Disconnect the charger from the laptop (if connected ) and also disconnect the battery from the motherboard and then use your Ohmmeter and check if fuse PF101 on the motherboard has continuity i.e. that it is short circuit - 0.00 Ohms shown on the meter.
''It should test ***short circuit*** as this ***is an OK test for a fuse***.''

If the fuse is blown i.e. OL or infinite Ohms shown on meter then you need to find a [https://www.ebay.com/itm/181592199813|7A_32VDC_0437007] fuse (supplier example only), to replace it with.

This is only the start of testing as there may be other problems but you need to start at the beginning to see if power is even getting to the motherboard from the charger.

Also check diode PD703 is OK. It is a dual diode i.e. pins 3-1 is one diode, pins 2-1 is the other. This diode supplies power from both the charger and the battery to the power controller IC.
If they're both OK then you will need the [document|38852|schematics] and also a the ''boardview'' files [document|38853|motherboard top view] and [document|38854|motherboard bottom view] which show the location of all the parts shown in the schematic making it easier to find them. (you need to zoom in a lot to view these files) to find out what's wrong.
