HP ZBook 15: ZBook only charges the battery when it is switched off

Mon, 05 Oct 2020 05:48:01 -0700

Hello, my ZBook only charges the battery when it is switched off. As soon as Windows (or Linux) starts, the loading process stops. The light on the charging socket lights up. Bios has been updated. Battery and power supply driver removed and reinstalled. Power supply was exchanged. The device won't start without a battery (is that normal with the ZBook?) Would swap the charging socket next. Does anyone have any other idea?

HP ZBook 15 G4: How do I instal a new SSD with a heatsink in my laptop

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 07:29:45 -0700

I bought a new SSD, but I don't want to just install only the SSD. I'll like to install it together with a heatsink for the SSD. Is this possible for my laptop? Is there enough space in my laptop to install the SSD with a heatsink?

If the answer is yes:

a). How do I go about this?

b). What is the best heatsink you'll recommend for the job?

If the answer is no, any ideas on how to keep the SSD running cool and not overheat?

Also, what is the best thermal paste you will recommend for my laptop processor and Graphics card?

The laptop is HP ZBook 15 G4 Mobile Workstation

HP ZBook Firefly 15 G8: display or lcd problem .

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 08:01:55 -0700

I am facing some problems with my laptop display, like if I play YouTube for 1-2 hours on Google Chrome, when I go from YouTube to another app or site, I still see that part of the display that shows the YouTube logo and the area where the video was playing shadowed out. Not Only Youtube, after running Facebook or any other application and exiting it, I also see light traces of that application on my screen. However, the LCD test performed on the laptop does not indicate any such problem. However, I encounter that problem when running any other program. These marks disappear on their own when I keep the laptop closed or shut down for 2 to 3 hours. As you can see in the image, I was working on Google Sheet for some time, but when I leave the site, I still see the Google Sheet work in the display. is that a display problem?#help

HP ZBook 15 G6: CPU/GPU fan replacement advice requested

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 13:17:59 -0700

In my laptop ZBook 15 G6, one of the fans starts making noise, rattles. (expected L30894-001 or L30895-001) The laptop is now almost 4 years old and this seems to be a known issue.

Does anybody have an idea how 'difficult' this exchange of both fans could be?

In terms of experience, I'm used to work with fine mechanical parts and not a total newbie in electronics. I also have an ESD bracelet and some small tools.

Thanks in advance!

HP Zbook 15 G6 disassembly instructions by HP can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7392w2ta...

I'm indecisive yet to do this myself or get help.
