My HP laptop doesn't want to charge and I don't know what the problem is. When I long press the power button there is an orange flash meaning it is too low so the laptop is fine . Should I bring it in for a check up or is it something I can fix at home?

Hi @Olo_05
Welcome to the HP Support Community. Thanks for bringing this to our notice.
I see that you are facing charging-related issues on your system. Do not worry, we are here to fix it.
May I know from when are you facing this issue?
Did you make any hardware or software-related changes to it?
May I know if you are getting any error messages?
Are you using HP genuine AC adapter?
Please perform below shown steps to resolve the issue:
Step 01. Click on the Start Button
Step 02. Type "Device Manager" in the start search box & open the Device Manager
Step 03. Look for Batteries and expand it by click on the + symbol on the left
Step 04. Right Click on "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" & uninstall
Note: This Battery driver will get re-installed automatically when you restart the Notebook again
Step 05. Please Shutdown the Notebook
Step 06. Please remove the Battery and unplug the Power Adapter
Step 07. Press and Hold the Power Button for full 1 Minute
Step 08. Go ahead and put back the Battery and connect the Power Adapter
Step 09. Look for "Plugged In Charging" message on the Battery icon
After performing all the steps if you are facing the same issue still, please perform three more steps:
1. Run a Battery Check in HP Support Assistant[Install the Software if it's not available]
Note: Replace the Battery If Health Check Status shows Replace
2. Update the latest BIOS for your Notebook from HP Support Site
3. Please check your Notebook with a known good Power Adapter & Battery from a different Notebook
Note: If a known good battery is also not charging we need to replace the system board
How to improve the life of a Battery:
1. It is not advisable to use the Notebook when the Power Adapter is connected
2. It is not advisable to keep the Power Adapter plugged in even after the Battery is fully charged
3. You need to let the battery drain completely before charging again
4. Power Plan should be set correctly for extended battery life
5. Please keep the Screen Brightness at lower level
6. Please turn OFF Wi-Fi Connection when not in use
7. Please remove the CD/DVD's from the Optical Drive when not in use
