I have seen a lot of units with charge problems that seem to defy explanation. They seem to start by being picky with which charger they work with and eventually won’t charge the battery at all unless the charger is reinserted 3-4 times rapidly
I have seen this on many broken systems.
It is not a battery problem.
It is not a charger problem.
If a working already charged battery is inserted it will power on normally but the charge issue persists.
It does not seem to happen to AGS-001 as far as I have seen.
Things I have checked:
F1/F2 work
EM8 is good with no solder joint problems.
Charge port is clean, replacing does not fix this.
I suspect the problem is with the Mitsumi PM B3 but have no way to test this and there is no pinout for this chip.
