HP sent me a new charger and the error continues. Best Buy Geek Squad suggested using a 90 watt charger. Will this void my warranty? I also need to send the replacement charger back to HP via Fed Ex. What a PITA.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
Firstly, let's try this:
- 1. Go to Start, search for Device Manager, and open this result.
- 2. Expand batteries.
- 3. Right-click on the ACPI option (usually the 2nd option) and select delete or uninstall. Follow the prompts.
- 4. Shut down the computer.
- 5. Disconnect the charger.
- 6. Remove the battery. (only for removable battery)
- 7. Hold down the power button for 1 minute.
- 8. Insert the battery only. (only for removable battery)
- 9. Attempt to turn the battery on.
And, also I did go through Product Specifications and found out your computer shipped with 45 W Smart AC power adapter, using 90 W AC changer might damage battery.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
