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.

Rick,
Did you have the same problem before?
Sounds like your new screen is defective.

Hi, I replaced the screen per your instructions but when I turned it on, there was a blue line on the left side, that went away when I powered down and redid everything to make sure connections were good. On the right though there is a violet line that won’t go away. This is a replacement screen. What will cause this line to remain? Thanks

This is great site! I need an advice: I have 5 year old laptop HP pavilion 2000ze and recently noticed that display cover hinges are loose. Is there any way to tighten up the hinges to eliminate wobbling of the display or do I have to replace them?

very helpful post, just finished removing my damaged lcd. Do i have to keep the silver sticker on the back side of the old lcd to put it back on the new lcd?

Billy,
I would say at least $100 at a professional repair shop but it depends on where you take it.
