Hi @sivaragu,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop is plugged in but not charging, it can be caused by several factors. Here's a list of troubleshooting steps you can try.
Check the Power Outlet:
- Ensure the power outlet is functioning correctly by plugging in another device to confirm it provides power.
Inspect the Charging Cable and Adapter:
- Look for any physical damage or fraying on the charging cable.
- Make sure the adapter is not damaged and securely plugged into both the outlet and your laptop.
Check the Charging Port:
- Inspect the charging port on your laptop for any debris or damage.
- Ensure the charger is fully inserted into the port.
Test with Another Charger:
- If you have access to another compatible charger, try using it to see if the issue persists.
Restart the Laptop:
- Sometimes a simple restart can reset the charging mechanism.
Check Battery Health:
- Windows: Go to Settings > System > Battery > Battery health to check if your battery health is degraded.
- HP Support Assistant: Use the HP Support Assistant tool to run a battery check.
Update Battery Drivers:
- Open Device Manager (right-click the Start button) and expand Batteries.
- Right-click on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery and select Update driver.
- Restart your laptop after the update.
Reset the Battery:
- Shut down the laptop.
- Remove the battery (if removable) and charger, then hold down the power button for 15-20 seconds.
- Reinsert the battery, plug in the charger, and power on the laptop.
Check for BIOS Updates:
- Sometimes, updating the BIOS can resolve charging issues. Check HP's website for any available BIOS updates for your laptop model.
Battery Calibration:
- Fully charge the laptop, then use it until it completely discharges and turns off. Recharge it fully again to recalibrate the battery.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.

Hi,
I visited the HP dealer to check the issue and found out that the charger is faulty. Please send a technician to inspect and replace it, as my device is still under warranty. I appreciate your prompt response.
Thank you.
