Before starting, make sure your laptop is fully powered off and unplugged from any power source. Use the right tools—typically a screwdriver set included in the package—and work on a non-conductive surface to prevent static electricity damage. It's also wise to wear anti-static wristbands to protect sensitive components.
This tutorial will guide you in detail how to remove the HT03XL / TF03XL / 920070-855 / HSTNN-LB7X / Pavilion X360 14M-CD 15-CC Series laptop battery. You can watch the tutorial video below.
Step 1
Remove all screws from the bottom of the laptop, as shown in the picture below (Note: There may also be screws under the adhesive strips at the four corners, so you need to remove all the screws before proceeding to the next step)
Step 2
Use a plastic blade to separate the laptop case. Do not try to speed up the process, as there are many small buckles that need to be separated, so be sure to use the tool slowly and multiple times with moderate force to open the back cover.
Step 3
After opening the back cover, the battery is located in the lower right corner. Next, we need to use a cross screwdriver to remove the screws according to the marked position.
Step 4
After removing all the screws that hold the battery in place, simply lift the battery opposite the pin and slowly slide it out. Do not lift it at too large an angle to prevent the battery from breaking or getting damaged.
Step 5
After replacing the battery, reinstall the removed screws one by one and secure them.
Step 6
After aligning the back cover of the laptop with the corresponding groove and adjusting it to a relatively suitable position, assemble the four corners one by one.
Step 7
Then reinstall all the screws.
Tip: The adhesive strips sometimes don't cover well enough to ensure they stay in place. You can apply a little glue to the corresponding positions to better prevent them from falling off.
Step 8
Finally, press down with a certain amount of force to ensure that the back cover of the laptop can fit completely so that it can be used normally.
