 @0xabad1dea @SwiftOnSecurity I had an HP Envy that was like that. I ended up opening it up and found a few bits of stray metal in there, likely from HP doing a terrible job of countersinking the back case. I cleaned it out, handed it off to someone else. I hear it's more reliable now, probably. You could not pay me enough to ever look at another HP. 3 comments
 @croyle @rotopenguin @0xabad1dea @SwiftOnSecurity Haven't seen that yet, and we sold a bunch of compatible batteries to clients using HP laptops. OTOH, I will never ever recommend any Envy or Pavillion (or any other made-for-home HP computer) – practically every single one of these we sold had some kind of problem, and the warranty service support is atrocious, completely different from the business service.  @jernej__s @rotopenguin @0xabad1dea @SwiftOnSecurity Glad you've avoided it. It's happened with mine and displays the non-HP battery warning every time I boot. HP EliteBook 830 G6 i7. Lots of online references to it happening. |

@rotopenguin @0xabad1dea @SwiftOnSecurity I have a refurb HP laptop. Overall it's nice, but HP injects their firmware that you can't turn off that will nag you every single time you start up if you use a non-HP battery. So typical of them. I will never buy another HP pc.
