Introduction

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.

What you need

Step 1

              LCD               
  • Open the laptop.
  • With the plastic spudger or your fingers, gently peel off the two thin adhesive layers at the left and right bottom edges of the screen.
  • Do not pry up the plastic bezel (monitor frame), just the adhesive layer.
  • If the adhesive layer isn’t coming off, use a metal spudger.

Open the laptop.
