Power Adapter Charging issue / battery?

[DangerousDave1]

Well I'm frustrated as my OMEN has now developed a strange issues with the charging.

I plug in and switch on the adapter and the LED goes red like it should when charging, but then turns white even though it is not 100% (currently 82%)... and without doing anything it goes red again and starts to charge... then about 2 minutes later goes white and stops charging.

It appears to only be doing this when it reaches around 82% - does that indicate a battery issue?

I did a Battery check and this morning it stated "Failed" and that there was a short or blown fuse and I should replace the battery.

Then another check tonight indicates all okay with both the adapter and battery - although it is still doing the same charge / not charging status.

Anyone know why this is?  Could it be the adapter (which I doubt as my partners HP Pavillion charger is virtually the same and it does the same when i use it) or possibly the battery?

Thanks

Hi,

No I'm not sure what the issue is.

When charging it only goes up to about 86% then the red light when charging goes white and so does not charge up to 100%.

I have checked the BIOS and the battery saver is on 100% so should charge to 100%.

Really want to know what causes this and is it possibly a battery issue?  Don't want to buy a new battery then find the same thing happening.

I have tried another adapter and it does the same with that so it is not an adapter charger issue.

Hi,

Non-removable battery.

After trying both battery testers it does appear it is the battery aging.
