Need advice replacing HP Mini 2102 Screen

Hey all,
  I am fixing an HP Mini 2102 netbook that was dropped on the ground. The netbook works fine, except now the screen is somewhat hazy and washed out on the right side. Usually, when a laptop screen acts up, I try to replace the display inverter board, as was the case with an HP Pavilion dv9000 machine I fixed recently. 
  However, after dismatling the computer, I found no such inverter on the screen, and after consulting with a very helpful HP support assistant in a live chat session who informed me that there isn't a separate inverter board available for purchase, I've come to believe I must replace the whole screen.
 If I am not mistaken, the LCD part number is 589649-001 for this particular model I am repairing. I am creating this post to confirm that the inverter board on this Mini cannot be replaced, and that I must replace the entire LCD screen - minus the camera, bezel, and hinges, which all work fine - in order to fix the display issue.
  If there are any other suggestions as to what part I need, or if I need to take a completely different approach to the repair, please let me know before I order the LCD screen part.

Hi,
You're right, you can save money just select the right part(s). I believe not much.
Good luck.

  • IPad Mini Retina Screen needs replacing

    I recently dropped and damaged the screen of my iPad Mini Retina and it does need replacing. The iPad is out of warranty.
    Can anyone tell me how much Apple will cost to replace the Mini Retina Screen (I live in the UK) Perhaps I'm not reaching the right websites but I've come across poster saying that it can cost £200 plus to have Apple fix a screen, is this correct?  Third Party firms appear to be doing the same job for much less, but I do appreciate that by going that route Apple will wash their hands of any future faults.
    On their support website Apple have this to say. 'What does it cost? Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPad model and your AppleCare product coverage. Accidental damage isn’t covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty. '
    I live in a small town quite a bit away from an official Apple outlet can anyone advise me if Apple licence thrid parties to do repairs, there is a wel established iPhone shop in my town and they do repairs but would these be 'official' repairs?
    I'm sure some members have had cracked screens over the years, what did you do? Let Apple do the fix or go independant?
    As always many thanks for your advice
    Kevin

    This is the US page about Apple's repair policy for iPad screens: https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/screen-damage/
    If you choose to have anyone other than Apple work on the iPad, any and all support for the iPad by Apple won't be available to you anymore.
    For what it's worth, I had an independent company (really just one guy running a shop) repair my iPad's cracked screen. The screen was damaged a few months after I'd purchased the iPad, and I paid around $100 for the work.
    It's just about 3 years old now and the only issue I had was that the front camera didn't work after the screen was replaced. I brought the iPad back and he double-checked his work and got the camera functioning again. I haven't had any other issues.
    If you're willing to take the risk of it being damaged and are OK with paying for a replacement device outright if something goes wrong after the repair, you may as well go with the third-party.
    If you'd like the extra insurance (if you will) of Apple's support being available to you, then pay the ~$200 for them to do the work.

  • HT5866 my screen on my 5C have crack n I need to replace the lcd screen with digitizer is this possible?

    I need to replace my crack 5C screen, any help

    If you are in the US, some Apple stores have the ability to replace a screen, some do not. If they can, the cost is only $149. If they cannot, then without Apple Care + you would need to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a cost of $269. If you do have Apple Care +. you can make 2 total exchanges over the 2 year life of Apple Care + with a $69 deductible.

  • Replacing a mini for a nano?

    2 Questions: Is the sale of the mini dicontinued?
    And if so, If I need to replace my mini, thats under warranty, and they no longer sell them will they send me a nano instead. They are the same price neways.

    " you said apple is going to discontinue selling ipod mini but is that true?"
    Well do you see it for sale in the online store? There may be a few left in the refurbished store, and I saw a couple still on display at an Apple store here in the UK today, but aside from that, the iPod mini is discontinued and has been replaced by the nano.

  • Do I need to replace my cracked screen? - ipad mini

    ok, so I know there are tons of discussions about how to replace a cracked screen DIY, and how the out of warranty replacement costs works and prices, etc..
    But, my questions is do I really need to replace it if it otherwise is working ok?  i.e., is there something else that oculd be wrong with it, or something else that could happen later that I really need to.  It doesn't really affect screen viewing, just stares at me when screen is locked and makes me angry. ipad mini in a xdoria smart cover case dropped about a foot flat on front.
    both pictures below show the ipad in the same position. can't really tell crack when screen is on.  a little obvsious when screen is flat on table and i'm trying to type (can see fractured light a little).
    can physically feel crack on the surface.
    only had it a month, can't even blame the kids, **** it!

  • Need advice about replacing desktop, with laptop?

    I need to replace my old desktop. Know nothing about laptops! Would like to clear my spare room of computer desk and junk! Would a laptop serve the same purpose, as a desktop?
    I'm a retired lady and mainly use my computer for email, internet surfing and some games.
    I would not use for traveling.
    How would I connect to my broadband? Can I plug in without relying on battery? Can I still use my printer?
    In other words, can I use a laptop just as use my desktop?
    Solved!

