	» Frequently Asked Questions

Is HP recalling its notebooks? Why?

No. HP is not recalling its notebooks. HP is only recalling the battery packs used with these products. The issue has been identified as being contained within the removable battery pack. The notebook will still function under A/C power, as designed, until you receive your replacement battery pack.

If my battery pack has been identified as eligible for replacement, and I have had no issues with it, could the battery pack have caused any damage to my notebook?

No. The issue identified is with the battery pack only and not with the notebook.
