Einleitung

A faulty battery could be the reason for the laptop not turning on. If you are certain that the battery needs to be replaced, follow this guide to replace the battery.

    • Make sure the device is powered off and the kick stand is retracted.

    • The HP Spectre should be placed on a flat surface with the keyboard detached.

    • To remove the screen, there is an entire system of clips which need to be undone as well as 4 Phillips M1.5x2.7 screws.

    • The screws should be removed using a Phillips #000 screwdriver. There is a sticker where the laptop attaches to the keyboard.

    • Heat the sticker (if needed) and use fine point tweezers to grip the sticker and remove it.

    Could you please some image of the screws and the tool you used?

    • Remove the connecting cable of the screen and battery. Use a spudger to reveal the adhesive strip and carefully peel it off.

    • Insert a spudger to the other end and release the ZIF connectors. Detach the cable.

    • While a metal spudger is pictured, use a black nylon spudger instead because it is ESD safe.

    • The battery for this device is under the screen and takes up most of the space.

    • Remove the six Phillips M2.0×3.5 screws connecting the battery to the device using the JIS 00 screwdriver.

    • Make sure to keep the screws in a safe place. You will need to use them to secure the replacement battery back in place.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to push the battery connector out of its socket.

    • It helps to "walk" the connector out by pressing first on one side, then the other.

    • Lift up the side of the battery that isn't glued down with adhesive

    • Use the spatula to gently scrape away the adhesive while applying a gentle upward pressure to help break the adhesive bonds.

    • A metal spudger was used again as pictured, but the black nylon spudger would be more appropriate to use.

Awesome, thanks a lot! My old Spectre’s battery now only supports less than 2 hours, wish I could replace it with a new one.

Claud Monet -

Clear - Complete - Accurate instructions led me through the successful replacement. glad I found this. Good Job.

Mayne Mihacsi -

Did the screen crack for you

Tiffany -

Where can the replacement battery be purchased?

Jay Mac -

Did the screen crack for anyone?

Tiffany -

Trying to find the best way for this because they told me that if the screen cracked would cost me 600 to fix, might as well buy a new computer for that price

Tiffany -

I cracked my screen during step 3. There are adhesive strips at the bottom of the screen and you do not want to flex the screen to pull it away from the strips. Just take your time and don’t put too much stress on your screen.

Also, I skipped steps 4-6. The battery was there and no need to remove that cable. Good Luck

@ Jay Mac, I purchased a deadstock HP battery off ebay for $26 shipped. I was skeptical, but it works and I get 8 hours of screen time out of it.

Dax Oster -

Hello, can you recall where did you buy battery from?

thanks

Dang Truong -

Hi, Yes the screen did crack for me.. i order from the supplier oversea, $145 for brand new one. so sad

imlazy.2015 -

Yes the screen cracked for me as well… this tutorial is kind of useless.

Thank you HP for making my device unrepairable, you’re on my blacklist now.

I had my Spectre x2 for only 2 years, and the battery was 100% dead, great job!

Bruno -

Where can I purchase the replacement battery?

M. B. Efulaty -

Got a Battery off e-bay and replaced, but something needs to be done for bios to see it. Battery works and says 100% charged, 225% in the control panel icon but the machine hibinates after about 10 mins, wake the machine up sausys 92% charged. Most of the HP diagnostics don’t recognise the battery even thought it works and is installed.

thanks for the heads up with the adhesive strips I ran a heatgun @ 100degrees_c along the bottom edge and under the kick stand

used gravity and the adhesive strips melted like butter screen came off no cracks, breaks or problems
