The 8 year old battery is no good.,
join millions like you and buy one, even have 2,
one for a backup. (like on vacation, or?)_
x2(times 2)
Battery probably needs to replaced, if you put in the battery and ac adapter, HP will give you message battery health not good, require replacement. Or if you see the battery icon in windows, it may say battery needs replacement even though it says charging.
lets show the hands of all folks with any 8 year old battery that still works.
crickets.
1 to 2 years average
or 300 cycle's is the life. 80% lost
8years no way, possible

Sounds like a dead battery. After 2 years battery degrades and cant push as much power through. Sounds like load is too much for battery to handle. Replace battery or upgrade your computer. I suggest Asus laptops.

These devices are more like cellphones. You charge it when it needed some charging. Once full, you remove it from the main plug and use the battery. If you do otherwise, it'll shorten the lifespan of the battery.
Running programs themselves do not directly cause damage to the physical device. They may form as one of the elements that can cause, say your processor to work harder and therefore needing more power from the battery. But apart from that I think it's wrong to say that programs themselves were the caused of the battery failure.

Hi,
Considering the change in time and date,I would suggest you replace the CMOS battery.This battery helps in memory storage of your PC.
Have you tried the charger on another PC maybe?Try it,and if it fails replace it.
Remove the hard disk and re-fix it again.
Hope this helps.Thanks!

The power supply is the issue, or the DC jack in the laptop has developed bad connections, or ram issue. Remove 1 stick of ram and power on, if no! remove second one, and replace the first, power up, if no! test the power supply for proper voltage, if okay! it is a DC jack or motherboard problem.
Could be an error with the wireless assistant or maybe a corrupt wifi driver. The following link is for the HP wireless assistant, try downloading and installing it:

This is the link for HP support where you can try downloading a new wifi driver. You will need to know what wifi adapter is installed to get the correct driver:
