  The storage ring RF system for the upgrade of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) adopted two 500 MHz superconducting cavities: west for the positron ring (BPR); east for the electron ring (BER). The excessive heating of the west window was observed in Nov.2013, and not cured thoroughly*. After two years operation, the window cracked suddenly on Nov.18th, 2015. The replacement of the window was subsequently implemented in tunnel. However, the quality factor (Q) of the cavity decayed a lot after the window replacement. 90 degrees Celsius N2 gas baking of the outer surface of the cavity was carried out in situ and the Q recovered in a short time. This paper will present the process of the window replacement and the cavity Q recovery in detail.
