HP Envy Laptop 17 - bw0xxx - Replacing the Battery
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- This video shows the process for replacing the battery in an HP Envy Laptop 17 - bw0xxx model. Make sure that you confirm that any battery that you purchase is compatible with your specific HP model. This video specifically covers model #bw0xxx. Your HP Envy Laptop 17 model might be different.
(A "T5 " star type screwdriver and a "P1" Phillips Head screwdriver are needed for this project. Though I used a P0 Phillips Head in the video, a "P1" seems to fit even better. Carefully test your screwdrivers for proper fit before doing this so that you don't strip the screws.)
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury and damage to the product, use extreme care not to puncture, twist, or crack the battery. An internal puncture or rupture to the battery has the potential to cause a short which may result in a thermal event.
Caution:
Improperly installing or replacing parts could damage your HP device or void your warranty. Before replacing any parts, check your warranty.

This is an incredible tutorial. I appreciate the detail on tools needed and potential pitfalls during the disassembly. Thank you!
Wow, thanks for the kind words. I am so happy that it helped you. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial. I had to replace my HP Envy 17M laptop battery, & the information you provided was critical for me to properly disassemble, remove the old battery and install & reassemble my laptop with the new battery. A word of CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE A FINGERPRINT READER (used for MFA security) you might have an issue with removing the rear panel on the laptop. I thought the screw was stripped, but instead, it was connected to the fingerprint reader. So I held my breath, & popped the rear panel off, & the fingerprint reader remained intact, & I had one less screw to worry about on reassembly. My old battery was bulging, & losing power with each day, so I'm grateful for your instructions. I took the old dead battery to BESTBUY, & they took it off my hands, to recycle it safely.
Thanks again for your nice comment. I appreciate it. Thanks also for the tip on the finger print reader, I don't have that feature (or don't use it), so it wasn't an issue for me but maybe your comment will help someone else. Thanks for mentioning it.
Thank you for an EXCELLANT tutorial. My wife has the same laptop and I couldn't take the 3 torque screws out because I didn't have the T5 size. I have a lot of different torque screws but not that size. I have NEVER even seen one that small. Thank you for identifying everything as you went along. Great tutorial.
Thank you very much. I am really happy it helped you. I, too, had no familiarity with T5 screw drivers until I had the need to replace my HP laptop battery. Through some research of the installation manual I came across that reference and, the next thing I knew, I was on my way to Home Depot to buy a whole set of star type screw drivers. I may never need such a screw driver again but, if I do, ... I am now prepared for any contingency! (side note: I did find, later on, that a Phillips "P1" screw driver was a slightly better fit than the "P0" for removing the Phillips head screws. I used a "P0" in the video, but the manual mentioned that a P1 is a better fit and I tried that and found it to be true.)
Thanks again for the VERY Informative video.@@goodcourseproductions5546
Thanks so much for this detailed video! My wife has the exact same laptop and the battery needed to be changed. Followed your steps and it's running smoothly again. I have to say, lots of youtubers could learn how to actually make helpful "how to videos" by watching and emulating your video. Thanks again for the awesome video!
Thank you for your kind comment. I am happy that the video was able to help you and your wife. Your comment made it all worthwhile. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this demonstration and detail about the battery to different types of screwdrivers. This helps so much.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching
Thank you so much for this video! It was just what we needed. Very detailed and we appreciate that for sure!
Thanks for your kind comment. I appreciate it. I’m glad it helped you!
I'd like to add my praise and appreciation for your outstanding video. Everything about your tutorial was ideal. You took your time, carefully explained each step, the tools, and cautions. The amount of talking was perfect, not too much, not too little. I'm very glad I found your video. Now I have to attempt to duplicate your instructions. Thank you again.
Paul, thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words. Just a quick reminder, when you order your battery, make sure it is compatible with your specific HP model. There are various versions of the HP Envy 17. Mine was specifically model #bw0xxx. When I bought my battery, I made sure it was compatible with bw0xxx. If you don't see your model listed, don't buy it. Thanks again!
@@goodcourseproductions5546 I had ordered my battery from HP and thanks to your video I successfully completed the switch. Thanks again,.
@@PaulHarsch1 Fantastic! Congratulations
What a great video! You explained everything very well. It gave me the confidence to change mine.
Thank you for your kind comment. Good luck!
Excellent tutorial. Now, I am not afraid to replace my Envy battery.
Thank you Stanley. I'm glad it helped. Sidenote: a "P1" Phillips head screw driver might work slightly better than the "P0" that I used in the video.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 Thanks for the additional tip. I do have that size driver.
