Laptop doesn't boot without battery on direct power supply.
HP hardware diagnostic test results on different components:
Battery diagnostic -
- Battery status: OK(0)
- Logic state: OK(0)
- Charge state: OK(0)
- Failure ID: OK(0)
AC Adaptor test: PASSED
System board check: PASSED
Charging port test: PASSED
#1. Though, battery is replaced about an year ago. Still, battery doesn't hold/catches charge but power indicator light (yellow/charging). This problem is there on and off since before replacing the battery ie. since mid 2020, now it's more often.
#2. Without battery in place, system doesn't boot nor does the power indicator light. It just blinks once for a second when charger is plugged in.
I consulted technician, they looked into and told at first there was some problem with mother board and they have fixed it. System worked fine for a day and again the same problem. I consulted again and they told now it will work fine and it worked but for just one day or one charge cycle. I consulted again, and this time they told there is no problem in the system, I have checked it all. It is working fine here (2 days), so there may be fault in your charger. Hence, I bought a new genuine charger. Still, the problem persist.
Now, they have no answer nor am I able figure out anything.
So please help me or advice me what should I do now.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue.
I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Hard Reset: Follow steps from the link: https://hp.care/2GnkMa8. (Refer to the removable and sealed battery)
BIOS default:(do not skip any troubleshooting steps even if you feel steps are repeating)
- Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
- Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
- On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
- Press F10 to Save and Exit.
- Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
- Follow the prompts to restart your computer.
If the issue persists, follow the next steps.
- 1. Go to Start, search for Device Manager, and open this result.
- 2. Expand batteries.
- 3. Right-click on the ACPI option (usually the 2nd option) and select delete or uninstall. Follow the prompts.
- 4. Shut down the computer.
- 5. Disconnect the charger.
- 6. Remove the battery. (only for removable battery)
- 7. Hold down the power button for 1 minute.
- 8. Insert the battery only. (only for removable battery)
- 9. Attempt to turn the battery on
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
