Hi @5CD313DSTF,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop is having charging issues and you’re also experiencing problems with the keyboard, here’s a structured approach to address these problems:
1. Charging Problem
**a. Check the Power Adapter and Cable:
- Inspect for Damage: Ensure the power adapter and cable are not damaged or frayed.
- Try a Different Outlet: Plug the charger into a different power outlet to rule out issues with the outlet.
**b. Examine the Charging Port:
- Inspect for Obstructions: Check if the charging port on your laptop is clean and free from debris or obstructions.
- Look for Damage: Ensure there is no visible damage to the port.
**c. Test with Another Charger:
- Use a Different Charger: If possible, try using another compatible HP charger to see if the problem persists.
**d. Perform a Battery Reset:
- Remove the Battery (if removable): Turn off the laptop, unplug it, and remove the battery.
- Hold the Power Button: Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds to discharge any residual power.
- Reinstall Battery: Put the battery back in, plug in the charger, and turn on the laptop.
**e. Check Battery Health:
- HP Battery Check: Use HP Support Assistant or a similar tool to check the battery’s health and status.
2. Keyboard Not Working
**a. Restart the Laptop:
- Reboot: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve keyboard issues.
**b. Check for Physical Damage:
- Inspect Keys: Look for any stuck or physically damaged keys.
**c. Update or Reinstall Keyboard Drivers:
- Device Manager: Go to Device Manager (right-click Start button > Device Manager).
- Keyboard Drivers: Find “Keyboards,” right-click your keyboard device, and choose “Update driver” or “Uninstall device” (then restart the laptop to reinstall the driver).
**d. Check for Windows Updates:
- Update Windows: Ensure your Windows operating system is up to date, as updates can fix hardware compatibility issues.
**e. Perform a System Scan:
- Run Diagnostics: Use HP’s built-in diagnostics tools to check for hardware issues.
3. Combine Charging and Keyboard Issues
**a. Ensure Proper Power Supply:
- Power Connection: Ensure that your laptop is connected to a stable power source and charging correctly.
**b. Check for Overheating:
- Ventilation: Make sure the laptop isn’t overheating, which can sometimes affect performance and functionality.
**c. Inspect for System Errors:
- Run a Full System Scan: Use antivirus and system diagnostics tools to ensure there are no software issues causing the problems.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
