hp laptop won't charge
i have an hp laptop that i got new in august before i left for school. today i noticed that it won't charge. when it's plugged in, the plug icon shows up by the battery so it recognizes it, but rather than showing the battery charging like it usually does, it just sits steady at a low percentage and when i unplug it, it's nearly dead. it'll stay on as long as i have it plugged up so it's gotta be recognizing the power source, but charging is the problem. what can i do? also i don't know much about computer problems and i'm a poor college student haha, so hopefully nothing too complicated!

Get a new battery for the laptop. Trust me I have had that problem before

It could be cause by broken battery or the cable wires. If it runs using batteries then the cable is broken and if it is running on ac mode only then the battery has the problem.

Take the battery out ... if it runs on ac only then the battery needs to be replaced ... if it wont turn on with ac only the adapter or cabling or connector is bad ...

I recommend buying a new cord, it's most likely your problem. And luckily, easy to solve!

Try a new charger cord? If you find someone who has a laptop like yours, you could just borrow it and see if it charges with their cord. If it does, you can assume the problem is with your cord. You can buy another cord online from HP.
