font-weight: 500; color: #0073a8;\\\">A few symptoms of a battery related issue include:</p>\\r\\n      <ul style=\\\"margin: 0 0 20px 24px; padding: 0; list-style-type: disc;\\\">\\r\\n        <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 8px;

color: #495057;\\\">Make sure that you are using the AC adapter that came with your Notebook to prevent damage to the battery. Using an incorrect or older adapter can cause battery issues.</p>\\r\\n        <p style=\\\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #495057;\\\">If you need to purchase a replacement AC power supply, make sure that you use the model number of the computer and check for the correct part number for the adapter from the HP Parts Store at <a href=\\\"https://parts.hp.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" style=\\\"color: #0096d6; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 500;\\\" onmouseover=\\\"this.style.textDecoration='underline'\\\" onmouseout=\\\"this.style.textDecoration='none'\\\">parts.hp.com</a>.</p>\\r\\n        <p style=\\\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #495057;\\\">To troubleshoot the power supply, plug the AC adapter directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or alternative power source.</p>\\r\\n        <p style=\\\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-weight: 500; color: #0073a8;\\\">Make sure that the Notebook is receiving power from the power source by checking the following areas:</p>\\r\\n        <ul style=\\\"margin: 0 0 0 24px; padding: 0; list-style-type: circle;\\\">\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the computer and to the AC adapter.</li>\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">If the AC adapter connection to the computer is loose, the connector might be damaged and require repair.</li>\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">Verify that the power button or power light is illuminated when the computer is on.</li>\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">Depending on the model, the battery indicator light might be white, green, or amber when the power adapter is connected and is providing power to the computer.</li>\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">If the AC adapter brick features an LED power indicator, check to see if the light is lit to verify that the computer is receiving power from the wall outlet.</li>\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">If the light does not turn on, try plugging the AC adapter into a different outlet to check the power source.</li>\\r\\n          <li style=\\\"margin-bottom: 6px; color: #495057;\\\">If the light still is not lit, you might need to replace the AC power adapter.</li>\\r\\n        </ul>\\r\\n        <p style=\\\"margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #495057;\\\">Feel along the length of the AC power cable and check for any kinks or breaks. Check the ends for any broken connections and inspect the AC adapter brick. If it is discolored or warped, or if there are any problems with the power cord or connections, contact HP to replace the AC adapter.</p>\\r\\n      </div>\\r\\n\\r\\n      <!-- Step 2 -->\\r\\n      <div style=\\\"background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #0096d6; border-left-width: 4px; padding: 16px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 4px;\\\">\\r\\n        <p style=\\\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; font-weight: 600; color: #0073a8; font-size: 15px;\\\"><strong>Step 2: Test the AC adapter using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics</strong></p>\\r\\n        <p style=\\\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #495057;\\\">If the computer starts, you can use HP software to test the AC adapter.
