A charging complaint needs the complete power path checked before parts are replaced.

Possible causes

Common causes include a worn battery, incorrect or failed adapter, damaged DC socket, loose USB-C port, firmware issue or motherboard charging-circuit fault.

Useful observations

Tell us whether the charging light appears, whether the laptop runs from the adapter, whether the plug must be held at an angle and whether more than one USB-C port has been tested.

Bring the adapter

Bring the charger used with the laptop. HP systems can react differently to an incorrect wattage, damaged cable or unrecognised adapter.
