Hi, I have HP 15-bs series not charging but able to power up perfectly fine on power pack. The power pack is giving the output voltage of over 18v( middle pin) for charging but I discovered when connected there is a voltage drop from 18v to 0.7v once on the motherboard. Can this be a short on the charging system or a power pack problem. Please advice

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I understand that your HP notebook is not charging correctly, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Did you make any changes to the settings of your PC prior to the issue?
- Did you try another charger?
- Does the notebook shut down immediately (right after you unplug the charger)?
- Do you get any error messages on your notebook (Such as Plugged in, not charging, etc.)?
While you respond to that, let's try these steps:
Hard Reset: Follow steps from the link: https://hp.care/2GnkMa8.
BIOS default:
- Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
- Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
- On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
- Press F10 to Save and Exit.
- Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
- Follow the prompts to restart your computer.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi, I did try all the steps you had advised but still not charging. Luckily a friend of mine had almost a similar laptop, I got his battery to try it in my laptop and it was able to charge but my battery could not charge in his laptop. I think I need to buy a new battery...thanks for your support
