HP Spectre x360 Series: Looking for Replacement Battery

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:00:41 -0700

Hello Community,

I’m looking for a replacement battery for my HP Spectre, which I believe is the 15-inch model. At the moment, the laptop still works fine without a battery because the old one is no longer working.

Unfortunately, the battery is not available in the I fix it store, so I wanted to ask whether anyone could recommend a trustworthy seller where I could purchase a replacement battery.

Please find attached a picture of the original battery that came with the HP Spectre.

Thank you in advance for your help! Bet whishes, Franziska Klenk

HP Victus 15: No signs of life besides the LED light indicating that it's charging

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 17:39:56 -0700

My HP Victus 15 has been dead for a couple of days now, the power button doesn't show any light when I press it, doesn't turn on at all, there are no sounds or heat coming from the laptop, only the LED light that indicates that it's charging.

I've tried holding the power button, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery etc, etc. I'm not sure what to do. Is it a motherboard problem? If so; then I'm royally screwed.

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 09:28:59 -0700

Im having an issue with my Gigabyte Aorus 15g KC laptop, and i dont know what to do next.

It has happend the day after i installed chrome, and i can see there has been a windows update the day prior to.

All of a sudden, the screen is black. I have tried everything i can think of.

Was in the other room for 10 minites. Came back and the screen was black / off.

The screen on the laptop is black no matter what i do.

Im listing all the thing i have tried so far.

Connected it to a external screen, and it worked with both hdmi and mini displayport.
No boot screen anywhere. So unable to hard reset.
Tried accesing repair mode. No luck. The external scrren only shows a picture when it has loaded the win 11 login screen.
Tried booting from win boot usb drive.
Updatet all graphics drivers
Updated bios (via gigabyte control center)
Rolled back windows update
Tried to reset from windows. It wouldn't let me.
Updated every driver
Pulled the battey and the cmos battery.

After i pulled the battery, a can't even get a picture via hdmi or min displayport anymore.

What do i do next?

Thank you.

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

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 07:21:25 -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?
