Primary Battery replacement

[LadyHeron]

Hi. My Sleekbook shows me the 601 error.

Just done the battery check with HP support assistant: error ID REOOW

and UEFI shows me this: FAILURE ID RLN3VG-6HD8JV-MFPWWJ-CO8MO3 Battery status: REPLACE

So, what now? Need to replace the internal battery? My poor baby is doomed?

Need help, thanks!

Hello @LadyHeron,

How did you confirm that its the BIOS( RTC) battery.

If you are sure that its the RTC battery, go to the below guide, See page-51

Hello @LadyHeron,

This is a slightly misleading error as it does in fact refer to your notebooks main battery, and I suspect its not the cmos cell.

To confirm that this is the case, try the following.

Please check the page below and see if battery reports any problems.

Little update. So, I tried to take off the external battery and use the laptop without it. It works! The 601 error is vanished...so It's the external battery that I have to replace?

I hope it's not. If was the BIOS battery, the laptop has time settings problems, right? The only problems mine shows is this 601 error. The Battery Check shows only 24% of capacity. So if I replace only the external one I should be ok, right?

Thank you! Finger crossed :catwink:

Let me understand this right !

Please look at the below pic and confirm, is that the battery that you took out and is this what yor are saying as external one. Because to take the BIOS battery, SYSTEM Board needs to be removed.

Yes! That one on the photo.

I know that to took out the BIOS battery you have to remove many parts, and be really carefull 🙂 

So I hope it's more simple and I can easily replace just the one in the photo 🙂
