When using an HP laptop, you find that the indicator light is red. What does this mean? Don’t worry about it. There may be many reasons for the red indicator light. When the battery is not fully charged, the red indicator light will appear. Below we will help you to check the specific reasons step by step.
The red light is on when the laptop is charging
In most cases, the red light on the laptop is because the laptop is charging but not fully charged. This is a problem with the power indicator light of some old laptops. If the indicator light is green, it means that the battery is fully charged, so red means that the battery is not fully charged.
· Red and amber both represent lower than the charge point value and are charging.
· White and green mean that it is fully charged.
· No indicator light may mean that the power cord is not plugged in properly or is damaged.
So the red indicator light is normal. If the charging light is still red after a certain period, it means that there is a problem with the charger. Generally, it takes 3-4 hours to fully charge the computer. It is not ruled out that some computers take longer to charge. If the indicator light is still red after more than 8 hours, there is likely a problem with the charger or the computer.

The battery is aged or damaged, so that the power cannot be charged, and the red indicator light will be on all the time. At this time, you need to replace the HP battery.
The charger failure causes the charging to be unable to synchronize; the indicator light is always red, but the computer has no current entering, or it cannot be charged, and the HP charger needs to be replaced.
