Hi would someone please be able to help. Something very odd has happened to my HP Pavilion Aero 13. Charging from either the usb-c or standard HP AC barrel port has always worked just fine for me until today. Now the barrel port does not charge my laptop when I plug it in nor does the little led battery light turn on. However, very oddly, if I first plug in my usb c charger and then subsequently put in my ac barrel charger and then unplug the usb c charger, the laptop charges and the led light next to the ac barrel charger port remains on. that makes me think that there's no issue with the charger itself as it still can charge, but only if plugged in with the specific above sequence. any help would be greatly appreciated!!
