Omen laptop will not charge while open

[MartinStreet]

I contacted HP support who promptly opened and then closed the issue without talking to me at all. I am trying to figure out why my brand new laptop will not charge while I am working on it, necessitating my closing the laptop and plugging it in in order for the battery to recharge at all
