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??

@bobino9245 I would recommend 1st checking all the connections, especially the connection between the Screen and Inverter Board. Good luck!

What did you do with the foil? Is it OK to just take it completely off and leave it off?

[FastVideoTech]

@nflballer78 The new screens do not typically come with foil. That has never been a problem. Just install the screen as it comes new, without foil.

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

[FastVideoTech]

@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.

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?

This video just made me $75. Thanks!

Nice video, missed close ups, but its a good video. Uhmm that cover around the keyboard has a missing screw (bottom left corner).

It almost seems like there is a way to replace the screen without the full disassembly.

Couldn't this be done just at the display bezel level?

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.
