I have an HP slatebook x2 PC, recenlty the base battery stopped working for no reason, It just suddenly stopped even getting any charge, the warranty is over but I'd like to know what's the problem and what's the cause for the base battery not working, the tablet battery charges till it reaches 100% but the base battery stays 0%, Why? that's why I'm here, I tried factory reset and even leaving the notebook charging for several hours but no hope.
Thanks in advance,
an HP customer.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Perform a Hard reset on the tablet:
A hard reboot can resolve many startup issues. Press and hold the power button for more than eight seconds. After the notebook fully shuts down, wait a few seconds, and then press the power button to turn on the notebook.
Next thing, I would suggest here is to connect the tablet to the base and charge the battery using the charging cable that came with your notebook. Allow the battery to charge for 30 minutes or more, and then attempt to turn on the notebook again.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Well, that was an unexpected reply from an HP agent, I did mention that the device is HP Slatebook X2 and therefore it has two batteries and an Android operating system and that's why your instructions to apply.
