Use this guide to replace a display with broken glass or malfunctioning pixels on your HP G71t-400 laptop.
The LCD display on your laptop is an output device consisting of multiple layers. In the case of a shattered or cracked screen, the layer of glass at the front of the display is at fault. Alternatively, in the case of malfunctioning pixels, other layers such as the backlight may be at fault. In any case, the entire display will have to be removed and replaced. This guide covers how to remove the entire LCD display to make way for a new one.
Steps in this guide can be reversed for installation of a replacement screen.
Use this guide as a safety reference if the screen is shattered to ensure that you do not injure yourself. Make sure that before you begin Step 1, the laptop is powered off and all power sources are disconnected from the system.
