    This HP Pavilion zv5220us recently took a tumble and ended up with a badly-cracked screen, as shown here:

    I'm thinking of purchasing a replacement screen from eBay and installing it myself. Here's the one I'm looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42186&item=6776214120&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

    What I'm wondering is how to disassemble the screen. The four red circles on the picture are screws that I unscrewed. The two green circles are rubber bumpers that don't seem to have any screw behind them. After unscrewing the four screws, nothing really "gave" in terms of the front of the bezel or the lid, and I didn't want to try to pry anything off in fear of breaking it.

    Does anyone know how to disassemble this? Are there only four screws? I think I'm on the right track; I'm just not exactly sure how to do this.

    Thanks so much for any help anybody can provide! [ :)] I look forward to fixing this... and doing a good job of protecting the computer next time around. [ :(!]

    I'm afraid I have no advice for you, but do wish you the best of luck in successfully installing the new screen.

    The service guide might have instructions?
