Charger Light on HP laptop not working?

Asked by magnusvfx (4points) September 5th, 2018

My laptop went down 7% charge today. Unfortunately I was not able to charge it due to power failure. But when I plugged the charger into its port there was no sign of charging in laptop, No lights showing. when I hit power button on laptop, the charging led blinks 6–8 times and stops. I don’t know what to do. Let me know the reason if anyone knows it. Thank you.

I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but did you make sure the outlet you are using is working?

How old is your battery? Batteries die eventually, and there are two sure-fire symptoms of that:

1) as they are going through their death spiral, you get far less time per charge before they die

2) the battery may not accept a charge in the first place.

One thing to test. Take the battery OUT and plug the cord into the laptop. If it boots up properly then you have a bad battery,
