I was getting the "plugged in not charging ' error. I went through all of the steps and noting worked. I read a post pointing out that it might be the plug. My issue is now resolved the the laptop is charging while on.
Here was the issue. My plug was not able to fully insert into my laptop. I have an HP Envy. Inside of the plug is a wire. If that wire is bent, the plug can't insert into the computer all the way. The picture below shows the plug with the bent inside wire. That was my problem. To straighten the wire, I inserted a tiny flat head micro screw driver and I was able to straighten the wire back to center. I plugged it back into the computer and I was able to fully insert it. That solved the problem.
