HP ZBook Firefly 14 G11 questions

[Andi316]

Hello,

the Firefly 14 G11 (Model 86B03EA#ABD) is interesting. Which parts are replaceable?

- WiFi Card?

- RAM Modules?

- SSD?

- Battery?

Especially the AX211 Wifi Card (only Wifi 6E) is important to know. Because I would replace it with BE200 (Wifi 7).

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual which should answer all of your questions:

Maintenance and Service Guide HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G11 Mobile Workstation PC

I see that chapter 3 of the service manual indicates that both the Intel BE200 vPro and non-vPro cards were offered in the model series.

Thanks a lot. I didn't think to read the manual.

Are there batteries with higher capacity available? The standard 56 Whr is not so powerful. It does not have to be from HP, maybe some 3rd party manufacturer?

You're very welcome.

According to chapter 3 of the manual, only one battery is offered in the model series:

Battery N59787-002

I looked up the battery description on the HP PartSurfer website and here is the description of it:

I have replaced the AX211 and installed a Intel BE200 vPro. 

The Laptop connects only with Wifi-6 settings. "Protocol: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)"

Are there any BIOS limitations when changing the WLAN chip?