    Hi Patsy.  I am confused on why so many are trying to steer you away from the laptop when it sounds like that is just what you are wanting.  Personally, I think you would love a laptop.  Like you I don't travel all that often, but the biggest advantage of the laptop for me has nothing to with travel and everything to do with the mobility of it within my own home.  If I want to lay on the couch and play on the internet, go outside on the patio and read an article or sit in bed and play a game on the computer or watch a DVD, it is no problem.  I have had my laptop about a year now and it is hands down more convenient than the desktop in my study. 
    In answer to a few of your questions, yes a laptop would work with your internet in exactly the same way as the desktop, BUT you would need to purchase a wireless router in addition to the laptop.  This router is what allows you to be wireless in your home.  You can then plug in anywhere in the house or work off the laptop battery, whichever you so choose.  The printer is the same way.  You could hook the printer directly to the router or if the printer has wireless capabilities, it could be recognized by your router and be wireless too, meaning it simply needs to be plugged in and not connected to anything else and you could still send documents straight from your laptop to it.
    As for computers, if you ever see a poster start talking in detail about graphics cards, more than likely they are high-end gamers.  In other words, not simple computer games but very graphic intense games that call for really good graphics cards.  From what you describe your use as, which is very similar to mine, you are just wanting it for internet/email, basic computer games and maybe some word processing abilities.  Most laptops you get today will probably have a graphic card that supports all you need.  The following is just my opinion on laptops based on needs that sound close to mine, so hopefully I won't get jumped on too much by other computer experts.  I would encourage you to avoid taking the cheapest route with a laptop.  That isn't to say avoid a good deal, just go for a good brand.  In my opinion the good brands do not include Toshiba (just personal experience based on several people who have gotten one in the last couple of years and reading up on them before buying) or Gateway (although I think they may have been purchased by Asus as was eMachine, so the quality might be better now.  They use to be crap!).  I would stick with HP or Dell myself.  I have a Dell, which again high end gamers are not as fond of because they have an integrated  graphics card.  For what you would use it for, a Dell would be more than fine, and they have been around a long time for a reason!  That is what my old desktop is too, and they have always responded to my issues, even when not under warranty anymore with that desktop.  As for what to look for, you should be able to get a decent laptop for $400-$550, maybe cheaper, but get a little more to the laptop and it will last you a little longer. I would look for something that is a Core2Duo versus simply Dual Core.  Try to go for at least 3GB memory, 4GB is better. As to the size of the hard drive, if you mainly just save pictures and documents like me a 160GB hard drive is more than enough, but if higher, even better. The huge retailer that starts with W, which apparently can't be written here, has some good deals on both HP & Dell, and they offer relatively cheap extended warranties.  Which by the way, I would highly encourage an extended warranty on a laptop.  Here are 2 other good deals I just came across on good laptops {Links removed per Community Guidelines} The 2nd deal has a bigger hard drive and a 17" screen versus a 15.6".  The bigger screen means it is going to be a little heavier though.  I originally wanted the bigger screen myself, but ended up going with the 15.6" as it was just easier to lug around.  They are so close in weight though, I don't know that it would matter that much to some.  As to hooking all this stuff up, such as configuring your router, printer etc.  If you know anyone that is good with computers it is usually a pretty simple task for them.  Most of kids in high school can do it with their eyes closed now.  If you don't know anyone, Best Buy has a service called the Geek Squad that will come and do it for you.  Have no idea the cost there, but I do know it doesn't have to be purchased at Best Buy for you to buy that service. 
    Anyway, I know I wrote you a book, but I hope this info help.  I really think you will be more than pleased with a laptop once you get the purchase and setup out the way anyhow!   Good luck, Leigh. 

  • IPAD MINI RETINA SCREEN VERSION IOS 7.1.2 can't success download apps , need to reboot every times only can download apps. Is iOS problem or hardware issue.? Local agent switch sale and tech support can't fix my problem.

    I Purchase iPad mini retina screen on July 7 2014 at Malaysia local apple sale agent switch store somehow now my iPad did restore to latest iOS 7.1.2, before that and after also facing 1new issue is my iPad mini cant success download apps and error message show can't download at this time, either retry or click done.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Portege Z830 - screen has been broken and I need to replace it

    Hi
    I have Toshiba Portege z830. My screen has been broken and I need to replace it.
    Is it possible to install some IPS screen instead of original LTN133AT25-601? Which IPS screen is compatible with LTN133AT25-601?

    Hi
    The original LCD which was used in Z830 was an 13.3"(HD) 1366 x 768 TFT Color LCD.
    So if you want to use other display, then you should pay attention to the screen size and the connectors.
    I think these are most important key elements.

  • What do i need to replace my screen?

