Hey @Jackie_92, Welcome to HP Support Community. 👋
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP Notebook 15-da0081od is playing the "I'm plugged in but still hungry" 🍽️game. Let's get it back on track 🛤️with some troubleshooting steps!
The Classic Power Reset (Hard Reset)
- Unplug the charger.
- Remove the battery (if it's removable).
- Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any residual power.
- Reinsert the battery and plug the charger back in.
- Turn on the laptop and check if it charges.
Check the Charger & Port
- Wiggle the charger gently at the connection point. If the charging LED flickers or turns off/on, the port might be loose.
- Try another power outlet.
- If available, test with another HP-compatible charger.
Battery Driver Reset (Software Refresh)
- Right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager.
- Expand Batteries and look for:
- Microsoft AC Adapter
- Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
- Right-click each and select Uninstall device (don’t worry, they reinstall on reboot).
- Restart your laptop and check if the issue is resolved.
Battery Status Check
- HP Diagnostic Tool: Restart your laptop and tap F2 repeatedly to enter the HP Hardware Diagnostics menu.
- Run a Battery Check to see if it detects any issues.
BIOS Update & Reset
- Go to HP Support Page and check if there's a BIOS update for your model.
- You can also reset BIOS settings by:
- Restarting the laptop and tapping F10 to enter BIOS.
- Press F9 to restore default settings, then F10 to save and exit.
I hope this helps. 🚀
Take care and have a good day. 🙂
