Hi @cobra09,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
The HP error 601 typically means the laptop's primary (internal) battery has a very low storage capacity, potentially below 25% of its original capacity.
Please try a BIOS Restore, and if still getting the 601 error, try to update the BIOS and run a battery test from the HP Support assistant tool.
BIOS Restore :
1) Shut down the computer, keep the charger plugged in
2) Hold down the Windows and B buttons together while the computer is still turned off.
3) Turn on the computer and continue to hold the Windows and B buttons until a BIOS Recovery screen appears.
4) Follow the on-screen instructions and click on OK
Please use the link shared, which will guide you on updating the BIOS and running the Battery Test: HP Battery Page.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