    I was in class today using my Iphone 4S 64GB.I set it down on my desk, and turned around to answer sombody's question. When i turned back to my desk, i knocked my Iphone onto the tile floor (3-4 feet) and it completely obliterated my screen. Now, as apple is extremely expensive compared to other options, if I was to fix this myself, what would i need? I relaced the glass & LCD screen on my iphone 4, which was easy because i knew that the LCD was broken. But with this phone, ive noticed that the screen works. So does that mean i would only need to replace the glass? Or do i still need to replace the entire display?
    Thanks in advance

    There would be no way to tell without looking at it. Look at the teardown on http://www.ifixit.com

  • Need advice for installing flex application in touch screen Kiosks

    Hello,
    We have a requirement in one of our project to create touch screen interfaces and I am intending to user Adobe Flex for the development and run them in Adobe Air because, definitely it saves development time and great look and feel.
    However, I need advice on how to connect the application to a touch screen events like we do on  Keyborad and mouse events like, click() or onFocus etc.
    Please advice.
    Best Regards,
    Jai Kishan Shah

    Bar Code Scanners are no different than keyboards in my experience.  It just sends the text to whatever application is open. Integrating it with Flex requires no effort.  You just have to be sure that Flex is the current application and the field you want to put the data in is given focus.
    In a point of sale application with very specific use case and limited interface, it is easy to force the app to give focus to the input field that needs to accept your input.
    Credit card swipers work the same way.
    I don't know about a weighing scale, but I bet it is very similar.  If not, you may want to use Java for scale integration and then use Merapi to integrate with the Java applet.

  • Mac Genius said i need to replace SCREEN due to faulty Bluetooth module

    I have a Aluminium Macbook.
    It is under Apple care. I took it in today because the bluetooth kept loosing connection and then the Mac says no bluetooth hardware found.
    The Genius at the Apple Store said they need to replace the screen because the Bluetooth module "may" be behind the screen as it is not on the airport card anymore.
    Can anyone confirm, in the Aluminium Macbook (2008) where is the bluetooth receiver???
    Message was edited by: alborz82

    Hi alborz82,
    Correct. The Bluetooth adapter is not mounted onto the display assembly clamshell. It actually sits behind where it says "MacBook" which use to be the location of the Inverter board on the polycarbonate units (plastic). The Bluetooth adapter on the plastic MacBooks were mounted in front of the right hinge (wedged in between the hinge barrel assembly and the optical drive).
    It's not "behind" the screen, but the unit does have to be significantly disassembled in order to get at the Bluetooth module.

  • A135-S2326 replacing hard drive (bad sectors) Need advice and opinions Please

    Hi,   (note pic below of my computers actual specs from this morning)
     I have a Satellite A135-S2326. It has the max memory at 2GB, it came with 512 and I upgraded to 2GB. It runs Windows Vista Home Edition...
    Anyhow, it accidentally fell off my bed a few days ago (darn dogs) and damaged my hard drive. Boot problems, errors, bad sectors, etc. I have tried everything to fix and to no avail. While I am currently using it I know I need to replace the hard drive ASAP before I can't turn it on at all one day... I am now saving all my files and stuff I need off of it to an external drive. The laptop did not come with a windows Vista restore CD so I am using Acronis software to make an image of the hard disc, hopefully it will work and I won't have to purchase my own copy of windows Vista.
    Some questions I have are:
    1.) Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive to a faster one / better one when I replace?
         The hard drive that came preinstalled is a Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 80GB, which I believe from spec's documentation is a 5400RPM  Serial- ATA ???
         What is the max size I can get for replacement and what is the max RPM, or do I HAVE to use a 5400RPM???
         What do you suggest?
    2.) I have a copy of windows XP Professional w/SP2. Is it possible to put this windows XP Pro.w/SP2 on a fresh hard drive in the Satellite A135-S2326? If so, is there a different hard drive that I must have to do that?  Also if an XP install is possible on a new hard drive, which drivers must I have for this laptop when I do it??
    3.) And finally, could this laptop handle windows 7 business? Only asking because I can get a VERY cheap copy of windows 7 business from my school...I'm in college at DeVry and can get a copy of Windows 7 delivered to my door in 2 weeks for less then $30.00. So thought that MAY be an option....??? Not sure if my other spec's can handle it though???
    4.) What would you suggest I do with the options I have, what is best thing to do in your opinion??
          Please see pic below of my actual computers specs from this morning, using Belarc Advisor...
    Thank you in advance
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated
    Urgently waiting replies,
    Tina from Florida

    You can use ANY 2.5" SATA hard drive of any size in that system.  I would recommend one of the Western Digital Scorpio BLue's as they are reliable and offer good performance. 
    If it runs Vista it will run Windows 7.  I would wait a bit before trying Win7 though as Toshiba hasn't released all of the Windows 7 drivers yet. 
    As for Windows XP, while it is possible to install XP on that system (and quite easily for that matter) Toshiba doesn't provide any of the XP drivers needed to get it to run properly.  You could determine all of the various chipsets the system uses and go to each chipsat manufacturer's support site to see if they provide an XP driver to get it working, but I don't guarantee that they have all of the needed drivers.  If you do decide to go ahead with this let me know and I'll post the directions for installing XP onto a SATA hard drive that doesn't ahve a floppy drive. 
    Right now your best choice is to replace the old hard drive and restore the system from your Acronis image.  When ALL of the Windows 7 drivers become available you could install it in a dual boot configuration to determine if you prefer it or not.  It is both a step up and a step back from Windows Vista.  Some people will like it while others won't.  Only you will be able to determine which you prefer.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
