HP Notebook 15t ay 100 CTO
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The only way I can power on is to unplug the unit and remove and re-install the battery every time I want to access the laptop. Battery diagnostic says "normal".

Does that mean I have to replace the battery?

Hi@Doc2000, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

Did you check with BIOS is up to date?

 

I understand that notebook has an issue with powering on.

 

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 minute and then put it back in.  

😎 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.  

Restart the computer and the issue should be fixed.
