Thank you for reply. I had tried this test my laptop has UEFI 1.6 version and it is not showing COMPONENT TEST, so what should i try next.

You could try installing the latest HP uefi diagnostics. You could also create a USB diagnostics drive and perform the tests in that way. 

You could also try a compatible battery which you can find for good prize online and see if it changes the situation.

Thank you, this option works. I had created a USB diagnostic drive and performed the test and the result are

should I replace my battery with a new one.

Yes I would replace the battry especially if you need to be mobile with the notebook, as the battery is weak. Here are the two compatible batteries with part number, you can perform a search with part number online to find the battery. The first will also have much higher charge and will last longer. The second is the one you have in the notebook.

9-cell, 93 WHr, 2.8 Ah Li-ion battery           633809-001
6-cell, 47 WHr, 2.2 Ah Li-ion battery           633805-001

Hope it helps, David

My laptop don't have a original activated window, i had installed a pirated window , does it will effect my laptop functioning.

[iomare]

No, it will not be a problem for your system. You could consider installing Windows 10 which you can download from Microsoft and install (by creating bootable Usb drive)

To install you do not need product key. You could then purchase a product key online for cheap .

Example:

https://www.ebay.com/p/Microsoft-Windows-10-Pro-Professional-32-64bit/809536399

This way you would have a legal copy of Windows 10 which in my opinion is better than Windows 8.1.

Hope it helps,

David
