    I recently bought a new compatible screen(LTN184HT01-A01) but now I am stuck on the Page 70 of Service Manual.

    The page 70(See upright page) states that the display enclosure bottom page must be removed, hence no more progress on this page as the excessive force is needed to remove this component.

    Is there any possible solution to remove this component?

    Thank you

    err what step are you stuck at?
    I see no "page 70" and there are only 2 pages anyway...

    I'm sure I could figure this out in a few seconds if I was there so hopefully I can help you.

    The original(Authentic) "PDF" link comes from


    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01910942.pdf

    And if you are interested in this document, turn to page 70.

    Thank you

    Those OEMs made many overcomplicated consumer laptops with layers of screen covers and hinge covers. For example, DV8t's display assembly is more complex than its mainboard assembly.(Just sort out the preferences of screw types)

    yeah you pretty much have to rip it apart. downloading the PDF now.
    Hinge covers need unscrewing from the bottom case. Bezels (lcd trim) need unscrewing of screws under little rubber covers and then you have to snap/pry it out.

    I see what you mean, step F. Thats really strange. You should do it from the front instead and try to pry of the bezel from the top. maybe some pictures would help.

    I see what you mean, step F. Thats really strange. You should do it from the front instead and try to pry of the bezel from the top. maybe some pictures would help.-----> I have found several screw fixings inside the display enclosure. So, it almost impossible to pry it out without damage of some screw fixings.


    Now I am looking for assistance from laptop repair services.

    Many Thanks.