Thank you so much sharing your knowledge. I have successfully replaced bulging and non-changing battery in my laptop. Your video also gave me confidence to do the replacement.
Glad it helped you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
Thanks for the help in pointing out those little screws!
You are very welcome. I’m glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.
This is the absolute BEST tutorial. It is very informative and extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope everything works out well for you.
Excellent instruction. I am blessed to have found your video. You made this installation go flawlessly. Thank you
You are very welcome. I am happy it went flawlessly for you. Enjoy ... I'm still using the same battery 2 years later. I hope you are as lucky as I was.
Excellent video - I have a new battery arriving tomorrow and now I know exactly how to go about replacing it Thanks for posting this!
Good luck. Thanks for watching. (I enjoyed your music by the way.)
@@goodcourseproductions5546 Thanks man - I"m glad you enjoyed my music! So I swapped out the battery today and am back to 100% charged, was really easy using your excellent instructions. The hardest part was finding the correct battery on Amazon. All is well now and the whole process probably took me about 15 minutes all together.
Fantastic ... glad to hear it!
I have the exact same computer. I'm ordering a new battery now and will follow these instructions. This was an excellent video. Thanks
Thank you very much. When you order the battery make sure that you absolutely check your computer's model number. (Not just HP Envy 17). That HP computer has various model numbers and you could order the wrong battery. My video specifically covers model #bw0xxx. Check yours, verify that the battery you order is for your model number. Good luck.
Thanks for the informative video, couldn't have done it without your help.
I’m happy it helped you. Thanks for your kind comment.
Thank you for a very detailed video...very helpful.
You are welcome. I am glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.
This tutor is very detailed and informative. Thank you very much
Thanks for watching!
I found so many videos for HP Envy notebook m7-u109dx but most of them didn't match my laptop. Thanks so much for posting your video, it matches mine exactly.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching. Make sure you verify, that the battery you purchase shows as being compatible with your specific model number. There are various batteries for the Envy 17, so just double check compatibility before you purchase. You should see your model number listed on the description.
Thank you for such an informative video! Great tutorial.
Thanks so much. I'm glad it helped you!
Damn, you are a life saver! I couldn't have done this without you! Thanks for making this video! 😊
So happy it helped you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This video was so helpful. Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting!
An excellent work. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! My battery died a couple of days ago. Now I'm confident I can get this thing back up and running!
Good luck … just make sure that whatever battery you purchase is compatible with your exact laptop model. There are various models of the HP Envy 17 make sure your model is listed on the compatibility chart on the purchase description of the battery.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 it worked! Thanks again!
I couldn't believe it this is my exact laptop ! Wow thx so much!!!
Great. I'm glad it worked out for you.
Worked like a charm. I was afraid I would mess something up, but it is pretty idiot proof. Saved me $50! Thanks 🙏!
So happy it worked out for you. Thanks for your kind comment.
Thank you. This was very useful.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Thanks for a very helpful video. I dared to do the battery exchange after watching your video. Battery came with a torx and a Philips screwdriver. Some things where different. I had no screws under one of the rubber lists, but I had 4 torx screws, eqaully long.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad it helped. My guess is that your HP Envy 17 was probably a slightly different model number. Mine was "bw0xxx" but I have seen others with a different model number that have screws just under one of the bumpers. I'm glad it all worked out for you. Thanks again.
Excellent tutorials exactly for dummies like I am. Step by step at a speed slow brains manage to follow. Very well done, you made my day. I have an idea I would like to share re the bumpers. Use an electric hair driyer to take the bumpers off and putting them on again. The heat reactivates the glue.
Thanks for your note. Good luck . Just be careful with the heat so that it doesn't damage your computer's electronics. Also, what you might find, as I did, is that when you peel off the bumper, the two sided tape will actually remain attached to your computer (not the bumper) and it will look like a clear seal over the screws. If I had realized it at the time, I might have made a slight puncture on the tape, over the screw, and then taken out the screws without the need to remove the tape. Then I could have just put the bumpers back on while tape was still in place and very sticky. ALSO ... "make sure" your computer model is listed on the battery compatibility charts when you buy the battery. If you don't get the precise battery for your model, you could get an error. Best of luck!
Great Tutorial ... Thank You!!!
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Excellent video!
Thank you. Make sure if you buy a battery that your purchase is compatible with your specific HP model. My video specifically covers model #bw0xxx. Your HP Envy Laptop 17 model might be different. Double check before placing an order. Thanks for watching.
