HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-ae0xx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, 

I have HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-ae0xx and it is powering of in the middle of the work process. It looks like when it is charged it is not detecting that it is charged and it is powering off. I have to restart and plug in to power on. I have to repeat this several times. Sometimes it powers on without the plug in. Sometimes it doesn't. Also powers off when it is plugged in. 

 

After powering off I have error in black screen "Primary internal battery 601 error ". Battery doesn't seems affected, it is holding the charge as normal. Battery check: no issues detected.

I have reinstalled drivers "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control method Battery"  and the issue still persist.

Please help as my laptop is powering off.
