I need to replace the LCD screen on my HP Pavilion dv5-1159, but I can't seem to find any sort of tutorial.

I don't see any screws in the lcd bezel. Is that glue?! I need a guide or some help. Thanks to all in advance!

Service Manual
Go down to, and click on -
HP Pavilion dv5 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide

Ignore if you are aware;
This is a PDF file. The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
After you click on the above file name it may take up to 30 seconds, before the first page comes up.

The file is downloading in the background, and will not show until fully downloaded.

Adobe Reader page number box is at the Top, to the right of the Down Arrow.
When I refer to a page it is for this page number box.

Go to Pages 27 through 29.
See what you are dealing with.

Now go to Page 76 - Display Assembly

Two synthetic rubber, or plastic; Screw Covers at the Bottom of the Display Bezel.
One on either side of the Hinge Cover.

I use a computer pick, and lift them off. Start at the base where the Screw Cover meets the Display Bezel.
The Screw Covers are held in place by a type of rubber cement.

When removed, I LIGHTLY stick them to the Display Bezel for safekeeping.
If you use care you should be able to reuse them.
Doesn't stick anymore? Apply a TINY dab of rubber cement with a toothpick.

(Yes. They like to stick to the tool, your fingers, and passing jets(?)

Remove the two Philips head screws.
No.1 Philips screwdriver, or equivalent Jewelers screwdriver.

Put your mouse cursor in the middle of the photo, and use the
Zoom In feature. See the screw hole on either side of the Hinge Cover, at the Bottom?

The bezel is mad of space-age plastic. Pretty tough stuff.
If course, there are those of us who can destroy a steel ball bearing in a sandbox, with a rubber mallet.

Use care when removing.

The Display Bezel Flexes.
It is flexed to remove.
The exterior perimeter, of the inside edges of the Display Bezel has TABS.
These snap into matching LATCHES on the Display Cover.
(Top cover when laptop is closed)

Since you are going to replace the LCD screen, I won't advise to protect it.
Use your fingertips, and come to the INSIDE edge of the Right side, of the bezel.
Somewhere close to the middle/right.

Ease the inside edge of the bezel up, until you can slide a fingertip under.
Can't get in? Move over. You are at a Tab/Latch.
Hold that spot with one hand. Use the fingertips of the other hand on the bezel. Come over a little bit, and ease under the bezel.

The Tabs/Latches should start popping loose.
Snap! Snap! Sounds like you're breaking something.
Work down along the Right side, head towards the Top, then Left side.

Yes. The difference between being a tech, and a squirrel with a tree branch in your hand.

If this solution helps put some VERY baseball cards in a jar, bury them by the old Oak tree in the back. Some old white haired biker will be by to get 'em.

    Edit: "The bezel is mad of space-age plastic" No it's true. I thought I would warn you. Bezel's go mad because they're made of space-age plastic. Ummmmm, no. The bezel is MADE of space-age plastic

SOURCE: No Display

First make sure everything else is getting power and operating okay, and that it is only the LCD display that is non-functional.

If you get no video signal or power at all, even at boot time, you probably have a dislodged ribbon cabling or power connection. Usually when LCD monitors go bad they show colour banding or all white, etc., but usually continue getting power.

As a last resort, try disassembling the lower case (with the power disconnected and the battery out of course) to expose the LCD monitor mounts, and then following the wiring from the screen into the laptop and check for anything loose or disconnected. You could also have a loose ribbon cable going into the LCD array, which will require disassembling the LCD cowling and mounts.

If you are handy and comfortable with electrics and find nothing loose, put the battery in and test the power line going to the LCD backlight, which should be getting above 7V (I think). Below that and you either have a bad video controller or bad wiring/solder joints somewhere. Otherwise, if the unit has been dropped or had a hard life generally, it could also be the connections between the LCD connector bus on the monitor array and the array itself. As a last resort, try unplugging and reconnecting all ribbon and connector cables, cleaning the exposed brass coloured runners lightly with rubbing acohol or even a pencil eraser.

Good luck...

Dear lotaman, I have searched the world to find an exact guide for your monitor but it is impossible. Neveretheless I have found the following guides and they should be more than enough to complete the task in hand anytime.

TIP: The ZV5000 looks and is very similar to the HP DV1000 screen so I would start from there. All guides are very nicely explained.

Please remember to remove the battery before you do any work with the laptop.

SOURCE: HP Pavilion dv9500 lcd screen issues. Turns pink after warms up.

Defective CCFL backlight may has the following symptom:

  • Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
  • Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
  • Picture flickering with dim display.
  • Picture flickering on and off.
All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp)
has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp


Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.
Check out www.lcdparts.net for parts, repair service and DIY info.

SOURCE: Replacing lcd screen on HP dv4-1120us laptop

Here is one place I found thru google that sells your lcd for your laptop:
http://base.google.com/base/a/1453857/D14569028068669548660


Price is about $89.00 before any S/H charges. I'm sure if you do some research you may find them cheaper.


When it comes to replacing the lcd on these laptops most of the time its done the same way. Unscrew the screws on the front lcd bezel and then remove the bezel so it will expose the lcd with a hinge on each side.

Remove the screws on the left hinge and also remove the screws on the right hinge.

At this point the screen will be loose. Disconnect the power connector from the bottom of the lcd that goes to the little rectangular inverter board.

There will also be a cable on the back of the lcd screen that needs to come out as well. Be gentle with the cable cause its sensitive.

At this point you can remove the bad lcd and then get ready to put the new lcd into place.

Go ahead and connect the lcd cable to the back of the lcd, don't worry it is slotted so it can only go in one way and it will kind of snap into place. Then go ahead and align the screen with the left and right hinges so you can put the screws back on so it keeps the screen in place.

Then go ahead and connect the power connector to the rectangular inverter as well. Now that you have the screen hooked up. Turn on the laptop and if you get video then you know the screen is good, turn the laptop back off and then go ahead and put the lcd front bezel back on and put the screws back into place and you should be good to go. I know this was lengthy but hope this information helps.

I have a Hewlett Packard Dv5 laptop and the screen rolls intermittently. It is sensitive to the angle of the laptop screen

Seems that the LCD screen cable (the cable connecting the LCD screen to the inverter board) is either loose or defective. You will need to disassemble the laptop's LCD panel & check for either possibilities.

I have a hP pavillion dv2620us. I get an intermittent black screen whenever I use the laptop. During normal use, the laptop screen just goes dark/black. There is still power to the laptop and you can sort...

1. Test using an external monitor. If it works, then either the screen bulb or the inverter board might be defective.
2. Test the inverter board. Easiest way to do it if you have a good screen with a good bulb. Connect the good screen to the inverter board & test it. If it lights up, then the inverter board is good. If it did not, then the inverter board is bad & needs to be replaced.
3. If the inverter board is good, then we are left with the possibility that the screen bulb is bad. To fix this, we will need to replace the LCD screen.
