I bought this computer about two months ago to use for writing, watching videos, and pretty basic internet browsing. Yesterday I get a low battery warning so I go to plug it in and when I come back it is off. Ok, I think, it died no big deal. Except it doesn’t turn back on. Then I realize it is not charging. An hour or so and some googling later, I have reset my battery and this time, it turns on. For about five seconds. I do the whole process again and let it sit plugged in overnight. Next mroning same thing, I get about five seconds and it shuts off.End result: I have ordered a new charger from HP, hoping that the off-brand one I got with my machine is the problem. It should arrive on monday but until then I have no computer.While I could use it it was a functional laptop. Nothing special but it did what I needed it to with pretty good speed. The keyboard is a little small but I’m down sizing from a 17”, so anything would feel small.This was a refurbished laptop. But there is NO reason for hardware to be giving out after only a few months.
