I fiddled with the wire then and it charged constantly. I thought about the connection of the wire into the PC, but it seems odd that the wire placement didn't matter when the PC charged while off. Don't carry it around too much, so certainly shouldn't have finished the battery life cycle? I did that, and now it won't even charge with the computer off.Īnyone had something similar happen to them? I doubt it is the battery life, because I usually have it charging when I use it. I figured that couldn't be good for the battery and searched online, and a tip was to remove the battery and then put it back in. I left the wire alone, and it did the same thing. We faced the same issue on HP Spectre x360 as well.

I noticed that trying to move the wire around it would start to charge for a few seconds, then stop. The issue is more apparent with the Dell XPS lineup.The device stays connected to the power sources but won’t charge the battery cell. I let it charge overnight, and immediately when i turned it on, it stopped charging again. The battery only seems to charge when the machine is turned off and the lid closed (the battery light comes on). 6 Gaming laptop not charging through USB-C.

I have taken the 'light' descriptions from the HP Maintenance and Service Guide online booklet. It died again, and once it was off, it started charging. Am new to this and not very 'techy' so apologies. It died suddenly because the battery ran out (wasn't paying attention) and noticed it didn't charge when i turned it on.
