Introduction

Batteries are often the first components to wear out in electronic devices and as a result are a common problem. A dead battery can be frustrating, but fortunately replacing the battery on the HP Elite x2 1012 G2 is quick and easy.

    • Make sure the device is turned off before starting.

    • Orient the device so the back is facing you, with the kickstand up.

    • Turn the device over so the screen is facing you.

    • Place a suction cup firmly onto a corner of the screen.

    • Lift up gently until you see the screen separate from the casing.

    • Repeat this process for all four corners.

    • During reassembly, certain clips/edges may not snap into place properly even with a lot of force. To counteract this, lift the edge up, place the suction cup further inwards on the screen and pull it slightly upwards while pressing the edge of the screen downwards. The edge should snap correctly into the housing.

    • Lift the screen up and off of the device.

    • Pry each corner up first, otherwise you may damage or crack the screen.

    • Remove all six Phillips 3 mm screws around the battery by rotating in the counterclockwise direction with a Phillips screwdriver.

    Hat wunderbar geklappt mit dem Akku tauschen, habe vergebens nach Kreuzschlitzschrauben gesucht, entweder hat da jemmand schon mal was versucht oder liegt es daran das es ein G1 war, bevor ich mir einen neuen Akku gekauft habe über ebay habe ich vorher die Schritte 1-8 befolgt wie oben angegeben und aufpassen man sollte schon die richtige Volt und Ampere vergleichen, wollte erst einen kaufen für 37,99 €, beim näheren hinsehen habe ich gemerkt das dieser nicht passt, nun habe ich 44,99€ bezahlt und TOP, Gruß Mario

    • Remove the battery's connector by pushing both sides of the tab towards yourself with a plastic opening tool.

    • Lift the battery out of the device.

    Beim "HP Elite x2 1012 G1" ist es fast identisch.

    - Bei Schritt 3 konnte ich das Display nicht vollständig mit dem Saugnapf anheben. Musste mit einem Kunststoffkeil vorsichtig nachhelfen

    - Bei Schritt 5 habe ich den Stecker am Display, nicht am Motherboard entfernt

    - Bei Schritt 8: der Akku für das G1 hat sieben Schrauben

Hi, after the replacement battery
toch not working, help pls?

Parsa Aghabeikzadeh -

The first "Foil-Connector" in step 5 is for the Touch Feature. Make sure it fits propper!

Anselmbe -

PC not coming on, also not charging.

Abiola -

If your Notebook isn't charging, has Problems with touch or is not booting anymore, please check all of the three connectors you were to disconnect and make sure the fit propperly.

Maybe you need a magnifying glas to check the correct fitting.
