Compaq Presario V5000
When HP recalled some batteries recently, I tried to remove mine from the 3
year old laptop, but the sliding lock is frozen in position, preventing the removal. I've removed the battery when I increased my Memory Module some time ago. Any ideas? Thanks, Gerry |

I've removed the battery when I increased my Memory Module some time ago. Any ideas? Thanks, Gerry Gerry, I had a similar problem with 2 of the HP's at work. On one of them, I had to push the battery in hard and, while holding it in, slide the lock open. The other one, I had to push the battery in and have a friend tap the slide open with a wide-bladed screwdriver. That battery had leaked, or had gotten condensation in the latch area. New batteries worked fine, though, and a little WD-40 on the mechanism cleaned it up well. SC Tom |
