Just bought HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-dk0902no, it won´t charge unless the laptops lid is closed

[ThomasRAS]

Hi,

Just got home with this new laptop, and problem is that i won´t charge unless i physical close the laptop. WHen closed, it caharges as it should - can see the orange diode turns on.

Tried to update the drivers for:
Microsoft ac-adapter

Microsoft surface acpi-compliant control method battery

Removed both under device management and then searched for hw changes. It did reinstall both, and it tells me that both are up to date.

I don´t know what to do from here.

I can´t take out the battery, as i would break the guarentie.

Help is appreciated

Regards Thomas

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

I suggest you start with a hard reset:

Hard Reset:

1) Shutdown the computer.  

2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.  

3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer ) 

4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.  

5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)

6) Try to turn on the computer and check, if the issue persists continue next step.

When done, you may want to check with an alternate power cord/adapter as it could be a malfunction that's causing this issue to occur, here's what you could do:   If the charger shows inconsistent power output values, I would suggest that you step into Best Buy or staples and try with a different adapter and that should isolate the issue to the adapter or the computer.  

Please try a different battery on the unit as well.   Do not buy the battery and adapter. It is only for testing. Use spare ones that they may have. If it works correctly, then you could think of buying it.  

Meanwhile, also, try the below: Steps to uninstall the ACPI drivers Right-Click on start button> click device manager> Batteries>then select the s drivers and right-click on it and uninstall all battery drivers. Then restart the computer and check again.   Link for battery testing and calibration 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Betty0610,

Thanks for the reply!

I am affraid I can´t follow all solutions provided.

I can´t unplug the battery as it´s built in.

I also (as i wrote) uninstalled all battery drivers and rebooted afterwards.

I also updated BIOS to latest recomended by HP.

Have been through windows update, and there aren´t no more updates available.

Battery will only charge when the notebook is powered off.

Hi again,

And again thanks for helping 🙂
I installed following available chipsetdrivers through Hp Installl assistent:

Intel Software Guard Extensions Device (SGX) Driver (Windows 10 v1809)
2.3.100.49813 Rev.A 5.1 MB Dec 27, 2019

Rebooted, and still not charging when laptop is powered on.
I have an idea that it could be the adaptor itself not delivering enough power, when the laptop is up and running? And since that the laptop is brand new and pre installed.

Also did a power test.  Powered off laptop, hit f2  choose power test in the HP menu. Result was failure for the adaptor:

error-id: MBSM62-A7PA7T-XD7U2J-C1BW03

Any of this makes sence?

According to the failure code the adapter is faulty. Please try with a different adapter and check.

I did recieve a new adaptor - but sadly it won´t charge aswell 😞

Adapter power test fails with: MBSM62-A7PA7X-XD7U2J-C19W03

It must be the laptop it self, or the battery needs to be pluged out/in i guess.

Thanks Thomas
