IC charger laptop

IC charger laptop

For some people, especially those who often go to electronic service, the term IC power may still be unfamiliar to the ear. Power IC itself is an abbreviation of Integrated Circuit. In short IC poser is a component that serves as a bridge of electrical voltage on electronic devices.


In general, we can find this IC power on devices that use battery power and can be recharged such as feature phones, smartphones, tablets, laptops and the like. In this article we will discuss what are the characteristics of damaged IC power on a laptop. to find out more clearly, the following review.

1.Battery does not charge when charged

The first feature is that the laptop battery is not charged after charging. Even when the battery is charged before, the battery indicator can charge properly. For this part, we do not need to rush to conclude whether the damage came from IC Power. Because, it could be damage originating from the battery itself or even from the charger.

The easiest way to detect it is to borrow a laptop chager owned by a similar friend. Plug in another charger and see the reaction on the laptop. if the battery still doesn't charge, then the problem isn't with the charger. The most likely damage is in the battery or IC power.


2. There is the words "Plugged in, Not Charging"

Try to check on the battery, whether the phrase "Plugged this, Not Charging" appears? if the text appears when you are charging, then you can be sure the IC power on the laptop is damaged. The purpose of the message indicates that the power used to power the laptop does not come from the battery, but directly from the power source. If you unplug the charger, then you can be sure the laptop will also die immediately.

In addition, the battery indicator sometimes changes. For example, sometimes the value appears 0%, or even shows the number 99%. You should not be fooled by the appointment of these value indicators. Therefore, the value shown is a pseudo number only.

3. Check the charger indicator light


Every laptop has an indicator light that is located right next to the adapter plug. The function of this indicator light shows that the charging process is in progress. Besides functioning as a charging indicator, this indicator can also indicate whether the charging process has been completed or is still ongoing. In certain types, when the laptop is charging the color has a characteristic. For example, when charging, the indicator light is red. Meanwhile, when the battery is full, the color turns white.

If the IC power is damaged, then the indicator lights may not turn on or the lights do not change either when still charging or the battery is full. It is easy enough to see the difference.

4. No multi tester or Avometer is detected

To get more accurate results, we use a multi tester or avometer. This tool is able to detect whether the IC power on electronic goods can still work or cannot be turned on anymore. If you don't have it already, you should buy or borrow it from a friend you already have.

The way this tool works is quite easy. First prepare the multi tester or the Avometer. After that, disassemble your laptop, it should be noted that when using this method, you are already proficient in dismantling your own laptop. If you are still not skilled, you should ask for help from people who are experts. Touch the power IC with the tester and look at the clock. If the clockwork on the tester shows 0 ohms, then the IC power is no longer functioning. Conversely, if the clockwise move shows a certain number, then IC power can still be used.


5. Laptop is totally dead

For this part, it can be said to have reached the most severe level. Power IC that is really damaged is one of the causes of a total laptop death even though using an adapter. This is as mentioned previously that the function of the IC power itself is as a bridge to flow electrical power to various components in the laptop.

If, the IC power is damaged, then the electric power cannot be distributed evenly so that the laptop cannot be turned on. As a result of this total dead laptop, then other computer components can be damaged to follow.

It can be said that IC power has an important role in making a laptop can be turned on easily. Even though the price is quite cheap compared to other components, IC power is still very vital if a problem occurs.

To overcome the problem of laptop IC power, you can replace it with a new power IC. If you are still unable to unpack it yourself, you can try asking for help to a trusted laptop service provider.

Hopefully this article can be useful.
