OMEN by HP Laptop 17 - an-012dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have recently purchased and installed a new battery for Omen laptop due to my older battery not charging

 

It worked initially but after 2 hours of charging it only went up to 24% and then stopped charging. 

 

I am now wondering if this could be an issue with the charger.

 

What should I do?

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from,

@HandsomeJack311 I have a few steps listed below that should help you resolve this concern:

Unplug the charge, Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins.

Reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager:

1) In the search box, type and open “Device Manager”.

2) Expand “Batteries”.

3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.

4) Click on “Uninstall”.

5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver

6) Shutdown the computer.

7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in. (Skip this step if you have a non removable battery)

8 - When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.

9) Go to Device Manager.

10) Expand Batteries.

11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.

12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"

Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.

 

If the issue persists, run a battery and adapter test using the steps mentioned in this link: Click here

Hello Riddle! Thanks for the response!

 

I tried the method you suggested but my battery still isn't charging.

 

Also I installed the HP support assistant and ran the battery check test. When I run it with the charger plugged in the results it lists "Unknown".  When I run it without charger plugged in it lists "Discharging 24%"

 

I appreciate any help.

Edit: My battery now says "1% available (Plugged in)'  It still isnt charging
