Spectre X360 turns off when it starts to charge, only charges off.

[mdeng35]

My HP Spectre X360 from 2017 doesn't charge when turn on, if it does it turns off. It only charges when it's powered off for some weird reason. This started a few days ago and there's seem to be other issues as well like it turns off at around ~33%, I am using an OEM charger. Is there a way I can fix this?

@mdeng35 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the HP Spectre laptop will not charge when the unit is turned on.

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

Unplug the charger and use the laptop until the battery drains to 15%. 

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.  

😎 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.

Thanks for helping, although I would've done this, my sister couldn't wait and went out and bought a new charger, that solved anything. Thanks again I'll mark as a solution though!
