Hi @srbhat,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP Victus laptop's battery is not charging beyond 7%, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow.
Check the Power Adapter:
- Ensure that the power adapter is properly connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet.
- Check for any damage to the power cable or adapter. If there's damage, you may need to replace the cable or adapter.
Inspect the Charging Port:
- Examine the charging port on your laptop for any physical damage or debris. Clean it carefully if necessary.
- Try using a different power outlet to rule out issues with the electrical socket.
Restart Your Laptop:
- Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve charging issues. Save your work, close all applications, and restart your laptop.
Update Drivers:
- Make sure that your power management and battery drivers are up to date. You can check for updates in the Device Manager.
BIOS/UEFI Update:
- Check if there are any BIOS/UEFI updates available for your laptop on the HP support website. Updating the BIOS can sometimes resolve power-related issues.
Battery Health:
- Use the built-in Windows Battery Report or HP Support Assistant to check the health of your laptop's battery. If the battery is degraded, you may need to replace it.
Power Settings:
- Adjust your power settings to ensure that your laptop is configured to charge the battery properly. You can do this in the Windows Power Options.
Check for Software Issues:
- Sometimes, third-party software or background processes can interfere with the charging process. Try booting into Safe Mode to see if the issue persists.
Reset Power Management:
- Reset your laptop's power management settings to default. This can help if there are any misconfigurations.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
