HP Laptop Screen Replacement Guide by Simon
- Introduction:
- Simon presents an issue with an HP laptop’s screen that’s pixelated and flickering, turning white and needing replacement.
- Initial Checks:
- Turn on the computer and confirm the display issue.
- Power off the laptop by holding the power button.
- Removing the Bezel:
- Use a metal prying tool to gently pry open the bezel around the screen.
- Note the adhesive tape holding the bezel and screen together. Carefully cut or separate this adhesive as you remove the bezel.
- Exposing the LCD Screen:
- Carefully remove the bezel, noting any additional adhesive tape holding it down.
- Simon notes an unusual placement of a tape typically found in the gap of the bezel, which was not present in this model.
- Removing the Old Screen:
- Identify any screws holding the screen in place (if any) and remove them.
- Pull the adhesive tapes from each side of the screen.
- Carefully tilt the screen towards you.
- Use a plastic tool or fingernail to flip the clip that holds the connector cable. Slide out the cable. Do not use metal tools as it may short the motherboard.
- Installing the New Screen:
- Check the model number of the old screen (e.g., B156XTK02.0) and order a replacement. Simon offers a link in the description.
- Slide the cable of the new screen into the connector and lock it in place.
- Place double-sided adhesive tape on the top of the new screen where the previous adhesive was found. Ensure part of the tape is accessible for any future replacements.
- Place the screen back in position, pressing it down to adhere.
- Re-attaching the Bezel:
- Begin by attaching the bottom part of the bezel first, ensuring alignment with the webcam.
- Use a plastic tool if needed to press it securely in place.
- Remove any protective film from the new screen.
- Confirm alignment, especially around the webcam, and press to click the bezel back into position.
- Testing:
- Turn on the computer and ensure the new screen displays correctly.
- Conclusion:
- Simon advises viewers to check the description for links to purchase the replacement screen. He urges likes and shares for his video.
