Why is it so difficult to order a battery?

I have an HP Pavilion, am logged into the HP web site and have tried several times to search for a battery. It's coming up that one is not available. My laptop is only a few years old. Is this planned obsolescence? It's been a time suck. 

 

Laptop keeps telling me I need a new battery.

 

HP battery check says my battery is "OK."

 

Battery does not run for more than 45 mins to 1 hour.

 

Even the guy at the repair shop could not find the part for me.

 

Any help appreciated.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement power button board? I can’t seem to find one for the  hp envy x360 convertible 15M-bp111dx, is there another model like the 15u that will work instead.  I don’t know if the M model is just a store specific model. 

HP Laptop Upgrading Questions

Hello, I have an HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 laptop from 2012. It currently has two 4gb sticks of RAM that I would like to upgrade to two 8gb sticks of RAM to increase performance. That is simple enough and I know how to do that but I also would like to upgrade the original HDD in the laptop to an SSD storage because simple things like opening applications like the internet and games has gotten very slow over the past few years. I believe I know how to do this but I am unsure how to configure my laptop to work with the new SSD and am unsure what to do with my computer before upgrading it with my files and whatnot so my computer does not get wiped. 

 

If anyone could provide my with product numbers or even links to the products on Amazon that I should buy (the RAM and the SSD) that would be greatly appreciated.

I only use the laptop for web browsing, videos, MS Office and the odd  game, On the specifications page it say's "Up to 15 hours and 30 minutes".

Any ideas why?

Need help disassembling my HP 17 P161DX laptop

$

I'm no stranger to disassembling desktops and laptops but many of my experiences have been with computers from the 90s/00s. Unfortunately the laptop started having overheating issues right after the warranty expired. A computer repair shop determined that they couldn't fix it, and they returned it with the hard drive separate so I could recover my files. I would like to take a look inside but am having difficulty.

 

I've removed the battery and all of the screws. It appears that the palmrest pops off the top and I can start this process with a guitar pick but something is holding it down. I suspect there may be a screw or something else at fault under the corner covers. I've never had to deal with corner covers like this before and can't find any videos for this model.

 

Can someone please provide me with a service manual, disassembly video, and/or tips for removing the corner covers? Thanks!

I can only use my laptop through Second display or remote display, neither of which are accessible now because since I enabled safe mode through msconfig cmd, it has disabled all network adaptors ( at least the ones I use to remotely connect to my laptop) I tried hard resetting it with the removable battery and I don't seem to have changed the adapters status, or the light on my wifi key is orange(off) not blue,(on).

Is a Hard Drive Hardware Kit required to install a ssd in the HP Pavlion 14-c050nr Chromebook

Is a Hard Drive Hardware Kit (or some other items other than the ssd) required to install a ssd in the HP Pavlion 14-c050nr Chromebook?

Manual:    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03735120.pdf

 

I have this chromebook, and I have a ssd to install.  Page 32 of the manual implies that a Hard Drive Hardware Kit is required for something as it reads; "NOTE: The hard drive spare part kit does not include the hard drive cable, or hard drive bracket and screws." but it isn't very explicit.   It also includes this chart which isn't very explicit.

Description                                                                                                                                            Spare part number

9.5 mm (0.37 in) × 6.35 cm (2.50 in), 320 GB, 5400 rpm,                                                       SATA 622643-005

7.0 mm (0.28 in) × 6.35 cm (2.50 in), 320 GB, 5400 rpm,                                                        SATA 645193-005

16 GB solid-state drive,                                                                                                                      SATA 713526-001

Hard Drive Hardware Kit (includes hard drive cable, and hard drive bracket and screws) 697905-001

 

Rephrased: Do I need a kit of some kind of any other items to install a new ssd?

It may not be worth buying other parts to install this hard drive that I have, and I don't really want to disassemble the chromebook only to find that I can't install the ssd without other items.

Any help would be very much appreciated.    

If you reply, would you mind letting me know how you know, e.g. experience with this model, another source, I'm psychic, etc.

And thanks beforehand.

I have had my laptop for 8 months and the left hinge is broken.

I opened my laptop today and I heard a cracking noise.

The screen is not damaged but the plastic cover is popping open and I can't open it all the way.

I keep my laptop in a case when I am not using it and I am very careful with it and it always stays in my room.

I don't open and shut it all the time.

Specifically, I need to know the best available RAM I can buy for my laptop.
