In this guide I explain how to remove and replace a damaged LCD screen in a HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook. This guide should work for all models in Pavilion dv2000 line.
Before you start, please turn off the laptop, unplug the power adapter and remove the battery.
STEP 1.
The LCD screen is mounted between the display cover and bezel. The screen bezel is secured to the display cover by six screws hidden under six screw seals. I circled these screw seals.
Remove all seals with a sharp object and after that remove all screws found under the seals.
STEP 2.
Start separating the screen bezel from the display cover on one of the top corners.
Continue separating the screen bezel.
Remove the screen bezel.
STEP 3.
The inverter board works as a power supply for the backlight lamp hidden inside the LCD screen. In most notebooks the inverter board is mounted below the LCD screen. In my guide I will not be removing the inverter board and because of that I will unplug only one cable from the right side.
STEP 4.
Remove four screws securing the display hinges to the cover.
STEP 5.
Carefully separate the display assembly from the cover and place the LCD face down on the keyboard.
Now you can access the LCD cable (video cable) connector. The LCD cable connects the screen to the the motherboard.
STEP 6.
Unplug the LCD cable from the screen.
STEP 7.
Remove the LCD screen assembly from the notebook. As you can see, the screen still has two mounting brackets attached to the left and right sides.
STEP 8.
In order to remove the mounting bracket, simply remove three screws. Transfer the bracket to the new screen.
Are you looking for a new screen for your HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook? You can find it here for less than $70.

LCD screen of my HP Pavillion dv2000 was broken and replaced once, but since then I see a spot like finger smeared.on the screen. I tried to clean it, but noticed that it was inside the screen. Can I disassemble the screen and clean the smeared spot? I will appreciate if you will email me the answer.

@ Mphubrn,
It’s impossible to tell what is damaged without taking the whole laptop apart.
In a case of liquid spill I always disassemble the laptop for further investigation.
If this is motherboard related failure the laptop not worth fixing.

I had a water damage event at home resulting in my Hp pavillion dv 2000 getting dripped on!
The pc itself appears to be working fine but the screen attempts to light up but unsucessfully.
I did hear a bit of sizzling when I arrived home that nite nd of course unplugged,removed the battery etc. Is it worth it to replace the parts..if so any suggestions which ones?

hi, i have a HP pavilion DV2000 and my hinge is broken. so i was wondering if you can show a step by step guide on how to dis- and re-assemble the hinge thats connected to the frame bracket. i removed my broken hinge already but i can’t seem to remember on how to place the hinge to enable the opening, closing and holding the laptop screen together.

@ BillyBob,
I’m not sure what you are asking about.
Maybe you’ll be able to point me to the right direction by looking at this dv6000 display disassembly guide?

The display back cover has aluminum foil inside which has tabs for securing cables and probably works as a shielding but it doesn’t have any circuit on it.

Hello all, I have a pavilion dv6500nr v.1.
I opened the lcd case for the backlight is out and we were changing screens when we noticed both
connections are torn. confirmed by dual moitors and the flashlight test.
When I opened it it has torn connections from the metal foil on the underside at the hinge
locations.
1, what is this foil circuit ?
2, is the foil available or is it a new lid/cover ?
Thanks alot man you guys are great.

@ Shaswati,
Are you replacing it yourself or taking to the repair shop?
Here’s how to research the screen price:
1. Download the maintenance and manual guide for HP ProBook 6460b laptop. The manual also has disassembly instructions.
2. On the page 36 you’ll find list of LCD screens used in this model. Find out which one you have installed.
3. Search a new screen on the internet using HP part number.
