Guide to Replacing the Touch Screen on an HP Envy x360 Laptop

Hello everyone, Simon here! I recently received a request through YouTube comments asking for a tutorial on how to replace the touch screen on an HP Envy x360 laptop. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to successfully replace your laptop screen.

Understanding the HP Envy x360

The HP Envy x360 is a versatile laptop with a foldable screen that rotates 360 degrees. For models like the 15-amp dr0011dx, I recommend replacing the full screen assembly rather than just the glass, to avoid issues like ghost touching.

Required Tools

• Phillips screwdriver
• Plastic prying tool (optional)

Disassembly Process

1. Identify the Model: Confirm your laptop’s model number (e.g., HP Envy X360 15-amp dr0011dx).
2. Remove Rubber Stoppers: Some models may have rubber stoppers covering the screws on the back. If present, gently remove them using a prying tool.
3. Unscrew the Back Cover: Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove all screws securing the back cover. Then, carefully pry off the cover to expose the internal components.
4. Disconnect the Battery: Locate the battery and remove its screws. Gently lift the battery to disconnect it from the motherboard. This step is crucial for safety and to prevent any electrical damage during the screen replacement.
5. M.2 Drive: If you need to recover data or upgrade your storage, locate the M.2 drive.
6. Remove Screen Hinges: Unscrew the hinges on both sides of the screen. This may require flipping the laptop to access all screws. Be mindful of the flex cables connected to the screen.
7. Disconnect Cables: Carefully disconnect the webcam, microphone, and Wi-Fi antenna cables. These will usually have easy-to-release clippers.
8. Detach the Screen: Gently slide the screen away from the keyboard base at a 90-degree angle. Ensure all cables are disconnected before completely removing the screen.

Replacing the Screen

• Obtain a Full Assembly Screen: I strongly recommend purchasing a complete screen assembly for the HP Envy x360. This ensures compatibility and functionality, especially for the touch screen feature.
• Align and Connect New Screen: Carefully align the new screen assembly with the keyboard base. Reconnect all cables (Wi-Fi, webcam, microphone) and secure the screen to the hinges.
• Reassemble the Laptop: Follow the disassembly steps in reverse. Reconnect the battery, ensure all cables are properly seated, and screw the back cover back into place.

Final Steps

Once the screen is replaced and everything is reassembled, power on your laptop to test the new screen. Check for any display issues or non-responsive areas on the touch screen.

Conclusion

Replacing the touch screen on an HP Envy x360 is a manageable task with the right tools and careful handling. Always ensure you’re working in a static-free environment and take your time with each step.
