Good day!
did you give it 24hrs to finish a charge?
the PC has a charging chip inside.
new battery from whom>?
the line pack is not a charger its line power pack,
it converts 120vac (or 240 outside usa) to 19vdc.(Or your spec)
the 19vdc runs the PC perfectly with no battery installed DOES IT>
that is the first test. the power pack must be the the correct pack
for:
voltage
current (never lower spec)
and watts.
if not the correct power pack it will now work correctly
the watts can be higher no problem,

if it runs ok on line power no battery
then we try the battery. (give it 24hrs for stubborn old batteries)
if the power pack is ok, it will charge, (spec pack as HP tells you)
if the battery is bad it will not.
if the charger chip in the PC is bad (MOBO BAD) then it will not

testing takes, skills and tools, one tool is a voltmeter
lacking that tool, one can only guess.
what not get your PC repaired by a TECH.???????

here is your HP page, its non trivial, no>?
see that they have 5 power packs used
that is BECAUSE they HAVE many power levels of CPU/GPU
faster rated CPU'GPU need more power.

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-compaq-nx7400-notebook-pc/1847094/how-to

you never once said
it runs perfectly on AC power only
not once
nor it does not overheat. nor if the fan works and vents all are free of lent.

I looked up this question with the same problem and while the battery was placed in with the right side in, the three metal tabs weren't on the right side with the three metal chargers- so I had to spin it around the other way...i hope i'm explaining this right...now it's charging! I am so glad. This camera is excellent.

If your system won't boot up with just the AC adapter connected, it means to say that there's a problem with the AC adapter or the motherboard of the computer. Basically, if the AC adapter or the motherboard is damaged, you won't get a charged battery. If there's another AC adapter that you can try your computer with then that will be great. If antoher AC adapter works, then you just have the AC adapter replaced. If a known AC adapter didn't work then you may need to consider replacing the motherboard of the computer.

Do you have another power cord to check? Most places like bestbuy is willing to let you test a universal power cord for your type of laptop before you buy. Usually in your case, the power cord or connector has gone bad. If you test the laptop at the store and it doesnt work then its your connector but if it works. you could consider buying that power cord.

The power connector for these Compaqs are notorious for failing when they get a bit grimy. Try wiggling the connector or cleaning it or even gently squeezing with pliers.

HP Compaq NC8430: Laptop does not want to charge battery

Take the battery out, plug in the charger and see if the laptop works. If it works, the battery may be the problem. Check the AC Adapter
Check to make sure the adapter is plugged securely into the wall outlet, connected firmly to the adapter box and to the back of your laptop. Most AC adapters have a little light in them on that rectangular box in the middle of the cord that lights up when it's getting electricity. If that light isn't on, try a different outlet. Check your fuse or circuit breaker box and plug a different device into that outlet to make sure there is power to it. If it still does not light up, your adapter could need replacing. Also check the adapter box for signs of warmth, as it will generate heat when it's plugged in. No heat means no power.

Remove the Battery Sometimes it's as simple as a seated battery. Remove the battery entirely and clean out any dust, lint or hair that may be clogging the connectors and preventing a proper connection. Reseat the battery securely and make sure the little locking pins that hold your battery in place are securely fastened and there is no movement.

My hp compaq turned off by itself and won't turn on now, it won't even show the charging light when the charger is plugged in

Remove the PC labtop battery then re insert it again.
If still not charging check the charger connector if its connected as well.
If there was no problem in the charger connector,Check the charger itself.
These all what you need to check only,no problem in your labtop.
If still not charging means one of these :
1- The BATTERY may needs to be changed .
or
2- The charger may needs to be changed.

Hi,
Remove the battery from the portable and disconnect the Ac adapter. Press and Hold down the power button for 15 seconds.

Hp compaq nx7400 - battery died and power cord will not turn comp

Some laptops will not power up with a completely discharged or faulty battery. Remove the battery from the laptop, plug in the power cord and try to boot the system. If the system boots, your battery needs to be replaced. Replace your battery as soon as you can, it's not a good idea to run the laptop for extended periods with an open battery bay.
