Introduction: Hey there, it’s Simon, and welcome back to another laptop repair video! Today, we’re tackling a common issue many laptop users face: a swollen battery. If your HP laptop cover is separating, the trackpad isn’t clickable, and there’s a noticeable lump on the battery, it’s time to replace it before things get dangerous. Join me as I walk you through the steps to safely replace the battery on your HP laptop.
Opening the Laptop: Let’s start by addressing the wobbly cover and unclickable trackpad. Using a small screwdriver, carefully pry open the rubber stoppers to reveal hidden screws. Once removed, switch to a slightly larger screwdriver to unscrew the top corners of the back cover. With the screws out, gently pry open the cover to reveal the battery.
Checking the Battery: Upon inspection, it’s evident that the battery is swollen, causing the trackpad issue and the wobbly cover. A swollen battery poses serious risks, especially during travel, as it could potentially explode under pressure. Early signs of a failing battery include an unclickable trackpad, a swollen or hard resting area, and poor battery life.
Replacement Battery: To replace the battery, you’ll need a compatible replacement model, such as the HT03XL. You can find replacement batteries online, and I’ve included links in the description for your convenience. A healthy battery should be flat, unlike the swollen one we’ve encountered.
Outro: With the replacement battery in hand, the process is straightforward. Simply remove the old battery, insert the new one, reassemble the laptop, and you’re good to go. Don’t forget to securely fasten all screws and ensure the back cover is properly aligned.
