Laptop Destroyed By Just Replacing The Battery | Don't Do This!

This Dell XPS 9700 laptop got ruined during a routine battery replacement. Dell XPS 9700 Parts List https://ppci.me/c/143/1438 This laptop was mailed to our repair shop because we specialize exclusively in Dell and Alienware laptops. The customer ordered a battery from us and installed it using one of our YouTube videos, but after installing it, the laptop would not power on and would blink, with orange and white lights. In this video, I am going through the entire diagnosing process and showing everything I tried before I finally could repair the laptop. This one was tricky because it ended up not being a failure of a laptop component but instead, damage caused by the customer while opening the laptop. 🛠️Need Replacement Parts or Repair for your Dell or Alienware Laptop We have specialized exclusively in Dell laptops since 2002 and stock more than 500k genuine OEM Dell laptop parts. https://www.parts-people.com/ 🙎‍♂️About me I (Nathan) have been working on and repairing Dell laptops for more than 25 years, and in 2002, I started Parts-People.com, which is a company that specializes exclusively in Dell and Alienware laptops.
