@Tracer3112, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP Laptop PC 15s-du3000 is only working when plugged in and the battery is not charging, here are some steps to help diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:
Perform a Battery Reset
- Shut down the laptop.
- Unplug the power adapter.
- Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds to discharge residual power.
- Plug the adapter back in and power on the laptop.
Check Battery Status in BIOS
- Restart the laptop and press Esc repeatedly, then F2 to enter HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI.
- Select Component Tests > Power > Battery Test.
- Run the test and note the results. If it says “Replace,” the battery may be faulty.
Update BIOS and Drivers
Outdated BIOS or power drivers can cause charging issues.
- Go to Official HP® Support
- Enter your product: HP Laptop PC 15s-du3000
- Download and install the latest BIOS, Chipset, and Battery Management drivers.
Use HP Support Assistant
- Install or open HP Support Assistant: HP Support Assistant | HP® Support
- Run a full system check, especially the Battery Health Check.
Check Windows Battery Settings
- Go to Settings > System > Power & Battery
- Ensure battery saver is off and check if Windows detects the battery.
- In Device Manager, expand Batteries and right-click both:
- Microsoft AC Adapter
- Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
- Choose Uninstall device, then restart the laptop. Windows will reinstall them.
Physical Battery Check
If the battery is removable:
- Power off the laptop.
- Remove the battery and inspect for swelling or damage.
- Reinsert and try charging again.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