Thanks very much. Very helpful!
Glad it helped!
Very good video.
Thank you ... hope it helps you.
Thank You So helpful Great Tutorial
Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
thank you for your help sir
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.
So good - thanks a lot!
Thanks very much!
Thanks so much for this video. If not for it, I'd probably be buying a new laptop now.
Wow ... thank you. I am so happy my video was able to help you. Your comment made doing it all very worthwhile.
Big thumbs up 👍🏼. I have a 17t ce0000 and the instructions are pretty much identical except for 2 fewer torx screws and one less Phillips. Otherwise identical.
Great to know. Maybe it will help someone else. Thanks for the thumbs up!
Thank this really helpful. My top tip don't do this on a grey carpet. The screw covered pinged out, damed if I can find it!
Good tip … good luck with your search …maybe you could pass a magnet over your carpet. You might get lucky!
Excellent. Ty so much
Thanks for watching
thanks... worked great.
Fantastic ... I'm glad it helped you.
Thank you so much!! 🙂👍👍 PS I have bazillions of guitar picks too. I'm surprised I didn't leave one inside the laptop 🙂
You're very welcome ... don't forget, if you are missing your favorite guitar pick ... you'll know where to look!
Hello, thanks for that video. Would you happen to know if the wireless module (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265) is compatible with Wi-Fi 6? I recently switched to that norm and noticed an improvement in speeds, but i'm curious whether replacing my module to a Wi-FI 6 model would make them even faster. Thanks.
Hello, I'm afraid I don't have any direct experience with Wifi-6, so I really can't confidently answer your question. You might try asking the question online on the HP customer service support page. They are pretty good at responding. I'm sorry I can't answer your question.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 No worries, thank you anyways.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I find that sometimes the screws on the back don't always want to come out easily. What happens is even once they are out they don't always stay on the screwdriver tip. I just keep a small refrigerator magnet near and use that to get them out. I find that it also keeps them all in one place so I still have them when I need them again. That is just so I don't have to turn it over and have the screws all fall somewhere I won't find them again. Yes they are small. Even worse however are the screws for the M.2 modules. They are smaller yet and sometimes a pain to put back in. I remember when I got a new motherboard with an NVME slot it was somewhat tricky to get it in. It kept falling on the motherboard. That is one more good reason to have a magnet near and also unplug the PC and hold the power button a few seconds to discharge the capacitors. I don't know if that really works so I am just careful when reaching in with the magnet so as not to short anything.
Thank you for your comment. I was lucky to have a magnetized screwdriver tip. That makes a world of difference and prevents the screws from falling off.
Thanks for watching. I’m happy it helped you.
I bought the LK03XL from Amazon and I’ve followed your instructions on how to install it. Apparently when I charge it, the battery light to show its charging is not lighting up. I even installed the old battery back in and it still wouldn’t charge. I can’t turn the laptop on
Did you confirm that the battery you purchased was compatible with your specific HP model and not just LK03XL? This video specifically covers my model #bw0xxx. When I purchased mine, it specifically said it was compatible with bw0xxx and it worked well and still does. Can you turn the laptop on when it is plugged in? Could it be your charger and not your battery? I would suggest contacting HP Customer Service for their input in case it's a non-battery issue.
Hi there , do you have a link to buy the exact same battery for that HP laptop model ? thank you!
You can find HP batteries at the following website if you have your "exact" model number. www.laptopbatteryexpress.com/ However, in my case, I purchased mine on Amazon. I searched the precise model number and bought an "ANTIEE" Brand sold by the "power VKZ" store. It is important that you check the compatibility chart on the Amazon description to make 100% sure you have a compatible battery. There are numerous batteries for the HP Envy 17. I took a chance with a non HP brand because the cost of the HP battery was about $112, whereas the Amazon alternative was $34.50. I took a chance, and it has been working flawlessly two years later. I am using it right now as I type this. Good luck.
Excellent video! Where’s the tip jar?
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. That's all the tip I need! Don't forget, if you purchase a new battery make sure that your exact laptop model is listed on the compatibility chart. There are various models for the HP Envy 17, so make sure you double check the model. Good luck!
I bought this battery from aliexpress the original LK03XL and surprised, it immediately i installed it, the battery had no info and i charged it for 2hrs, still wasnt showing charging, and after several minutes i used the laptop without pluggedin, my laptop switched off and since then it wont boot to desktop , neither will it reformat nor make a system .. it shutdown randomly ones it arrive at the HP logo. I dont know what to do.
