Alienware 17 R4 Battery Replacement | Dell Alienware

[@cordelia2431]

absolutely insane the amount of work necessary to replace the batter on the 17 r4. on the 17 R1 you can just pop off the back and the battery is right there. definitely not looking forward to having to do this lol

[@lindsayd6962]

Me either. I have been running my laptop plugged in for over a year now. I don't even see the point in changing it at this point.

[@colinmarr6154]

I should have read this first. I ordered a new battery but no way am I going thru all this.

[@KingoftheRoad-2023]

i go through this every year cordelia-its so frustrating as the battery swells after one year and i have to open the damn thing-only Major laptop that i have so-gotta get dirty like this

[@TheVerbalAxiom]

2:45 Imagine telling people what you're going to remove next but not actually doing it on camera 😐

[@kitykat713]

I figured it out! You gotta move the little silver pieces holding onto the edges of them. Push them outward and it should let the stick pop up to where you can pull it out easily

[@baller84milw]

3:33 That shit did not come off easily at all, that was the hardest part.

[@debrabaker9351]

what a cluster! Alienware sure didn't make it convenient to replace a battery I will toss my Alienware and buy something better designed! Bravo to you for attempting this mess...

[@joeyhinchman3583]

I guess I should be glad I got an older model, the battery is so easy ro access

I need to repair my battery so I hope whenever I get to it, this tutorial will work

[@seeker6755]

That is more less complicated than my Alienware 15 R2, the Battery location of that one requires serious surgery. Mine is old so I prefer not to touch or remove anything, Batteries usually Dies first. All I did was Unplug it.

[@dikoman516]

The 17 won't turn on with the battery unplugged...

[@Rodrigo_Souza]

That was a great vídeo the information was clear enough to do the replacement at home , thank you.

This was an awesome Tutorial, Thank you!. I just finished replacing the battery of my Laptop Alienware 17 R4 and it was a success. It is a lot of work but nothing complicated.

Hi,can a 68wh battery be replaced with 99wh battery?(alienware 15 r3)

[@YvonSmart]

It's always recommended to use the same specs battery for replacement for optimal performance even though a different specs battery with the same physical caracteristics could fit and work with no issues. The computer will still treat the battery as a 65wh battery which can lead to charging issues or swelling overtime. So using a different battery is taking chances

[@dapoadimula3167]

@@YvonSmart thank you

[@mustafanazifart]

thanks Yvon.. it wil be helpful.

[@jraymundotunortiz9138]

Can I just remove the battery and keep the charger plugged in? I short on buying a new battery and my laptop is all I have to do homework.

[@YvonSmart]

Usually it's possible but some recent laptops with build in batteries won't run correctly or even turn on at all. But it should work perfectly on Alienware. You could just leave the dead battery inside unless it's swollen like mine

[@jraymundotunortiz9138]

[@YvonSmart]

The battery is doing very good, last 2h30min on average use, and more than 3 hours on battery saving mode. It's just like the factory battery

I replaced the battery but it's showing bios error what do i do

[@ZenjiBanjo]

Good thing we don't have to disassemble our cars and trucks to replace a battery.

[@KingoftheRoad-2023]

7:31 is that Msata with 2 teeth to place it in? or it has just one tooth to slot it in?

[@YvonSmart]

This is not an Msata SSD drive. This laptop does not support Msata drives. The slot is a M.2 (M key) meaning single notches, and the ssd drive I installed is an M.2 (B+M keys). But it still works perfectly. Keys explained here drive.google.com/file/d/1VQQgVZnH4id3vWMIzsVMTJs9nc6Hobg8/view?usp=sharing

[@KingoftheRoad-2023]

@@YvonSmart i have a 17 r5 newer than this -just opened it and the slot only has ONE NOTCH meaning NVME. So how did you insert 2 notches in there and the laptop has only a space for ONE NOTCH?

[@YvonSmart]

@@KingoftheRoad-2023 Hi! I had to edit my first comment as I said that the slot is a two notch, I meant the opposite. Two notches on the SSD drive, but but a single notch on slot. Two notches drives can fit into one notch slot. But one notch drive cannot fit into two notch bay. There is no physical blockage of the second notch on the bay (slot). In fact two notches slots do not exist (at least I have never seen one). All slots are one key so the laptop can support most drives

[@KingoftheRoad-2023]

@@YvonSmart actually the dell site says it can support MSATA but its good to know that the slot can even fit SSD with two NOTCHES like yours which is rare.Most NVMEs only have ONE NOTCH and Msata 2 NOTCHES.The laptop does have a slot with ONE NOTCH as i opened and saw it

Hola, si es posible. Si no tiene la batería nueva, puede quitarla y hacer funcionar la computadora portátil únicamente con el cargador. No intente actualizar su BIOS si desea ejecutar su computadora portátil sin batería.

