSupport checks

We check charger voltage, DC jack or USB-C input, MOSFETs, current sense parts, charging IC signals, battery connector voltage and signs of liquid damage or shorts.
