So I have 4 problem with my laptop right now:
1. The laptop is plugged in, but not charging. This problem occurs like 2 or 3 day a time and normally reinstall the battery fixes it. However, removing the battery requires removing the back of the laptop, and doing it 2 or 3 times a week isn't convenient at all! I wonder if this is fine or I should go to a warranty centre to have my laptop checked.
2. Recently (about a month) my laptop is power limited. It could drain over 50W before and all 6 cores' clocks were nearly 4Ghz (which is the maximum for the R5 4600H according to the AMD specs (well, sometimes 1 single core could boost up to 4.3 Ghz in single thread application). Now it can drains about 29 - 34W max! Both all cores clock and single core clock are reduced! Yes, the laptop runs cooler, but I still prefer having better performance.
3. The wifi connection is really bad. In the same position and the antennas head toward the same place,my phone can have nearly twice the speed that the laptop can have (25mpbs for the laptop and about 50mbps for the phone). Well, the wired connection is fine (about 130mbps).
4. When I open the laptop today, I noticed 2 transparent wires near the charging port, and they connected to nothing! I never try removing anything near that place before.
Thanks for your help!

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Does the notebook shut down immediately (right after you unplug the charger)?
  • Do you get any error messages on your notebook (Such as Plugged in, not charging, etc.)?
  • Could you please share the picture of the wire transparent near the charging port?

Keep me posted for further assistance.

Every things seems fine after removing the battery and wait for a while, I can still use the laptop without plugging the cable for a decent amount of time.
This is what shown when the problem occurs:

It isn't charged, just stays like that. The HP assistant app also says that the battery should be replace:

Even though it will report "Primary Battery: Normal" if I do the thing I mentioned above.

Here is what I got from the UEFI Component test after doing so (the 2nd test is way too slow so I just give up, it doesn't test the battery or AC anyways) and the picture if the wires. Hard too see, but it's there, on the left of the white wire

Oh and there is a time when I disable the "charge on sleep" (or whatever it's called) - the feature that allows the notebook to charge another device even when it's sleeping - and the notebook's battery was fine for about 1 or 2 weeks (much better than enable that feature).
I have my wireless mouse's dongle plugged in 24/7.
