Hello,
I recently acquired a brand new adapter which is not an HP adapter :
19.5V
11.8A
230W
The one i use with my HP Omen laptop gets way too hot, and the laptop gets hot too :
19.5V
10.3A
200W
but whenever i plug in the new charger, the led in the laptop is white which means according to the manual "the adapter is plugged in but the battery isn't charging". I wanna try this new charger which is working as i verified it's voltage and amperage elsewhere but i don't know the problem.

Welcome to HP support community.
I have a few steps listed below that should help you resolve this concern:
Unplug the charge and use the laptop until the battery drains to 15%.
Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins.
Reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager:
1) In the search box, type and open “Device Manager”.
2) Expand “Batteries”.
3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.
4) Click on “Uninstall”.
5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
6) Shutdown the computer.
7) Remove the battery for minute and then put it back in.
😎 When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
9) Go to Device Manager.
10) Expand Batteries.
11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.
12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
Restart the computer and the issue should be fixed.
I hope that helps.
To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
Cheers
