My HP 15-dw-0083wm laptop started flashing 5 long and 3 short lights. I opened the back which is remove the long rubber feet one has 4 phillips screws and one has 1 screw then there are 2 screws on the front of the bottom remove those. The cover clicks off with an old credit card as a tool.
Once you get the bottom cover off unscrew the battery maybe 4 screws. Remove the battery and then replace it.
My computer turned back on no problem so far. It's working great.
