Introduction |
It is necessary to remove the battery to make most repairs to thea laptop in order to prevent being electrocuted. The battery in the HP Envy m6-p114dx is located inside the computer housing, which will need to be removed. Symptoms that may indicate a need for battery replacement would be the depletion of battery charge in unreasonably short amount of time, or excessive heat during operation or charging. Creating a backup of your hard drive is recommended in case of damage caused during battery replacement. Ensure that the laptop is unplugged and powered off before attempting to remove the battery. Once removed, other repairs can be completed and/or the battery itself can be replaced. Consult local regulations for the proper disposal of batteries.
Warning: if the battery appears swollen, is extremely hot, or has a bad smell be very cautious. At home removal can still be accomplished, but consulting a professional is recommended.
