HP Chromebook x360 Screen Replacement Guide

Are you dealing with a cracked screen on your HP Chromebook x360 (model 14A)? Don’t worry; this guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of replacing the screen yourself.

Identifying the Problem

The HP Chromebook x360’s LCD screen can easily crack under pressure or impact. Before replacing the screen, ensure the rest of the laptop is functional. You can connect it to an external monitor via a USB-C to VGA connector to check if other components are working correctly.

Tools You’ll Need:

• Metal prying tool
• Replacement LCD screen (model NT140WHM-T00)
• Double-sided adhesive tape (preferably red adhesive tape)

Step-by-Step Replacement Process:

1. Bezel Removal: Start by gently prying off the bezel using a metal prying tool. The bezel is attached with double-sided adhesive tape, so proceed with care to avoid damaging any cables.
2. Screen Removal: Once the bezel is off, you’ll see that the screen is held in place with double-sided tape. Carefully remove this tape from both sides to free the screen.
3. Disconnecting the Screen: Gently flip the screen towards the keyboard. You’ll find a connector secured with a clip. Carefully open the clip and slide the connector out to disconnect the screen.
4. Screen Replacement: For the new screen, prepare it by attaching double-sided tape along its sides. Make sure to leave a small overhang of the tape for easy removal in the future. Connect the new screen using the reversed process of disconnection.
5. Reattaching the Bezel: Once the new screen is securely connected and tested, reattach the bezel by pressing it firmly back into place, ensuring the adhesive tape holds it securely.

Conclusion:

Replacing the screen on your HP Chromebook x360 is a straightforward process that can save you time and money. With the right tools and careful handling, you can have your Chromebook looking as good as new.
