Dropped laptop, need screen replacement

I dropped my laptop and while the computer hardware all still works, the LCD is broken. However, I do not know how to get the broken one out, let alone a new one in. Does anyone know how to replace the screen on the dv4-1430us?

Thanks

 

As I see it, the replacement screen comes in the form of the average 14,1" 1280x800 CCFL-backlit LCD panel with 30pin connector.

For how to replace, you can consult the service manual, page 84.

Thanks, successfully got it out, hopefully i did no loose any of the 41 screws that i counted.

i dont know much about laptop hardware, but since i am in this situation already, can i replace the screen with a matte option? and if so, can i choose any 14.1" screen or only specific ones?

 

I think you can. You just need to make sure that the connector on the replacement display is the same as the old one, as there are quite a few types floating around.

 

are all 14.1" screens the same physical size. I assume that the viewable area is the same, but is the metal casing standard too?

 

I searched alternative panel for one dv6000 series by first looking up original panel part number, I found few sites that listed many laptops that were using that panel model. Then I picked couple more popular laptop models from that list (in addition to dv6000 I chose one Acer and one Fujitsu-Siemens) and searched for alternative panels for all those models.

In the end I found one really cheap used panel from Acer and it worked perfectly. I didn't search for matte screen, just anything that was cheap and working Method is still valid, if you want to spend few good hours googling around.

 

KLF, what sites gave you the various options. every site I am looking at only breaks it down by manufacturer.

 

Some rather not well known sites, like eBay and Google.
