Once I replaced the screen panel, I just lined up the video cable plug with the socket on the back of the panel, used the tape on the video cable to pull it into the video socket.

Pulling that last part off, the screen is completely unplugged. The part stuck with adhesive is in some kind of fabric but is still flexible. Once that was done, the cable was also stuck by some adhesive along the bottom of the screen. All I had to do was remove the video cable, pulling the piece of tape holding it in place in the opposite direction of the plug. It appears to have been routed behind the screen fastened to the laptop shell. Also, for my screens, there is no webcam plug to remove. This is an essential part of the setup for the screen to work, so I’m sure it’s located elsewhere, most likely in the base of the laptop.ģ) Both my original and replacement screens have the fideo cable plug and circuit board at the bottom of the screen, as opposed to the top as shown in the pavillion model photos in this article. I popped two small clips off across the top of the bezel, but with it now put back together, I don’t notice any slack (they were several clips apart)Ģ) There was no screen inverter present in the base of the hinge under the bezel to unplug and remove. To assist those with my model laptop, I want to just illustrate the few differences I noticed during the repair.ġ) I used an old credit card to slide around the bezel and pull it off… Worked pretty well. But it was almost identical to the photos you posted. (Yes, I will donate – this saved me a bunch of repair bucks!) I was in a bit of a hurry to get this done since I started late in the evening, so I didn’t get a chance to take photos of the steps. This is the only guide I could find that could help me do the job. I just used this guide to replace the lcd screen in my Pavillion dv7 3165dx. If you have LED LCD screen in your laptop, you’ll have to skip steps 6 and 7. This screen has a backlight lamp inside which requires the inverter board (shown in steps 6 and 7).Ģ.

Remove four screws securing the right hinge bracket. Now you can access the video cable connector on the back. Separate the LCD from the cover and disconnect one cable from the web camera module. Remove eight screws securing the LCD assembly to the display cover. Lift up the inverter board and disconnect cables on both ends. There are no screws securing it to the cover. The inverter board is mounted on the lower part of the display cover. When removed on the top, move to the lower part. Insert the guitar pick between the bezel and cover and slowly move along display side. You can use a guitar pick as a case cracker. Start separating the bezel from the display cover on the top. Using same technique remove the right screw cover. Using a sharp object remove the left screw cover. They are located in the lower left and right corners and hidden under two rubber covers. There are two screws securing the LCD bezel to the display cover.
