HP Omen 2018 charges for one second then stops

[MelonHeadSeb]

Hello my HP Omen 2018 laptop charges for one second then stops and goes onto battery power. No idea if the problem is with the charger or the laptop, but it seems like it's purposely doing it since it will only start when I push the charger in. I'm unable to turn my laptop on since it's out of battery.
