Hi, You can try taking out your battery and use only the charger (AC adapter only ) to see if the computer works. If your battery less laptop works fine that way, it is most likely that there is a problem with your battery. You can also try testing your battery by substituting a battery that's functional from another laptop of the same model. If the substituting battery works fine then you may need to replace your battery :( I recently used this company to purchase a new battery fro my laptop.

Here is the link for the company I used. http://www.ebatts.com/hewlett-packard_laptop_models.aspx Hope everything works out well for you!