[@KingoftheRoad-2023]

DO YOU STILL have this laptop? i keep replacing the swollen battery every year as it gets swollen and the fan keeps making so much noise even when its DOING NOTHING-mUST BE A DEsign Flaw with DELL

[@YvonSmart]

Yes, I still have this laptop 5 years running strong. Let's say that it requires some fan cleaning often especially if you are a heavy gamer. Your environment also affects it, like using it on the bed which is so detrimental as the fans are always suffocated and lint gets inside the fans. If your battery keeps going bad, insure that you are using the right charger (330 Watts). It's such a big laptop that most people tend to keep the charger connected and use it as a desktop computer. That's very bad for the battery and the SSD drives life span. Always insure you are buying genuine batteries

[@KingoftheRoad-2023]

@@YvonSmart i dont think keeping working with electricity without a battery like i do affects the ssd drives.Now i keep it permanently plugged to power without any battery inside and its more efficient that way-no bloating, no fan noise and its lighter.do you still have your LAPTOP?

Anyone with a Late October 2017 Alienware 17 R4 have issues where if your going between multiple open tabs that the laptop disconnects from your home wifi and you have to restart your laptop to get it bak on the wifi? Any suggestions? I ran diagnostics my wifi card is fine and nothin is malfunctioning. Thnx in advanced!

[@YvonSmart]

Try installing updates manually form the support page www.dell.com/support/home/en-us?app=drivers you will be surprised how many drivers are outdated and the laptop never prompts you to download them.

[@mikebarron8702]

I have the same issue.. But I broke the wire for my HDD where your samsung is.. Now I need to find a why to replace it so I can recover my info..

[@vesto6864]

Doing the time you changed the battery how many hours was the battery lasted after used?

[@YvonSmart]

I don't understand your question, but it took me about an hour to replace the battery and the new battery last 2h30min on average use, and more than 3 hours on battery saving mode. It's just like the factory battery.

[@cybrpunk]

How did you clean the fans?

[@YvonSmart]

I used compressed air for dusting (in the can), some tweezers to pick dirt and wet Q tips to clean tight spots

[@victoriousfox]

Where can I buy the original battery? Only fake batteries I found in internet. I'm from Indonesia

[@baller84milw]

Was the case okay after replacing the battery or was it damaged? I have the same thing happening to my alienware 17 r5.

[@YvonSmart]

The case was still good after I put it back together. It has quite good quality plastic, it recovers after being bent for a long time. I only had to re-glue two standoffs back in their socket because the swelling pulled them out overtime.

[@balaganesh3440]

Mine too, happened for a second time after replacing the first battery, now using the laptop without battery

[@Dmitriyrdi]

Is it works without battery?

[@YvonSmart]

Yes it works. But will shut down if you remove the charger

[@TheAmerica4evr]

Is any other better battery to replace it with?

If you have the same computer (Dell Alienware 15 R3 R4 or 17 R4 R5 ) You can get the one I'm using here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BBN83CZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Wouldn't recommend nothing untested

[@JohnnyNewby]

My alienware say's "Warning the battery cannot be identified. The system will be unable to charge this battery" What should I do, as it says this when I turned my computer on before it boots up windows? I got the exact same battery as well.

[@YvonSmart]

Your battery is not compatible, I recommend getting the right battery for your laptop. Do not ignore the warning pop up. Running the laptop without a battery is safer than using the wrong battery

[@YvonSmart]

@@joshuagraham2843 you can use a replacement charger as long as it is certified. The charger your computer was bought with has a voltage and current rating on it. Remember those specs and only buy a replacement charger with the same specs. It's a powerful laptop that requires specific amount of power

[@MasterChris666]

fucken a pain

[@blazehashirl268]

This is the second time my battery does this shit.. why does this keep happening

[@YvonSmart]

It's due to Lipo battery chemistry. That's why most laptop use 18650 style batteries, they don't swell. Many gamers leave the charger connected for weeks and use the laptop as a desktop computer which I'm guilty of also. That constant charging is the battery's worst nightmare. Also make sure you are using the OEM charger as some chargers are universal, they will charge your laptop but if the voltage and current on the label do not match the manufacturer' specified values, the battery will degrade slowly
