Description: Your LCD Display is a vital part of your HP...

Steps:

1. Remove six 6.6 mm screws from the back case using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
2. Remove two 8.7 mm screws from the back case using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
3. Turn the computer over and open it as if you are going to use it.

4. Use the iFixit opening tool to get between the keyboard bezel and the outer edge of the laptop.
5. There are several clips on all sides that will need to be released. You'll hear and feel a pop as each clip is released.
6. Move the opening tool or spudger around the perimeter until you unclipped the keyboard on all sides.
7. This will require a little force. The only thing you don't want to do is push the spudger too deep under the keyboard. You could damage the internals if you do.

8. Carefully lift the top of the keyboard up to access the ribbon cables connecting it to the device.
9. Use the tip of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the small locking flap on each connector. Then, pull the connector out.
10. Remove the keyboard and set aside.

11. Using your iFixit opening tool, ease it in between the frame of the top case and lift up.
12. Slide your opening tool clockwise around the edge of the laptop, separating the front panel from the top case.
13. Lay the laptop flat.
14. Carefully lift the frame and bring the top of the top cover towards you.
15. There will be adhesive connecting the frame to the LCD display.
16. Once the frame is about 90 degrees from the base, pull the bottom of the frame towards you, separating the frame from the top case.

17. Use a Phillips #000 Phillips screwdriver to remove the five 2mm screws from the display panel bezel.

18. Lift and remove the LCD Display Bezel.
19. Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the three 2.5mm screws that secure each display panel bezel to the display enclosure.
20. Lift the tops of the left and right hinges towards you, separating them from the top case.

21. Lift the display out of its setting and turn it over.
22. When installing your new LCD screen, set the face of the screen on a soft or flat surface and not in the top case where it could be scratched.
23. Locate the LCD cable connection at the bottom of the display and peel back the tape connecting the cable.
24. Using your iFixit opening tool, put the corner of the tool into the small gap in the corner where the connection is made and pry it back towards you.
25. Do not pull the individual wires out of the termination. This will cause severe damage to your LCD Display connector and you will have to replace the cable.
