What to change in a laptop so that it starts charging?
Greetings!
Not so long ago, I got a DELL brand laptop in the configuration without a battery and charger. Since I needed a laptop for work, compatible missing parts were urgently bought at a nearby store. And now to the problem: the battery is not charging, but it is correctly displayed in the BIOS. With a quick googling, it was found that this brand is quite picky about original spare parts. I would like to know what to change from this pair in order to eliminate this problem.
Z.Y. Recommendations from the first pages of Google did not help.

Never contact Dell. Sell for parts and forget like a bad dream. Consider the loss of money and time as the cost of training.
The reason for the non-charging may be in the power supply. Some manufacturers of branded laptops, in order to prevent the use of non-original PSUs, inserted an identifier into their PSUs - a 3-pin Dallas chip, which sends some code to the computer via the 1wire interface. Looks like Dell is one of them. You can determine such a PSU by the fact that the power cable is three-wire, and the plug is three-pin.
In my practice, there was a case of replacing such a branded PSU (faulty). It was not difficult to select a suitable extraneous PSU in terms of current and voltage, but it was only possible to start it after I soldered the cable from the faulty one to it, and also transferred it from the faulty one to a new piece of the board with the Dallas chip.
Faced - as far as I remember, both communicate with the laptop, and should be original. Perhaps the Chinese have learned how to make suitable copies - but I don't know.
