Worn out after only 2 months (possibly repairable)

I bought this computer about two months ago to use it for writing, watching videos and simply surfing the Internet. Yesterday I get a low battery warning so I go to plug it in and when I come back it's off. Okay, I think he's dead, no big deal. Unless it turns back on. Then I realize it's not loading. After about an hour and some Googling, I reset the battery and this time it turns on. About five seconds. I repeat the whole process again and leave it on overnight. Then if I repeat the same thing I get about five seconds and it shuts off. Bottom line: I ordered a new charger from HP hoping the problem was that I received a non-genuine charger with my device. It should arrive on Monday, but I don't have a computer until then. Although I could use it, it was a working laptop. Nothing fancy but it did what I needed with pretty good speed. The keyboard is a bit small, but I scaled it down from 17 inches to make everything feel small. It was a refurbished laptop. But there is no reason why hardware fails after just a few months.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Almost everything there
