Hello everyone 👋
I recently bought my first HP Omen 15 AMD laptop (( No Thunderbolt! ))
(2021) and I have been trying to run my device with a third-party 100w charger but no luck. It keeps giving me this error message:
"Low-power power source detected Your computer will run from the battery and is not charging. Use of the original power adapter is recommended."
I ran HWinfo to see how much power is being charged to the battery, but it turned out that the laptop actually blocks the power source completely which is very annoying!!
I need to use the 100w power adapter because I travel a lot and I want to play or work on an airplane.
I'm just asking if anyone knows a way around it.
Is there something that we can disable from hp software that's running in the background?
Any thoughts or solutions are much appreciated.
Thank you in advance ❤️

What is your Omen machine ? I believe all Omen machines have at least 150W AC adapter (or chargers). I tested USB-C 100W on my Omen machine which requires 200W charger, it can ONLY charge my Omen machine when not in use or overnight .
Regards.

Thank you for your reply!
My laptop Model: 15-EN1013DX
As far as i know, the AMD does not support USB-C so i bought converters and other third party accessories to charge the laptop with a 100w via DC port.
Here are some of the iteams i used to test my laptop, which non of them worked via DC port, unfortunately.

I tried all these methods via DC port, no luck.
My laptop rejected them all, while turned on or off.
Lastly i tried to run HP diagnostic program, but still did not fix the issue.
This is a deal breaker for me as i travel overseas 4 times annually. I hope there's a way to make this work and charge the laptop with 100w charger.
I might just return the laptop if there's no fix but i hope there is because i love its power!!
Thank you for your time and effort!
