Problem of Battery

[DL125]

Hello,

After 2.5 years, I found my laptop Envy 15z inflated. This issue comes from the inflated battery. You can see the battery in the attached photos. With this state, combustion and explosion will easily happen. Lucky I remove it before that happens. Very disappointed and never buy an HP laptop again.

Hi @DL125, Welcome to the HP Support Community.  

Apologies for all the inconvenience

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, 

I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue, and in order to fix this issue,  your computer needs to be serviced.  As we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now,

As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest youContact HPin your region regarding the service options for your computer. 

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.   

Have a great day!

HP agent asked me to communicate in a private mail.  But they didn't or didn't want to understand the problem that comes from the design of their product. After 2.5 years, the battery could explode at any time because of a bad design or manufacturing defects. They gloss over that notebook is used for a reasonable period of time.

Bad service!

And now the photos are disappeared.

Finally, HP accepted to replace the battery of my computer without a fee.

It takes one month with some arguments with both HP US and HP France. HP US has escalated the issue to HP France to review the computer. In the beginning, both HPs processed it as normal wear but not as a health and safety risk. HP France asked me to contact their technical support. I refused and asked if they recognized the problem and if they could propose a useful solution. Finally, they classified it as a health and safety risk case. It was very quickly afterward.  It took only 3 days for review, reparation including delivery time.
