Hello, I started to dismantle the battery of my Huawei Honor 8x but using the PVC card that deteriorated my battery and I ended up with a small spark followed by smoke in the lower left corner (I suppose that two elements are affected). My question is the following,
Not being able to completely remove the battery, it remains 1/4 glued, can I remove it without risk ? Or does it risk making thermal runoff or other ? Sincerely

Good morning,
Did you unplug the battery before operation ? You must maneuver carefully because if the battery has been damaged, this can cause other collateral damage. And even if the risk is minor, take precautions being in an airy room with protections if you have a doubt. Otherwise, do not hesitate to go see a professional to finish the operation.

Hello, my wife has a laptop with the dead battery, it’s a 4200, I changed it for a 7200, and the new battery is discharged very quickly, but this recharge very quickly, because it is Not the same ability the problem comes from there ? Or it’s just a defective battery

Good morning,
I do not know which phone model you are talking about, but it is not recommended to take unidential batteries to the original at the risk of causing collateral damage (dysfunctions, overhang, etc.)). In short, it is very likely that the too large capacity is not compatible with your phone or that it is not really real capacity.
Sincerely,
Sandra

Good morning,
By following your tutorial on how to replace a Huawei P20 screen, I damaged the battery (it’s not easy to take it off without damage!)). The black battery packaging was torn apart. Then I go up without risk or I have to replace it? Is this black envelope right there to make it pretty or has it a waterproofing role (I don’t have the impression in sight) ?
Thank you
cdlt
Nicolas

Hello Nicolas,
If the battery is not pierced or folded, it should go.
But I can’t help but advise you from replacing it if you have a doubt about the integrity of the battery because it could inflate, cause overheating and other collateral damage to internal components …
Sincerely,
Sandra

Hello, I was told that it was not recommended to change (or change) the battery of a laptop that does not open, you have to take off the screen and it can seriously damage it. You confirm? Thank you very much

Good morning,
No, I do not confirm, on the contrary, because 99% of current smartphones have no hulls that are clipped. It would mean that you cannot repair anything !!
Manufacturers generally make this kind of remarks to encourage you to go through their service (and pay +), but we have thousands of tutorials that explain how to change your battery yourself. Depending on the models you have to take off the screen or the rear side, but nothing rod with the right tools and patience ��
