Introduction
If your HP Pavilion dv4-4141us shuts down unexpectedly, fails to turn on, or the battery drains quickly, the battery may be damaged or malfunctioning. In this case, follow this guide to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. This guide is also applicable to the HP Pavilion dv4 Series, HP Pavilion dv4-4000 Series, HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook, and HP Pavilion dv4-4000 Notebook.
A functioning battery provides the necessary power for portable laptop use. However, a defective battery might charge slowly, display fluctuating battery levels, or cause the laptop to overheat while charging.
Prior to following this guide, make sure the laptop is completely turned off to prevent short circuits when removing or replacing the battery. If the battery has been exposed to extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, allow it to reach room temperature before continuing. Additionally, avoid charging the laptop on soft surfaces like a bed or couch, as this can block ventilation and cause the laptop to overheat.
After removing the battery, follow local electronic waste recycling regulations for proper disposal. For more information on battery safety and disposal practices, click here.
