HP Pavillion DV5 screen replacement

I have a DV5-1045tx and closed the lid with a pen on the keyboard (dumbass)
and the screen smashed.
I have ordered a new screen but have no idea on how to remove or disassemble the old lcd screen.

Has anyone done this or know how to do it?

any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Thanks

 

Below is the URL to the PDF version of the Maintenance and Service Manual for your system. The removal/replacement procedure for the display is on manual page 76.

You should look at the manual for preferences. I don't recommend to follow their instructions as it takes too much unneccessary steps to take out the LCD panel.

Look at these simpler procedures:

How much did the replacement Lcd cost btw?

select LCD panel. You can watch the other sections if you want to see some of the disassembly done more slowly. This site always comes in handy and I am suprised HP makes it publicly availible.

 

That's why people like you wind up paying people like me a lot of money to fix systems. Sure - don't follow their procedures. How in the world could the company who designed the system POSSIBLY KNOW how to repair it better than some flunkie on YouTube who got his training from DeVry and is arrogant enough to think he knows better than the engineers who built it??

There's a reason that procedures are specifically written, and just because they may be inconvenient or take longer than you think doesn't mean that they're not there for a good reason. Also, just because some idiot puts it up on the 'net doesn't mean they know better than the engineers who wrote the procedure. The problem with people like you is that if the person here who has a problem and stupidly follows BS advice like yours (and others) and screws his system even further, he's the one who pays for it, not you. That's not to imply that some procedure aren't redundant as hell - some are. But they're there for the user's protection as well as just to fix the system. Of course if you had any experience writing those kinds of procedures you'd know that.

Still - I like the money. Who would've thought all that HP training and experience would've come in handy so many years later?

Your tone sounds arrogant as it's in your signature. Yes, an idiot like me will not wind up paying people like you a penny to fix system and I don't need to tell people I'm a computer engineer, graduated from an US university.

 

Not too long ago I replaced a CPU in a dv9500 and if the engineers who built/design HP laptops didn’t purposely do so to make it harder for the end user to dismantle; one can only describe them as intellectually disable.

Some of the methods and fixtures use to assemble this dv9500 could of easily been refined by a class of year 12 school students, which is remarkable considering the technology it takes to manufacture a laptop.

To be honest some of the connectors as in Zif might have been design cheaply to reduce cost/weight, saying that one has to take into account that there couldn’t of been more than a hand full and to design/ manufacture better couldn’t have cost more than a few cents an item and only added a dollar to the build/ end price, plus a few grams at worst.

But by far the most retarded thing I came across was the way the power cable was connected to the motherboard, not only was it designed to be connected by plugging it in from underneath the motherboard the connector needed a disproportionate amount of force to unplug it. If I was designing such a plug first it would have come in from the side since there were no obstructions to hinder this and secondly it would of have a catchment as in a buckle on a backpack squeeze and pull out, not having to use a pair of bent long nosed pliers and pull downwards with great force, I still shake my head thinking this passed as best practice method of connection/connector.

I for one wouldn't be telling people I'm a HP engineer/ technician, because you're the guys that should be pointing this out, to me at best you're a pack of yes men with a huge rubber stamp!

 

Dude, you need to calm your A$$ down!! Putting people down like that is very rude. Yes, you learned it at a better college but get your head outta your a$$! geez Stop being so shallow!

 

Lets take things easy here, guys. We're all here to help people. While CyberVision could have put it differently, I do think it would be wise to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer, even if there are well-educated people who would suggest otherwise.
