HP EliteBook 840 G4 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 11

My laptop HP EliteBook 840 G4 has a problem. When it is 100% fully charged, the orange light turns in white and blinks continuously. So, I go to BIOS and change the setting. I maximize my battery life. That's why my laptop never charges over 80%. But today I reset my BIOS setting and now the battery indicator is not working properly. It is off right now. I tried to turn it off but nothing happened. What can I do now?

Please help me. It is urgent.

Updating the BIOS is recommended as standard maintenance of the computer. It can also help resolve the following issues:

      • An available BIOS update resolves a specific issue or improves computer performance.
      • The current BIOS does not support a hardware component or a Windows upgrade.
      • HP Support recommends installing a specific BIOS update.