Did you check to make sure your battery is compatible with your HP model? Like … my model is bw0xxx … you have to check that, not just LK03XL. Confirm that and the specific part number with your old battery. If it is correct make sure you completely engage your battery in the spot so that the connection is solid.
If you have the proper compatible battery, is it possible that your charger is bad and not the battery? I would suggest contacting HP customer service for their feedback.
EXCELLENT!! Thank you so much for this very detailed step by step instructional video. Do you think it would be okay to turn on the computer to make sure the battery is working and connected properly before closing it up and putting all the screws in place? Again thank you. You made it look so easy with all the right tools and use of the magnet. Very clever.
Thank you for your very kind comments. As far as testing it before the screws are in place, my guess is that the manufacturer would not recommend that, but I don't know for sure, so I hesitate to comment on something that might be outside their guideline. If you do try it, I would at least make sure that the case is completely snapped shut and sealed. Whether or not the screws are in place "on the outside case" might not matter but you don't want any of the electronics to slip or be exposed where you could accidentally cause a short or risk shocking yourself. Probably the best bet would be to secure it completely and don't take chances. Make sure you double check your specific model number "before" you purchase the battery to make sure it is compatible with your specific model. My model # in the video was "bw0xxx". Don't just go by "HP Envy Laptop 17", check your model #. Good luck.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 You are very wise. I will follow your advice. Yes I did order the correct battery from the model #.. Just a side question. Are you an educator? You are very detailed and I bet you are a very respected teacher if that is the case. If not, you still have my respect. All the best to you.
@@lionshott Thank you so much. I am retired now but when I was working, a good part of my job was to teach medical professionals how to use various types of medical equipment. It became important to be precise and detailed, as a mistake could jeopardize someone's health. I appreciate your kind comments very much.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 Just wanted to let you know I received my new battery today and watched your video on my tablet step by step. I had no problems. The hardest part was prying off the cover. I didn't have a guitar pick or anything that thin, but I did have a plastic pry bar I use to remove auto interior parts, it was a little thick, but once I got the initial corner started the rest just popped out easily. The battery is charging and hopefully will calibrate correctly. You are an amazing instructor. You left nothing out. Thank you again.
@@lionshott Wow, thanks so much for letting me know. I really appreciate your comments. It made doing the video all worthwhile. I agree with you that the hardest part is prying the cover off. When I was doing it, I was constantly worried that I would break it. When it suddenly popped for me, I was so relieved and that made me want to do the video as I figured I could help somebody else. In the video I say something like, "I can tell you, they don't make it easy". They sure didn't. I am happy for your success. Thanks again.
I have an Envy Laptop 17 - cw0555ng. It's brand new, I just had to put in service as my over 15 yrs old Toshiba crapped out.
The batterie of my Envy is non charging "dead on arrival". So I googled the problem which led me to your replacement instruction, which as other comments remark, qualify as "excellent".
However as for applying the instructions to my cw0555ng, there are no scews unter the "bumpers".
I'll try to take off the backplate after removing the 5 Torx screws, and I'll report if I got any further.
comment concerns the
Hmmm ... I 'm afraid I can't shed any light on your situation as my HP Laptop is a completely different model (mine is bw0xxx). Sorry about that. Since your laptop is "brand new", I guess my question is ... why aren't you contacting HP? I'm assuming you charged it for an hour or so first, correct? If it is truly "dead on arrival", there should be no reason that you should be trying to hunt down ways to remove the battery. It should work the second you open the box and, if not, close the box and coordinate a return. I would simply call HP, as they have very good customer service. See if they can explain to you how to proceed or coordinate a return.
having difficulty finding same battery on Amazon. what exactly did you enter to find this battery.
Matt , I got it on Amazon but it is not the "HP" Brand. It was hard to find the official HP version and the HP version was very expensive. I found a compatible one on Amazon that was only $34. I took a chance and bought it. It worked excellent. I have been using it flawlessly for a couple months. Search "LK03XL Laptop Battery for HP Envy" it is "ANTIEE" Brand sold by "power VKZ" store. It is $34.22. In the compatible laptop model section, make sure you see "bw0xx17".

@@goodcourseproductions5546 Thanks for responding! have that battrery saved on my lists because it was the closest match I could find. It just had a different part # than the one in your video.
@@mattmcguire2624 Hi Matt ... Yes, in the video, at the battery close up, I show the actual laptop battery as I wanted to make sure that I gave the exact "HP" model in case people wanted to put the money out for it. If you notice at the end of the video, where I am screwing it in (10:47 mark), the battery that I actually put in is the "Antiee" Amazon replacement. It has the other part number on it (if you zoom in). It works well and is about 1/3 the price, but I wanted to make sure I gave everyone the 100% accurate HP number.
what replacement battery did you use?
