Introduction
Before using this guide, please review the troubleshooting page as some of these problems can be resolved without having to replace the battery. Oftentimes simply rebooting the device or updating drivers can solve these issues.
A working battery is a necessary part of a functioning laptop. One that is faulty can lead to the device not being able to turn on even if it is plugged in to the power adapter. If the device does turn on, it may not be able to hold a charge for long periods of time or it may even shut down suddenly. Another sign that the battery is faulty is that the laptop is overheating; this is because the battery is working harder than usual, which can cause it to heat up.
Be sure to purchase the compatible battery replacement for this laptop, which is a Li-Polymer battery with the following specs: 3560mAh, 53Wh, 4 Cell. In addition, make sure the device is powered off and unplugged from its power adapter before starting to prevent damage to the device as well as to prevent the risk of electric shock.
