mark,
This is strange. You said you have an HP 2140 notebook and the service manual says it’s for HP 2133 Mini-Note PC and HP 2140 Mini-Note PCs.
I’m not sure why it’s different.

Thanks laptop tech but the service manual did not help. The computer used to demonstrate how to remove the bezel is noth the same therefore does not have the same issue i am having. I have replaced many screens in the past but this one just isn’t coming off. I was told by the support group that the bezel is not intended to be removed as it holds the microphone and webcam in place. The solution is to replace the display entirely which runs around 270 bucks.

mark,

Hi so like some other posts on here i am trying to remove the lcd screen from the hp 2140. I already dissasembled the machine in order to remove the display from the rest of the computer. My biggest problem is removing the bezel from the display.

Don’t call HP. Most likely you will not get any help, at least for free.
Download this service manual for HP 2133 Mini-Note:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01658655/c01658655.pdf
It’s a 4.32MB pdf file and might take some time to download.
Go to the chapter 11 (Recycling) page 112. You’ll find the LCD screen removal instructions in there.
I don’t know why HP posted these instructions in the recycling chapter.

Hi so like some other posts on here i am trying to remove the lcd screen from the hp 2140. I already dissasembled the machine in order to remove the display from the rest of the computer. My biggest problem is removing the bezel from the display. I already unscrewed the two top screws and the bottom has no screws. I am able to pop most of the bezel off except from the top of the display where the microphone and webcam is located. It appears to be glued or something because it does not come off easily. PPPlease help me with this. I think i am going to have to call hp also and see if one of there techs can help me out.

leo alba,

please teach me how to remove the plastic of the display. I just remove the two screw and the plastic snap from the speaker (bottom and both side but the top portion I cannot remove.

I didn't disassemble the display panel on this unit myself and cannot give you a good advice. It might be necessary to remove the display panel from the laptop before you can take it apart. The display removal instructions can be found in the official service manual on the page 72. Also, look for hidden screws in the top left and right corners of the display bezel. Can you find any? In most laptops screws are hidden under rubber/plastic seals.

Chris2.0,

I want to open a friend’s 2133 and see if the LCD screen is compatible with my Dell Mini 9’s - do you have any experience doing this?

I haven't replace the LCD screen on a HP 2133 PC yet, but I can give you some directions. 1. Remove the display panel as it explained the the maintenance and service guide for HP 2133 and HP 2140 laptops. It's on the page 72. 2. After the display assembly is removed you can remove the display bezel and access the LCD. The bezel is secured to the back cover by four screws hidden under screw seals in four corners of the display. Remove screws seals, remove four screws, separate the bezel from the cover with a piece of plastic. Now you can access the LCD.
