HP 15.6 inch Laptop PC 15-fc0000 (733M4AV)

Why does my laptop only starts charging after I restart or shut it down? When I plugged it in while using, it won't start unless I power it off first

Hi @ssshhai,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be glad to help you! 

 

Before diving into solutions, it’s helpful to understand the potential causes of charging issues. The three most common culprits are:

  • Power cord problems
  • Software/driver issues
  • Declining battery health

 

Let’s look at each of these in more detail:

 

Power cord issues

Constantly plugging and unplugging your laptop charger, wrapping the cord for travel, or accidentally yanking on it can damage the delicate wiring over time. Key components that can fail include:

  • The AC adapter
  • The cord connecting the adapter to the wall outlet
  • The cord connecting the adapter to your laptop
  • The charging port on your laptop

Any weak point in this chain can prevent power from reaching your battery.
