HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 Battery Replacement

Introduction

Is your laptop struggling to hold a charge? If so, here is the guide to fix the problem by replacing that faulty battery. In order to replace it, the back cover of the laptop must be removed to expose both the Phillips head screws which secure the battery and the battery itself.

Before replacing the component, please remember to power down your computer and unplug the power cable to avoid any power surges or shorts. Failing to power down and disconnect the power cable may result in further harm to the laptop or even yourself, so precautions must be taken.
