Hi @Kunal7030,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP Notebook is not turning on without the charger plugged in, but works normally when the charger is connected, there could be a few potential issues causing this problem. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try.
- Check the Battery: First, ensure that the battery is properly seated in the laptop and that there are no visible signs of damage. Sometimes, a loose or damaged battery connection can prevent the laptop from turning on without the charger.
- Battery Health: If the battery is old or degraded, it may not hold a charge properly, leading to the issue you're experiencing. You can check the battery health in the laptop's BIOS settings or by using diagnostic tools provided by HP. If the battery health is poor, you may need to replace the battery.
- Reset the BIOS: Sometimes, resetting the BIOS to its default settings can resolve power-related issues. You can usually access the BIOS by pressing a specific key (like F2, F10, or Del) during the boot process. Once in the BIOS, look for an option to reset to default settings.
- Update Drivers and BIOS: Make sure that all device drivers and the BIOS firmware are up to date. HP provides software and driver updates on their website. Outdated drivers or firmware can sometimes cause power-related issues.
- Power Management Settings: Check the power management settings in the operating system to ensure that there are no settings preventing the laptop from turning on without the charger. You can adjust these settings in the Control Panel or System Preferences, depending on your operating system.
- Hardware Issues: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there may be a hardware problem with the laptop, such as a faulty power circuit or motherboard issue.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and hopefully resolve the issue with your HP Notebook not turning on without the charger plugged in.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
