LAPTOP HP G62 (FOXCONN MOTHERBOARD).
I have an HP G62 laptop. When I press the power button, it doesn’t turn on and the LED next to the power input blinks 4 times.
Even with the battery connected, the same thing happens.
I measured the 19V on the motherboard, and they are fine. The 3.3V rail is also OK, but the 5V rail is missing.
Additionally, when the battery is disconnected, the laptop does absolutely nothing, and the power supply only shows 10mA consumption but doesn’t turn on.
When the battery is connected, the charger tries to power the board, but every 4 seconds, there seems to be a short circuit, and then it tries again.
I measured at the input (e.g. the 19V rail), and as soon as the short occurs, the voltage drops to 6–7V, then rises back up to 19V and the cycle repeats.
What could be the problem? The battery or the charging IC?
I tested all the input MOSFETs off the board and they are fine.
