Resolving a low battery level when the computer cannot exit Hibernation

adapter to the computer and to external power.
2. Exit Hibernation by pressing the power button.
Storing a user-replaceable battery
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to a battery, do not expose it to high temperatures for
extended periods of time.
If your computer will be unused and unplugged from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the
battery and store it separately in a cool, dry place to prolong the battery charge.
A stored battery should be checked every 6 months. If the capacity is less than 50 percent, recharge
the battery before returning it to storage.
Disposing of a user-replaceable battery
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture; do not short
external contacts; do not dispose of in fire or water.
See the Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices for proper battery disposal. To access the user
guides, from the Start screen, type support, select the HP Support Assistant app, select My
computer, and then select the User guides.
Replacing a user-replaceable battery
Battery Check in HP Support Assistant notifies you to replace the battery when an internal cell is not
charging properly or when the battery storage capacity has reached a weak condition. If the battery is
possibly covered by an HP warranty, instructions include a warranty ID. A message refers you to the HP
website for more information about ordering a replacement battery.
Running on external AC power
For information on connecting to AC power, refer to the Setup Instructions poster provided in the
computer box.
The computer does not use battery power when the computer is connected to AC external power with
an approved AC adapter or an optional docking/expansion device.
WARNING! To reduce potential safety issues, use only the AC adapter provided with the computer,
a replacement AC adapter provided by HP, or a compatible AC adapter purchased from HP.
Connect the computer to external AC power under any of the following conditions:
