I have the same exact laptop. The colors are inverted but when I connect my tv to it via HDMI, the colors are perfectly fine so the video card is good I assume. What could it be?
HI, what is the thin white wire near the right hand side speaker? near the cross sign that seems to go all the way through, mine is sticking out don't where it is supposed to be plugged in?
i have a flickering green/purple line at the bottom of my screen, it started as a couple of pixels and is slowly getting bigger over time, another line has occasionally started to appear at the top, any advice as to the problem.
On my laptop the left hinge was cracked right by the positive and negative cords, so now the screen has a reddish hue unless in the right position. Should I buy a whole new screen or does it sound like wiring problem because i can easily solder new connections. Also if I do have to replace the screen where could i buy one? I have searched newegg and the web but no luck.
I just wanted to thank you for posting this video. While I sometimes had some trouble seeing what you were doing with some of the connections behind your hands, this was very helpful to me, as I had a customer who wanted her damaged screen replaced. Three hours later (after taking more then a few glances at the video), and it's working great! Thanks again! :D
so for my laptop which is this one, the screen is negative colors and theres a hige crack down the middle would changing the screen help both of those
My screen jumps about 3 times rapidly every 3 seconds. It generally is fine after resting all night for at least 5-10 minutes then it starts jumping. Do I need to replace the entire screen? (and i cannot increase the refresh rate, it remains at 60)
i need help, i'm trying to fix the monitor for my friend, the screen shows nothing but horizontal lines, that change color. i got to the login screen and i could make out the little icon, but it was all stretched in between the lines. i was thinking that some of the cables might be bad. so i had to disassemble it and then put it back together. and after i was done, it was exactly the same. should i get a new set of cables? and if so where can i get the same specific ones?
@mikkobc88 Many times the screw can break off from the LCD top case cover. This can be an expensive repair unless you can find good used parts. I do not know if that is the case with your laptop without looking at it 1st.
Thanks for the great how to vid. I changed my dv4 laptop screen and everything seemed to go okay, but my screen is dark. I can see a faint image but its pretty much dark. I am thinking there is some kind of switch that makes the laptop think the screen is closed even when its opened. Image is fine on a tv screen via HDMI cord. Thoughts, advice??
@FastVideoTech Your advice about checking the connection between the screen and inverter board saved me from giving up on my laptop or worse. The connector you removed at 2:32 was partially out on my machine. I reseated it and It came on like nothing had ever been wrong. Thank you so much!!
My only recommendation to anyone changing their display is to put some of the foil over the 'HP' led on the outside of their case and the display as I can see the led though the LCD. Not a huge deal and I'm not about to rip it all back apart to put something between them but just a suggestion to anyone in the future.
Thanks again, saved me a ton of money as I had a working display in an old acer aspire 5570 that coincidentally had a compatable display
hi im not sure what to do with mines. the backlight fuctions normally but no faint image. the weird thing is sometimes if i open the screen at a 45 degree angle and power on it works and no problems with movement after that until i power off on then its blank again. if it was loose cable i should be getting flickering when moving screen. this is weird don't know what to replace
@moppoop I would recommend checking all the connections and reseating them so that you know for sure it is not a loose connection. It may not be loose but may be oxidized. Not all the time is a connection just loose. Always unplug then plug back in to know for sure. I would be happy to check the connections for you at my shop.
@TooSwag4TV In this video I replace the LCD screen. The part number would be located on the back of the screen. Some HP DV4 laptops have LED and some LCD screens. You would want to find your exact part number before ordering a screen to be sure you are getting the right screen.
@FastVideoTech thank you so much man! I must say, i really appreciate you because i just spent 2 hr on the phone with Hp and because my laptop is out of warranty the passed me around like i had the cooties! its a shame man such a a shame. I paid $700 for this Dv4 series laptop and this is how they treat their customers? I guess you showed them!! Thanks again man!!
@TooSwag4TV No prob! I would be happy to replace the screen for you if that is necessary and do a free estimate at my shop, you just pay return shipping. Good luck!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I love how easy you made taking those 2 little bastard screw covers off look. I about broke the lcd making a little profit turn into a huge loss. I hate hp, people please stop buying them.
Hi, I just repaired and modified the heatsink on my DV4T-1400, after having a corrupted video issue which i also fixed.. Now, it turns on correctly and eveything, but about every 5 seconds about 2MM of green comes up on the bottom of my monitor, that spans the whole distance. Could the cause of this be the corrupted video issue, or is it a loose video cable?
Not sure it's all apart right now. Just wanted to check on the part # before I button it up again. It was working with the old screen. I'm replacing it because my son cracked it.
Well I took it all apart again and noticed that the original screen is a LP141WX3(TL)(N2) an the replacement is all the same except for (N4). Are they interchangeable? The store I bought it from told me it is the replacement number. Thanks for your quick response earlier!
@6641ymca I do believe that that screen should be compatible. Can you get video from an external monitor connected to the laptop through the VGA port on the side?
i need your help:(..i have this part thats hanging that i have no idea where it goes..ive got these same laptop on this video....& also when i turn it on it turns right back off & its plugged ...please help...thank you...
@ChrySTARamaya I would go back and check all connections and screws to be sure everything is securely in place. What part do you mean when you say that it is hanging?
My screen is flickering, some people say it might be the inverter, others say the lcd itself and there are some people who think it might be just a loose cable. Haha
What's your guess??
Im gonna give a try to open the monster and check it out, thanks for the video.
@juozin It is possible that it is all 3 problems lol. I would recommend checking the connections 1st as that would be the 1st thing to try in the process of elimination. Do you hear any high pitched noise? Does the screen flicker only when being moved? When the screen flickers do you see a faint image still on the screen?
2. Flickers all the time.. and yeah when flickers I can see a faint image
Now it's way worst that that, I cannot use it, I've to plug into my tv.
It works sometimes like that... the screen freezes for few secons then I can see/use for few secs and then if freezes again,... over and over, sometimes I simply get a mix of black/grey screen and it keeps flickering on the top of scree or below the task bar.
@juozin It is still "flickering" when it is plugged into your TV or external monitor? Probably the GPU or motherboard (GPU is on the motherboard) issue. I would have it looked at before buying a screen or inverter.
My DV4 1435 gets powered on, but only the lights from the keyboard area get on, and then they flash 4 times, stop and again flash 4 times again. I checked on the HP troubleshooting and it says something about the Graphic Controller. But if the screen is not working then probably the screen is the one that is giving that error on the boot. What would you do? Thank you.
@Longussss Sounds like a possible bad video chip. If the graphic controller is failing then you would not get any video on the screen even though the screen may be working. You may need to repair or replace the motherboard (which contains the graphic controller) in your laptop. I do a free estimate at my shop if you would like me to check it out.
@OwinSparks Do you mean there is no power? I would 1st go back and check your work, to be sure that all connections and screws are securely in place. Good luck!
dude...let's say my laptop's screen is loose....I think it might be the hinges....do I still have to disassemble the whole thing like this ?...or is there an easier way ?
I followed this guide to replace a monitor on dv4 laptop, worked good but when it has a white screen on bootup and the hdd light comes on for a couple seconds but turns off , what does this mean?
Hi I have a laptop ACER EXTENSA 5220 IN WHICH THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM FACING. When you turn it shows me a black screen. WHEN I AM IN PATA DESKTOP AND FN F6 AND MY PICTURE SHOWS BUT AFTER 2 SECONDS AN AUDIO SOUND again become black. BUT THE SCREEN CAN DO MINIMUM SHADOWS. Could you HELP ME; THANKS
@pmde36 I do believe that you must check the part numbers on the back of the Screen before ordering. That's what I do. If you find another way, please let me know!
So, what made you change the lcd? How did you determine it was a bad lcd, as opposed to an inverter or backlight (or is that the only way to change the backlight with this lcd?)
@gerryf19 I do believe that this LCD was cracked...if I remember correctly. It's not hard to tell when a LCD is cracked / broken. Sometimes if a LCD is not broken and there are video problems, I will use process of elimination.
@xWinterAries Yes in order to replace the entire video flex cable you would need to remove the display assembly. Incorrect colors may be caused by several things, least of which is the cable but it is possible. Software is also a possible cause and that may be easier to diagnose. I do a free estimate at my shop if you would like me to check it out. Good luck!
Hello , I am restoring my old dv4 and was wondering , I have a few questions 1. Can I make the screen led 2. Where can someone do this for me and is there a such thing as i7 duo processor just wondering if you can install it on the dv4
@amin4570 You should be able to find an LED screen for the DV4 but you first want to make sure the part numbers are compatible. I do believe that the DV4 uses a 2.26GHz Intel Core i3-350M processor and that socket type is PGA-988. The i7 duo processor uses a LGA1156 socket, so that processor is not compatible. I would be happy to replace your LCD Screen. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
@nomenaumdisponivel Generally you would want to find an exact match for your LCD Screen which would require checking the LCD's model number and ordering a LCD to match it.
@bryant110 Most laptop LCD screen installations are similar, however I do not know off hand if the Compaq Presario CQ62-209WM is the same as the HP DV4 or not.
@jrsowavy4yall I would recommend checking the LCD model number (on the back of the LCD Screen) and using google to find a replacement. The cost of the LCD depends on the model but generally range from $100 to $150. Good luck! Let me know if you would like me to replace your LCD.
Hello Fast Video Tech, I just replaced the LCD on a DV4. However, still no image. Although I did notice that the laptop had a broken small ribbon like cable that was broken; it's broken at the tip going towards the LCD. This cable that I'm talking about goes over the speaker plastic piece. At Minute 11:09 with your left hand you grab this cable that I'm talking about, and place it over the speaker plastic. Do you know if this cable could be the cause why I'm still not getting an image?
Great vid! I've been replacing pc parts for years now but this is my first LCD screen. When I powered up the screen worked but was very dim. What is your insight?
@sledx85 If it is VERY dim, as in you can barely see what is on the screen it would most likely be the inverter board (small circuit board directly under the LCD) that is either not functioning correctly or has a connection issue. My advice in this case would be to check the 2 connections (unplug and plug in again) on the inverter board and try that. If that does not work replace the inverter board (they are fairly inexpensive $10 - $30). Let me know if this helps. Good luck!
WOW ,that the video i was searching ,i have hp pavilion dv7 3057nr ,i need to replace the lcd screen but i need to know if is right conector or left. How can i know to buy the correct screen?? I'm using the laptop with external monitor that conect in the left side.
@TheCariduros I have a HP DV7 screen replacement video also! You may want to check that out, although the DV4 and DV7 are very similar. I would highly recommend removing the LCD screen and checking the part numbers on the back of the screen before ordering so you are sure that you are ordering the correct LCD screen. Or if you want to send me your laptop I will do a free estimate and replace the screen for you if you like.
Would this be the same procedure to repair the hinges? My DV4 screen has quite a bit of slack.,,not sure if the screws just need tightening or if the hinges need replacing.
@aDoubleUtube I have seen loose screws cause extra play in the display assembly before. More than likely though it is that the hinges have started to wear out and need to be replaced. Only one way to find out for sure and that is to take the laptop apart and check the screws/hinges. To answer your question, yes you would want to do what is shown in my video to get to the hinges. Good luck! Let me know if I can help!
Very helpful! But wow, what a poor design. You have to disassemble the entire bottom portion of the computer just to remove the screen and inverter board!
@chloeishere Thanks! You got that right! It is a very non symmetrical design for sure. Having to remove the entire display assembly adds tons of time to replacing the LCD. Looks pretty though, lol.
I have the same exact laptop. The colors are inverted but when I connect my tv to it via HDMI, the colors are perfectly fine so the video card is good I assume. What could it be?

@nomenaumdisponivel Generally you would want to find an exact match for your LCD Screen which would require checking the LCD's model number and ordering a LCD to match it.

COMPAQ PRESARIO CQ62-209WM COMPATIBLE LAPTOP LCD SCREEN 15.6"" WXGA HD just ordered a new screen is it around the same way to install?

@bryant110 Most laptop LCD screen installations are similar, however I do not know off hand if the Compaq Presario CQ62-209WM is the same as the HP DV4 or not.

hey where can i get the HP DV4 LCD Screen Replacement to buy nd how much they go for?
jrsowavy4yall 1 year ago
@jrsowavy4yall I would recommend checking the LCD model number (on the back of the LCD Screen) and using google to find a replacement. The cost of the LCD depends on the model but generally range from $100 to $150. Good luck! Let me know if you would like me to replace your LCD.

Hello Fast Video Tech, I just replaced the LCD on a DV4. However, still no image. Although I did notice that the laptop had a broken small ribbon like cable that was broken; it's broken at the tip going towards the LCD. This cable that I'm talking about goes over the speaker plastic piece. At Minute 11:09 with your left hand you grab this cable that I'm talking about, and place it over the speaker plastic. Do you know if this cable could be the cause why I'm still not getting an image?

Great vid! I've been replacing pc parts for years now but this is my first LCD screen. When I powered up the screen worked but was very dim. What is your insight?

@sledx85 If it is VERY dim, as in you can barely see what is on the screen it would most likely be the inverter board (small circuit board directly under the LCD) that is either not functioning correctly or has a connection issue. My advice in this case would be to check the 2 connections (unplug and plug in again) on the inverter board and try that. If that does not work replace the inverter board (they are fairly inexpensive $10 - $30). Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

@TheCariduros I have a HP DV7 screen replacement video also! You may want to check that out, although the DV4 and DV7 are very similar. I would highly recommend removing the LCD screen and checking the part numbers on the back of the screen before ordering so you are sure that you are ordering the correct LCD screen. Or if you want to send me your laptop I will do a free estimate and replace the screen for you if you like.

Would this be the same procedure to repair the hinges? My DV4 screen has quite a bit of slack.,,not sure if the screws just need tightening or if the hinges need replacing.

@aDoubleUtube I have seen loose screws cause extra play in the display assembly before. More than likely though it is that the hinges have started to wear out and need to be replaced. Only one way to find out for sure and that is to take the laptop apart and check the screws/hinges. To answer your question, yes you would want to do what is shown in my video to get to the hinges. Good luck! Let me know if I can help!

Very helpful! But wow, what a poor design. You have to disassemble the entire bottom portion of the computer just to remove the screen and inverter board!

@chloeishere Thanks! You got that right! It is a very non symmetrical design for sure. Having to remove the entire display assembly adds tons of time to replacing the LCD. Looks pretty though, lol.
