Common problems for Battery
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about: Battery Reports, Hold a charge, Test and Calibrating Battery . Check out this link: Is your notebook plugged in and not charging?

Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This is right after I replaced the battery (and for a while, it worked with the replaced battery!). 

 

The icon over the battery just says 'plugged in'. Not 'plugged in, not charging', just 'plugged in', and it's obviously not charging. When I unplug the adapter briefly and then plug it back in, for a moment the charging light shows orange. Then, it goes back to white again. 

 

I've tried a hard reset, run battery diagnostics, run AC adapter diagnostics, updated drivers...but nothing seems to work. Anyone else had this problem?

I reviewed your post and I understand that the battery is not getting charged.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

What is the product number of your computer?

 

Meanwhile, I recommend you update the BIOS from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved.

If you continue facing the issue, then reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager.

 

Here is how you do it.

 

Step 1: Click the Windows “Start” button and right-click “Computer.”

Step 2: Click “Manage,” then “Device Manager.”

Step 3: Click the “Batteries” section. A list of devices will appear.

Step 4: Right-click the “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” device and click “Uninstall.”

Step 5: Click the “Action” menu item and “Scan for Hardware Changes” to reinstall the driver.

 

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

 

P.S: Welcome to the HP Support Community 😊
