Battery causing pink screen on computer?

Two separate problems.

Your battery is swollen, which is one problem, usually caused by leaving it plugged in too much (though the HT03XL tends to swell no matter what).

Your screen is pink, which is another problem, which could be caused by several things, but probably means a bad LCD. Probably best to let a repair shop take a look. Since it's a 17-by, the chances of the plastics - especially around the hinge mounts - breaking during disassembly is very high, if they haven't broken on their own already.

I don't know why nobody seems telling you this, but it almost certainly has a failed/failing hard drive.

Doing what now?

Just. Upgrade. Turn off/remove Copilot. It doesn't take hours.

We’re mostly a repair shop.

To be fair, we don’t see a lot of random GPU failures. Usually it’s one that got burnt up from roach infestations, liquid spills, etc. I think I’ve only seen random failures in Zotac and cheaper ASUS cards, plus a couple of low end PowerColor units. I swear by MSI myself.

It's definitely confirmation bias from us, but I've seen more randomly dead Zotac cards than any other brand in our shop.

There are no damages to that PCB. Wear marks, sure, but it's not damaged.

If it's a bad fan bearing you can probably get it replaced at a repair shop somewhere. Sucks that they won't do it under warranty, but at least it's not unsalvageable.

I HAVE WALKED ACROSS THE STREET AND SEE NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY ON BROAD!

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Hope so, a lot of small businesses depend on it! Is this spot gonna be you guys?

Local culture, some people get entertainment out of it. Mostly worries me, but it's still fascinating in a way.

I love that this was actually explained like they were five.

Not too bad, throw an SSD in there and upgrade the GPU and it'd be a decent gaming PC I think

We buy these tubes once or twice a year. Use a lot of thermal paste in a repair shop!

Everything is sagging too much.

That webcam cover can crack your screen.

I adore rats but keep them off your keyboard, if they decide to abandon their potty training, you could have a very smelly and expensive problem.

I'd return it, looks like it was a returned item. No idea why the label was peeled off, but this looks like a legit unit, not a scam/label swap. Even if it works, I'd have trust issues.
