Please try the following Troubleshoots steps.
1. Turn off the Unit.

3. Remove any discs from the disc drive.
4. Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.
5. Disconnect all nonessential peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.

7. Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.

Thank you for your reply
Understanding HP Smart Adapter messages
Using an AC power adapter not designed for your computer can cause the notebook to display a notification message in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Use the power adapter that came with your notebook for the best performance.
NOTE:
If the HP Smart Adapter message displays when you are using the power adapter provided with the notebook, then update to the latest BIOS version for your notebook.
Power output too low message. This message indicates the power adapter does not provide enough power for the notebook computer to be used. The battery light might blink rapidly eight (8) times and the battery icon in the system tray indicates the computer is operating on battery power.
Understanding the AC power adapter lights
Depending on the model, the battery indicator or AC power adapter light LED might be white, green, or amber when the power adapter is connected and is providing power to the notebook.
Most notebook computers have a power adapter light in the area near the power connector. If the light is on, then the power adapter is functioning properly.