In my case, I ordered a compatible replacement on Amazon. However, it is "critical" that you first check the compatibility chart on the Amazon description to make 100% sure that you have a compatible battery. There are numerous batteries for the HP Envy 17, that vary by the model number. So the one that I ordered for my computer might not be the one you need for yours. You must make sure that your HP model number is listed as compatible with the battery when you purchase it. Mine was as an "ANTIEE" Brand sold by the "power VKZ" store on Amazon. You can find actual "HP" batteries at the following website if you have your "exact" model number. www.laptopbatteryexpress.com/
what to do if 1 of the screws is stripped?
I'm afraid I did not run into that problem so I'm sorry to say that I can't really give you an easy answer. You might just contact HP customer service to see if there is a local repair shop in your area who might have the proper tools and expertise to get it out for you. If you keep trying with screwdrivers that aren't the right fit for your model, or you try to force it, you could make it worse.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 ok..i was able to get the screws up and replace the battery..1 thing i had noticed is that above the old battery, there was a thin piece of aluminum like a heat shield..it was stuck on with light adhesive to the top of the battery..i thought about putting it on top of the new one, but i did not wind up doing that..not sure how important that is and if i should put it on top..
@@casst346 I'm glad you had success removing the stripped screw. As far as the thin piece of aluminum, I encountered the same issue. During the replacement, I decided to not purchase the "official" HP battery, and purchased a compatible alternative that was significantly less expensive. When I received it, I noticed that the thin aluminum piece wasn't there and, like you, wondered if it was a heat shield and if it mattered. I decided to take a chance, since it was an official compatible alternative, and just used it. I have been using it for over a year now, and have not had a problem. My computer and battery is still working well. (In the video, I showed the official HP battery as I did not want to lead anyone in a wrong direction and would let people make their own cost decision.)
where do i buy this buttery?
In my particular case, I ordered it from Amazon. I did not buy the actual HP battery. I purchased an alternate battery company that was significantly less expensive. (I took a chance and the one I purchased worked perfectly and still does.) YOU HAVE TO SEACH USING YOUR ACTUAL COMPUTER MODEL NUMBER. In my case, I searched "HP Envy 17 model #bw0xxx." I found an alternate battery that had my computer model listed as "compatible". Do not assume that your computer has the same battery that was pictured in my video. There are various models of HP Envy 17 computer. Search using your actual model number. Good luck.
If you don't use an HP battery you get a BIOS error "no HP battery installed", what can you do about this error.🤭
I did not use an HP battery but purchased one where my specific model number (#bw#0xxx) was clearly listed as compatible. I did not get a BIOS error and it is still working fine a year later. If you verified that the battery that you purchased was listed as compatible with your laptop model and still got an error, your question is probably best asked to HP's tech service from their website.
⚡️⚡️💻🪛🔋🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗thanks so much
You’re welcome . Thanks for watching
I tried for an hour to get the cover off and finally gave up.
Stay strong Jack ... don't give up. You can see from the comments that many people have successfully done it. I have faith that soon you will do it too. "If" you have the same HP model (#bw0xxx) make sure you first remove the screw that is inside the disc drive. That is the most critical step. After that, just follow the steps. It is not always easy, but it is not that hard. If you have a different model number, look for a TH-cam video specific to your model. Good luck.
@@goodcourseproductions5546 Thanks. You have more confidence in my ability than I do lol. I got that screw but still was only able to get the one easy side. I've already chipped the cover once and would rather have to be plugged in than break the cover in pieces. In the HP video the guy takes out 3 screws and wala. I'm pretty sure I will have to pay someone because I used every tool I have and really worked on it. I have no idea how to get the rest of the cover to release.
I certainly understand. I was worried about chipping or breaking my cover as well. I considered shipping it to HP or another professional repair shop as well but that worried me too. I didn't like the idea of losing access to my computer for God knows how long. So, I took a shot. After I removed all 12 screws, I used a guitar pick to gradually release the top. The guitar pick prevented chipping. There are little plastic tabs that snap the back on. After I released a few of them, the back suddenly released completely and I was home free. Perhaps I was lucky. I wish you the best. Maybe it's best to have a professional do it. As they say ... "it's better to be safe than sorry". Good luck
@@goodcourseproductions5546 I do appreciate the video and your input. I'm just frustated that HP makes it so hard. It's exactly the model that I have and the best video I've seen about it.
