When you connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED light up? If not then - The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's power socket could be faulty. Check power adapter's DC plug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltage should be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that is printed on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the adapter is OK then connect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/battery charging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's power socket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position this LED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a dry solder joint where it is connected to the motherboard. This can be repaired but it requires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket and repair. If you cannot DIY then I suggest you get a quote first.
Compare your laptop voltage & ampere requirements
(written on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop) with the voltage
& ampere ratings of the power adapter. Voltages should be the same,
or the power adapter's voltage about up to 0.5 volts more than the
laptop's voltage rating. Amperage of the power adapter should be at
least equal to or greater than the laptop's rating. It should never be
less than the laptop's rating, or else the power adapter will be
providing insufficient amperes to charge the battery.
Yes, laptops can be connected to either a cellphone or another laptop using bluetooth device. Your laptop has an optional bluetooth adapter. If you didn't get that feature, you can buy a USB bluetooth adapter dongle. Click here to see a sample.
The ASUS power adapter is below spec and it may damage the adapter because the HP is drawing 45 W more power than it can deliver and will cause it to overheat.
The 17" HP requires 18.5 or 19 volts depending upon the model of the HP laptop (check the power requirements on the label on the bottom of the laptop). If the ASUS adapter doesn't deliver this voltage, it most likely won't power up the HP laptop.
Use the power supply/adapter from the other 15" HP. If this HP's adapter has a voltage output of 19 volts and the 17" laptop requires 18.5 volts, don't worry a voltage difference of 0.5 volts, the only problem is whether the power plug will fit into the power socket of the 17" HP laptop.
It could be a fault with your laptop which is drawing more current than what the AC adapters can supply.
OR
The adapters are under too powered for your laptop.
Check the voltage and current rating requirements of your laptop, this information is printed on a label on the bottom of the laptop.
The adapter should have the same voltage and current rating or same voltage with a higher current rating.
The reason why the adapter is running extremely hot is that either it is faulty and it's capacity too low for your laptop requirements.
Check the voltage and current requirements of your laptop, it is printed on a label on the bottom ofthe laptop.
The power adapter you require should be the same voltage and current (amps) or higher current rating that what is printed on the laptop label.
