Great instructions. I need to replace the video cable in my dv6-3120us(white background turned aqua with several verticle lines). In steps 18-19 you show disconnecting one end. How do I get to and disconnect the other end attached to the screen, I assume?

Thank you once again.
I used your excellent, clear instructions 6 months ago on my own DV6, and again today on my wife’s machine.

Perfect strip/assembly guide. Never touched a laptop before but have just used this to replace a heatsink fan this morning – took 2hrs in total and worked first time.
Many thanks

Terrific disassembly guide. Thanks for putting in the effort. I am in the process of replacing the optical drive with a new one. My old CD/DVD-burner/Blu-Ray Reader drive no longer detects when a disc is inserted. So I bought an upgrade to a Blu-Ray Burner, after carefully reviewing the manual for my DV6T-3000 so that I got a drive that matched an option that was one of the standard configurations. My problem is that the new drive has a very slim bezel, and the old drive has a much thicker bezel that matches the curvature of the case. I know that I should be able to somehow snap the old one off and move it to the new drive, but I just don’t see the appropriate place to “release” the bezel from the sliding tray. I don’t see any screws holding it, so it is probably just one or more plastic clips, but I don’t want to break the bezel by forcing it the wrong way. Can you help me there?

Thanks a lot for providing such a thorough and complete pictorial guide to laptop self servicing. I have a similar problem as shared by Ida Sherrod on 6th March’15, with left hinge attached to the screen of my HP Pavilion DV6-3054 TX laptop. Please tell us how to replace/repair the hinge and whether should both the hinges be replaced together. I would also like to know how to fix/replace the rubber bumpers attached to the screen bezel of my laptop model.
Thank you again for the excellent tutorials.
Regards,
Arindam.

My screen had real bad color and clarity problem. looked like when a television wasn’t tuned in and fuzzy. I plugged an external screen and it was fine. I went through the pictures and located where the screen connector was and pressed down hard over the “W” key and the screen cleared up immediately. Good luck to all with my gratitude fro not having to go through the procedure described.

Loved this. My question is about the hinge attached to the screen. Where the optical cable runs inside. Is there a way to loosen the hinge? When opening my laptop it is very hard to do. So much that the plastic piece has broke where the screw goes. Now when I open it the hinge turns with the screen and it’s pushing up on the keypad.
