My laptop is not charging when powered on and using it. I will plug it in and it will not charge, the battery light will flash white (like if it’s on standby). However, it seems to charge when it is powered off and not being used. I am in need of a solution for this please. Thanks in advance.

Hi @tcarmen,

 

Thank you for joining HP Forums. 

This is a great place to get support, find answers 

 

I understand the battery light is blinking when you turn on the computer.

No worries, I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution: 

 

Are you facing this issue after an update on the computer?

Can you please help me with the exact product detail.

 

Please follow the below troubleshooting steps :

 

1. Disconnect the AC power adapter cord, remove the battery, and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. This will discharge the notebooks system capacitors.

2. Connect the AC adapter to a working power outlet or surge protector and connect it to the notebook.

3. Press the Power button to turn on the notebook.

 

Check if the issue is resolved.
