  1. thank you it helps, i need to disconnect the power connector too fix a display problem, i watched your other video it was good

  2. Nothing will get the back cover off of my laptop – guitar pick, flat screwdriver, knife blade…………nothing. It doesn’t even budge.

  3. OMG Thank you!!! i know nothing about computers and mine was much different from yours but i just took the ram out “the only piece i could identify other than the big black battery” and it worked!!!!!!

  4. Brother I have changed my hp omen 15 battery yesterday. And today the pc freezed on me 6 times. Is there someway to know what the issue is ???

  5. My battery has like a plastic and leather casing around it, it’s weird, it’s also the little paper things attached to the motherboard that I don’t want to break. How do I remove something like that?

  6. Thank you! You definitely saved my motherboard because i didnt realize the black plastic slid out from the metal casing 😅

  7. so i replaced the battery on my HP laptop but it still won’t turn on. what other issues could i possible be having? the power cord works on my daughters laptop so i know the cord is good. could it be the power supply unit?

  8. I replaced the battery and my Microsoft programs and files are gone . Nothing showing on my ribbon at the bottom . I do have internet acess

  9. Damn, mine is much complex i gave up when i tried to disconnect mother board there was a small spark that happened when i tried to remove that small metal in 5:58 so i got scared that i screwed something up. Hope i didn’t, but i did do a cleanup that’s something. The reason why i tried to remove battery is because my laptop won’t charge, and work since battery is depleted.

  10. Im having a problem with one screw, is it possible to bypass one screw to get the cover enough out of the way?

  11. If i simply unplug it from the motherbord without physically taking out can i run the laptop without battery or does it have to be physically removed?

  12. I’m here bc the Computer store tried to charge me $50 to do this. I asked if I can just change the battery myself? (didn’t realize it’s not like the older laptops). I paid the fee, but hey, electronics don’t last as long as humans do, I’ll have to change a battery again someday; might as well learn now for next time 🤷🏾‍♀

  13. Thanks Josh. I have a BROAGE Achelous with a dead battery, apparently a common problem. Can you advise how to identify and replace the battery?

  14. HP laptop is giving me a battery replacement message through the HP Support Assistant program. Internal testing shows 21% of full charge capacity remaining. I’m only using the laptop always plugged into AC at home. Wondering if I ignore the replacement message will inhibit any functionality of the laptop. Did not see your link to the "no battery" option. Good video!

  15. My Ideapad 330s 14kib comes with a two-cell 7.4v battery. can I upgrade it with a three-cell 11.1v battery? If yes, should I also upgrade the charging adapter? It comes with a 45-watt adapter. Any suggestion??

  16. Wow, I was so afraid to remove all the screws and take out the internal battery but I followed your instructions and it worked! Thank you!

  17. Is it possible to disconnect the battery but leave it in there, or are there any dangers like short-circuits, overheating….?

  18. Thank you soooo much for the way you broke everything down. Video was the most helpful out of the ones I saw prior to finding you. Definitely gained a new subscriber.

  19. Simply brilliant! 72 year old woman changed her own battery! You rocked that video!….thank you very much!

  21. Ugh I tried opening the back off but where the clip where the touch pad was it just wouldn’t come off 🥲 but amazing video ❤️

  22. Thank you sir bahut help Kiya apki video ne mai toh Darr Gaya tha ki 3-4k ka minimum kharcha ayega abhi Bach Gaya yaar ram ko dusre slot me dala saaf karke theek hogya❤❤🙏

  23. Thank you so much my laptop was unresponsive for days and taking out the batter my and ram and plugging it back in fixed it

  24. THANK YOU so much for a very clear, step-by-step video, especially for the close-ups of the battery and wiring. Following your instructions, I opened my Lenovo laptop and successfully replaced the battery. I did it, thanks to you!
