Fixing HP Envy x360 Common Issues: Battery & Hinges

Posted on April 29, 2022April 29, 2022 By Gustav Eriksson

This article will discuss some of the two most common problems with the HP Envy x360: the battery and hinge problem. The HP Envy x360 is a consumer grade laptop that has been around since 2014. It has been a great laptop PC, which is why HP has continued to develop this product. But there have been reports of issues, like hinges misaligned, issues with bluetooth, audio sounds being muffled and overheating. If you purchased an HP x360 in the last few years, you probably spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $700-$1,200 on it depending on the hardware that came with it. So, if you’re having these issues, then chances are you don’t just want to throw it away and get a new one, but rather spend some time on it to get it fixed.

Step 2: Make sure the pin in your laptop cord is not damaged. There is a small pin inside the laptop cord that connects into the laptop to deliver power.

Step 4: Update your battery drivers. Press the Windows key and type in Device Manager. Find your battery, right click on it, and press Update Drivers.

HP actually released a video on Youtube showing how to replace these hinges. Hopefully more recent designs have been updated to fix this issue going forward. The video is okay at describing how to fix the problem, but there are definitely other ones out there you can find that may be a little more helpful.

Ultimately, you will have to take out the system board and dismantle the screen to get to the hinges. It is a difficult project and can be stressful to complete. Before you do anything, you should check to see if it can be covered under the warranty. HP’s warranty website is here:
