I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your HP laptop. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Shut down your laptop.

- Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then turn on your laptop.
Check for Physical Damage:
- Inspect the charging port for any debris or damage.
- Ensure the power adapter and cable are in good condition.
Update Battery Drivers:
- Open Device Manager.
- Expand the "Batteries" section.
- Right-click on "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" and select "Uninstall device".
- Restart your laptop to reinstall the driver automatically.
Run HP Battery Check:
- Use the HP Support Assistant to run a battery diagnostic test. This tool can help identify if there's an issue with the battery or charging system.
Check Power Settings:
- Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
- Ensure that your power plan settings are not causing the laptop to stop charging intermittently.
BIOS Update:
