My battery only charges from the moment when it has gone completely dead/empty. So every day, my PC shuts down during work (video calls, etc.), around the moment the battery goes empty. Only after that, charging works. I've ran various diagnostics tools. Battery is fine, charger is fine. I found https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Boot-and-Lockup/Laptop-won-t-charge-unless-fully-dead/td-p/79... from 2021, which covers exactly my issue. Followed all instructions there. The procedure went smoothly, but... no result - problem persists.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help or suggestions!

Hi @gmalb,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.
I see that you are facing an issue with charging your Laptop.
Follow the below steps to fix the issue.
-Perform a power drain on your PC.
1) Unplug the power cord from the PC & wall.
2) Disconnect the power cable from the AC adapter if it is a detachable part and keep it aside.
3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back into the AC adapter, then connect it to the wall and to the charging port on your PC.
5) Power on the PC and check if it boots into Windows now.
-Update the BIOS for your PC by clicking on the link.
Make sure you keep only the charger plugged in while updating the BIOS for your PC.
Click on the + sign next to BIOS and then download the file.
Open the file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
