Spectre X360 bulge, battery swollen?

[Klemenn]

Hi.

I have recently noticed a bulge under the keyboard of my spectre x360, I suspected that the battery is somehow swelling?

My laptop is working fine for now, but the bulge is quite worrisome and i can't afford to lose laptop functionality.

I've looked around and seen that theres a battery recall for some notebook models, but mine isnt concerned.

My laptop just got out of its 2 years warranty 3 months ago (of course it did!).

Is there any special warranty program which can help me replace my battery at low cost?

Bloated battery needs to be replaced.

There is no option other than replacement.

Two choices - actually three:

• Purchase and change out the battery yourself for the expense of having to purchase said battery.  This method is fast, not difficult, and costs you only time and the purchase of the battery.
• If the computer is in Warranty, contact HP Support, submit a case, prepare to send the computer to HP for repair.

Third, unofficial option

• Wait for an agent to find your message, evaluate the content, and respond.

Lots of people do opt for the third option - "bloated" battery is a sensitive subject for some and the idea of just changing out the battery is unacceptable for any reason.

The fastest option is to purchase and replace the battery.

We can provide the information to help you replace the battery.

There is also video available.

Essentially, the basic information you need is located in the Service Guide for your computer.
