There is a problem with the line from the battery to the common point where the charging IC is generated. We directly check the problem of the battery line in the drawing, that is, it is found that the battery seat voltage has not passed through the isolation tube Q34 after being converted into MBAT_PWR18_R, and Q34 is a P tube, so it can only be turned on if G is less than S. To turn on Q34, the control tube Q320 of Q34 should be turned on and grounded. Let R483 and R638 divide the voltage of MBAT_PWR18_R, so that G is less than S, and then Q34 can be turned on. We measure the control signal PWRSHUTDOWN of Q320 and find that it is low level, and this signal needs to be high to turn on Q320. Inquire about the source of PWRSHUTDOWN and find that this signal is sent by U101, so let’s check the working conditions of U101. It is found that the power supply of U101 is supplied by MBAT_PWR18_R through a fuse inductor and diode, and it is found that there is no output voltage after MBAT_PWR18_R passes through the fuse inductor F9, and both ends of F9 are open, so we can directly replace this inductor.
