i have a hp dv2000 laptop that had a cracked screen. Well, I replaced the screen and followed step-by step directions on how to disemble and reasemble the screen. However, when I turn the computer on the screen lights up but a picture does not show up.

Can you please help me. Is it a possibility that the video cord is not connecting right?

Wow! Saved me lots of money.

I dropped my HP Pavillion dv2000 on the floor and cracked the LCD. The computer was fine but just the screen was busted. Got on eBay. Bought a screen for $80. Got it. Followed your tutorial to from A to Z and ..Bam.. Everything works perfect.

The screen name on eBay that I bought it from was sunvalleyus. They shipped me a new screen with no dead pixels and a matte finish which was better than the clear glass finish which was factory and put a bad glare on the screen. This screen is way better than factory.

Thanks so much again for your site and posting!

hello laptop tech
my girlfriend has one dv2000, i replace small parts ,and i did dust cleaning on this machine.
but now i have a little bit bigger problem now: she dropped this machine almost a year ago like 3-4 feet high, and still works until now. couple of time i can turn on the laptop, but not anymore. now only turn on the main machine( lights on ,i hear start working the hdd, and cd- rom) but the screen not turn on.
what is your suggestion, about this problem?
i feel some wires are not connected well after that drop, or maybe the inverter has some damage
please help me whit your experience, what i should try.
thank you

thank you SO much for this article! HP has none on their websites, unless I’m looking in the wrong places for the past two hours! and the pictures are extremely helpful.

I have a question though. antistatic strips? I’ve never heard of them before. where can I get such items?

circleallthatapply,

Would this be the same process I would have to follow to tighten the hinges on the screen of my dv2000? It’s a bit loose after moderate use and it drives me nuts.

Yea, if you want to tighten screws on hinges inside the display panel.
Another place would be under the power button board cover. As an example you can use this guide for a Pavilion dv6000:

Take a look at the step 13. There are more screws under the bezel.

I found your instructions to be sufficient to fix my dv2000. I got a screen on ebay for 80 dollars (free shipping) from screenaid. It looks greeat, not a single pixel missing.

I had trouble putting the frame back on…
it turned out that the metal screen brace had to go BEHIND the black hinge plate…
duh… just like in the picture of step 2 and 4

I’m definitely making a donation. You rock
