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.

@ 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.

Anyone have the pinout for the 6pin connector fofr the display inverter? Got a damaged laptop and 4 wires are pulled from this connector, so I need to try to re-pin it or just solder the wires to the board.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
S

How do I order the entire LCD assembly with the wire and hinges? I would rather replace the whole top half. What part number would I ask for?
