In this guide I explain how to remove LCD screen from a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop.
In order to remove the screen, you’ll have to separate the display panel from the laptop base.
To remove the display panel, follow steps 1-21 in this HP Pavilion dv5 disassembly guide.
OK, let’s assume the display panel remove and now it’s time to take it apart.
STEP 1.
You’ll find two screw covers on the bottom part of the display assembly.
Remove both screw covers with a sharp object.
After that remove two screws.
STEP 2.
Start separating the screen bezel with your fingers.There are a few hidden plastic latches securing the bezel to the screen cover.
Insert fingers between the bezel and screen and pry the bezel.
STEP 3.
Continue removing the screen bezel.
STEP 4.
The screen bezel has been removed.
STEP 5.
Disconnect the screen backlight cable from the right side of the inverter board.
The inverter screen mounted below the screen.
Remove four screws securing the LCD screen assembly to the back cover.
STEP 6.
Carefully separate the LCD screen from the cover and place it face down on the table.
Now you can disconnect the video cable from the connector on the back side of the screen (yellow arrow).
Finally, remove two screws from each side of the screen (green arrows).
These screws securing the LCD screen to the hinge mounting brackets.
Now you can replace the LCD screen with a new one if needed.
Here you can find a new replacement screen for HP Pavilion dv5 laptop.

Matt, I have discovered that the flush glass lcd screens are a giant debacle and a horrible idea. The bezel does not come off. It’s glued on the screen. I unfortunately had the bottom of the bezel break, along with the hinges, and have found this thing is not replaceable, which is ridiculous. HP = GARBAGE.

Firstly I wanted to tell you how great your site is, keep up the great work!
I stumbled upon your site while trying to find some more info on how to replace the LCD screen I cracked in my DV4 notebook, everything in your writeup looks to be exactly the same as for my notebook except for for one thing the Flush Glass bezel (which I believe also came on some dv5 notebooks as well). From what I could see the notebook you were working on had the standard display bezel correct? I began to take the Flush Glass Bezel off as I would any other bezel but found it to be much more firmly attached and wouldn’t simply snap off (nor easily peel back when gently prying under with a flat object and in fact began to crack in one area near the web cam). As such I wanted to see if you or anyone reading this might know what I’m doing wrong or be able to give me some pointers.
Thanks again,
Matt

Thank you for this guide. I think it’s better than instructions in the HP manual. Helped me a lot.
