Title: How to Replace the Screen on an HP Pavilion x360

Introduction: Hello everyone, Simon here. Today, I’m going to walk you through the process of replacing the screen on an HP Pavilion x360. This guide is particularly useful if you have a cracked screen but the LCD display is still functional.

Understanding the Replacement Options: For the HP Pavilion x360, replacing just the glass isn’t an option, as the glass and LCD are adhesively bonded. You have two choices:

1. Buy the glass and LCD as a single piece and replace them while retaining the original top cover and hinges.
2. Opt for a full assembly that includes the top cover, glass, LCD, and hinges. I recommend this second option as it tends to prevent future problems.

Model Identification: The model I’m working with is the HP x360 M Convertible, specifically the 14m-dy0033dx.

Disassembly Steps:

1. Removing the Plastic Cover:
   • Start by removing the plastic covers at the top and bottom to expose the screws hidden underneath.
2. Removing Screws:
   • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove five screws from the back cover.
3. Opening the Back Cover:
   • A metal prying tool can be helpful to create an opening, but a plastic tool is recommended to avoid scratches.
4. Disconnecting the Battery:
   • Before proceeding, disconnect the battery by pulling the connector to the right, using a plastic prying tool for support.
5. Disconnecting Cables:
   • Carefully lift up and disconnect the cables for the screen and other components like the Wi-Fi antenna.
6. Removing Additional Components:
   • Continue removing screws and brackets as needed, ensuring safe disassembly of the internal components.
7. Removing the Full Screen Assembly:
   • Open the hinge slightly and slide out the keyboard and other bottom components to remove the entire screen assembly.

Reassembly with the New Screen:

1. Assuming the New Screen Assembly:
   • If you have the new screen assembly, reverse the disassembly process. Start by attaching the hinges and reconnecting all cables.
2. Reinstalling the Battery and Back Cover:
   • Reconnect the battery and carefully align the back cover, pressing it back into place.
3. Finishing Touches:
   • Replace all screws and the rubber stoppers to finalize the assembly.

Conclusion: Replacing the screen on an HP Pavilion x360 is a straightforward process, but it requires patience and the right tools. Remember to disconnect the battery before starting and handle all components with care. For any questions, or to find the necessary parts and tools, check the links in the description below.
