When i unplug the inverter board and then plug it back in the screen comes on bright for about 5 or 10 seconds then goes back off but you can always see it very very very dim in the back ground any suggestions would be helpful thanks and God bless.

In reply to Mark. @ Mark, Here's the service manual I was able to find for HP dv7-1020us laptop. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01918142 Display disassembly starts at the page 77. If the front bezel blued to the screen, I guess you can use a hair dryer to warm up the bezel and soften the adhesive.

I have an HP dv7-1020us, one of the ones where the top cover has to come off and the lcd is glue taped to the bezel. I’ve seen a few posts especially early on from others who have had the same situation, but no one posted any hints/links/etc as to HOW to separate the bezel from the lcd. I’ve done hundreds of lcd replacements but i’ve never run into this before. If anyone has any info/hints/links/etc. Thanks.

Wll I have the no camera problem still. It started I think when I had to change the hard drive because I was getting warning messages that my (2012) hard drive was going to die soon. So I bought a 1Tb hybrid and installed it and used the recovery from a USB stick to rebuild new drive. Of course that set my updates back to 2011 and also my drivers. After updating the drivers and Windows, I noticed I hadnt seen anything for the camera. So I tried Youcam and Skype; sure enough they didn’t detect a camera. Device manager didn’t show anything either. I tried: 1. Factory reset three times, 2. split the bezel and pushed around the plugs and wires, tried to reinstall the original hard drive and checked plugs down in the engine room. You guessed it, I still don’t have a camera. Nor do I have a warranty. I am getting a little old and keep forgetting that I swore never to by another HP product several times, but it still beats me that with all the problems this has caused HP has not come up with a fix.

Thank you for you guide. It gave me the confidence to disassemble my DV7-3057nr to troubleshoot the display issues I am having.

However, following your bezel removal procedure, and using great care, I managed to break two of the plastic tabs that secure it.

I was able to remove it the HP way without breaking any more tabs…. don’t know yet, but I’m guessing I’m going to have to buy a new bezel to have it attach securely when I replace it. Hope this helps others to not repeat my mistake.

In reply to Mark. @ Mark, Yes, the backlight lamp is part of the screen and mounted inside.

Hi,
Mine is 1464nr which has the inverter which I replaced with a new one and the display still doesn’t work. Is the backlight included with a new lcd screen or is it seperate?

In reply to Steven. @ Steven, Your laptop has LED screen which doesn't have an inverter board. Red lines and dots cannot be caused by a failed inverter anyway. Most likely it's one of the following: 1. Failed LCD screen. 2. Failed video cable. 3. Failed graphics card on the motherboard. First thing to try is testing the laptop with an external monitor. If external video appears to be fine, it's either failed LCD screen or video cable.
