My Probook 450 G2 doesnt respond to charger when switched off and can be powered on normally. it only powers ON in two ways. 1. When the battery is removed and in the process of inserting the charger the lights just flash if u immediately click the power button it switches on. If you delay for more than 2 seconds it wont power on.
2. When inserting the battery. This only works when the charge is disconnected and it also happens in the process of inserting the battery (before its fully inserted) that the lights come on if you immediately press the power button it switches on. if you delay for more than 2 seconds it wont power ON.
NOTE. You cant power it ON when battery is full inserted, with both charger and battery, when charger is full inserted. In other words you can switch it the normal way, it needs the above mentioned trick to power it ON.
It wont charge or show any light if its OFF, the moment it switches on it starts charging. And if you switch it OFF whilst the charger is still connected it will continue charging and you dont need the above mentioned trick to switch it ON. You can just simply press power button and it comes ON.
What could be the problem and solution to this problem. Thank u
