Battery will not charge. Laptop only turns on with charger plugged in.

My battery will not charge. The laptop will only turn on if it is plugged in with the charger. Does this mean that I need a new battery?

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

If that shows your battery as bad, then yes you need to replace it.
I did this recently on an old HP laptop, so I read the product number printed on the battery, Googled for online battery stores that carried it, ordered one (for $25), and had it within 3 days. I could have had it overnight if I was willing to pay the shipping -- but the laptop was running OK on the AC cord, so I could wait a few days.
Good Luck
