HP Chromebook 11 G4 LCD Replacement

Einleitung

Cracked, broken, and scratched LCD screens can make using your Chromebook difficult. Such damage to the LCD can be caused by accidental drops or impacts which are common in portable devices such as Chromebooks.

Due to the commonality of these issues, it is useful to know how to replace just the screen as opposed to replacing the entire device. This guide will instruct the user on how to replace just the LCD screen within their HP Chromebook 11 G4.

The screws that keep the plastic bezel attached to the Chromebook can be difficult to remove at times as they are very small and are positioned at an odd angle. Be careful to not strip the screws as it will make future screen replacements harder.

If your screen is severely cracked with shattered glass, use extra caution when taking the damaged display out of the device as to not cut yourself on the sharp glass.
