If your HP Pavilion 17-g has a broken screen, will not charge, runs hot or will not start, we can diagnose and repair it at our Bermondsey workshop. The HP Pavilion 17-g is a 2015 laptop with a 17.3-inch screen. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

Repairs we carry out on the HP Pavilion 17-g
Screen replacement
A broken 17.3-inch screen is replaced with a panel of the same resolution and finish. We check the display cable while the lid is open.
Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
This model does not meet Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements, and Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025. We can advise on the realistic options, including a lightweight Linux or ChromeOS Flex installation.
Battery replacement
Most configurations have a clip-in battery that can be swapped in seconds. We also test the charging circuit, because an old battery is not always the only fault. On a 2015 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.

Charging port and power repair
The round charging socket wears and works loose. On most configurations it is a separate part on a short cable and is replaced without motherboard work.
SSD and storage upgrade
The HP Pavilion 17-g uses a 2.5-inch SATA drive. Replacing a hard drive with an SSD is the biggest speed improvement available for a machine of this age.

Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the HP Pavilion 17-g have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the HP Pavilion 17-g, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- HP product names such as 15-eg or 14-dv cover many sub-models, so we confirm parts against the full product number on the base.
- Hinge failure is the Pavilion repair we see most. The hinge stiffens, then pulls its mounts out of the lid or base.
- Older configurations with a mechanical hard drive are transformed by an SSD.
Data recovery from the HP Pavilion 17-g
The HP Pavilion 17-g has a 2.5-inch drive that we remove and image on our own equipment. If the drive is clicking or was dropped, stop powering it on: each attempt can do more damage.

Where the HP Pavilion 17-g sits in the range
Its nearest relatives in the HP Pavilion range are the older HP Pavilion 17-f (2014) and the newer HP Pavilion 17-ab (2017). Storage differs too: 2.5-inch SATA drive on the HP Pavilion 17-g, M.2 SSD, replaceable on the HP Pavilion 17-ab.
Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the HP Pavilion 17-g be upgraded?
The 2.5-inch drive can be replaced with an SSD. Memory is in slots on most configurations and can be increased.
My HP Pavilion 17-g will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
How much does a HP Pavilion 17-g screen replacement cost?
Price confirmed before work starts. The exact figure depends on the part your machine needs, and we confirm it before any work starts.
Is a 2015 HP Pavilion 17-g still worth repairing?
It depends on the fault. A battery, SSD or charging socket is usually worth doing. A major board repair on an older machine may cost more than the machine is worth, and if that is the case we will say so.
