Hi,
I think a red light means charging. (According to manual amber means charging) (source: HP Manual Download Link)
Does it change to white after several hours?

I understand when you charge your computer instead of the charging light being white it’s red, is that correct? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.

 

In order for me to better assist you could you please provide the full make and model of the PC you have. Providing me that information will better help me help you. If you're uncertain where to locate that information follow this link.

Hi,

 

I have the same issue. when plugged into my charger the white light turns red.

 

If I remove the battery the light goes back to white but still cant power up so unable to power the laptop up with or without the battery in.

 

I would have expected the laptop to start on the mains power but alas. 

 

I suspect the red light means the battery is dead so it would be nice to re calibrate it if the laptop would start up.

 

Hp Notebook 62-107SA

Serial CNF01333VV

Product VM954EA#AB4

 

I've tested with a altimeter and the power is getting to the battery terminals, also cleaned them.

 

Any ideas?
