HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15t-eb100: Laptop crashes while waking from sleep while on battery

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 03:18:56 -0700

Hi folks - I recently replaced my laptop battery on the hp spectre x360. Battery seems to do fine while the computer is up and running - steady orange light when it is charging, steady white light when it is full. However, when I boot from shutdown or wake from sleep, it shuts down and won't start up when on battery power - I need to be plugged in for that. It crashes just as it is waking up.

HP Hardware Diagnostics and Windows power diagnostics aren't turning up anything, and no updates to the firmware from what I can see in the device manager. At my wits end, any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Here's the image of the battery report

HP Spectre x360 15-df0000 Series: Warning about non-HP replacement battery on boot

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:29:43 -0700

Since HP does not make an OEM replacement battery for HP Spectre x360 laptops, I purchased a non-HP battery from iFixit for a HP Spectre x360 15" 15-df0013dx. The battery is HP SU06XL. It installed fine and charges and works fine, but on each boot a BIOS like screen appears saying it's a non-HP battery. Then you either wait like 10 seconds or press enter to continue booting. Is there any way to stop this warning? It's not the end of the world but I would like to get rid of that warning if possible. Thanks.

HP Spectre X360 13-aw0xxx Repair: Laptop screen is black/red tint but touch screen is working.

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 06:36:47 -0700

My laptop screen suddenly stays black when turning it on. Sometimes I can see some boot text and HP logo with red tint before it just dissapeared. There is no visible physical damage to the screen. I have plugged it into a monitor and everything is working and it detected both internal and external screen. The touch function on the screen also working. Should I order a new screen? There doesn't appear to be a backlight for the screen either. Is there any way to see if the display cable is loose without removing the screen?

HP Spectre x360 15" (15t-ap000): Edge of motherboard damaged by screwdriver, now won’t power on.

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 13:19:27 -0700

A customer of mine attempted to replace his own internal laptop battery and now it won’t power up in any way.

When taking the bottom cover off, I found that a hinge support screw was loosened that was partially below the edge of the motherboard causing a circular gouge in the motherboard. At closer inspection, I saw several layers of copper traces along the gouged edge. See photos below.

Would important traces be this close to the edge of the PCB that carry current to the CPU, etc.? Is this likely the cause of the power failing to turn on? (If so, obviously a new motherboard would be needed to be replaced, not worth the older laptop.)

HP Spectre: The laptop starts but caps lock flashes and overheats laptop.

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 02:24:37 -0700

The laptop starts but the caps lock button keeps repeatedly flashing and the laptop overheats to the point its extremely hot. We know it turns on but the screen stays black and the caps lock begins to flash multiple times and still does not turn on.
