Replacing display on HP Pavilion dv4 -2049wm?

My laptop had an engine blowout and crashed from about 4-1/2 feet trying to fly across the room and cracked the display leaving only about 25% viewable.  I have found the replacement screen online, but I cannot find any instructions on how this is done.  Does anyone have experience with or have knowledge of a link that can show/explain to me how to replace the screen?   Many thanks....

This video explains it pretty well:
Youtube, of course
I have done this many times and it is actually one of the easier laptop repair items on most models. You may also want to have the manual:

The dv4 is slightly more difficult than most because you have to remove the whole display assembly at the place where the hinges connect to the main body of the laptop in order to get at the screen itself. So the video is not 100% accurate for you. It shows the easier method of just removing the front plastic cover, which applies to most types of laptops but not the dv4, but much of the video is useful.

  • I just replaced the hard drive on my Pavilion dv4 and now my screen wont turn on.

    Ok so my original hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv4 shot craps last week so I bought a new WD 500 gig for it. Prior to removing the old drive and installing the new drive my screen would light up and work properly. Now that I have replaced the drive my computer seems to be booting up but my screen does nothing but stay completely black. I know my drive is installed correctly and I'm pretty sure I haven't jarred ne thing loose in the process of changing out the drive because I only opened up the hard drive compartment to do the swap, which was extremely simple. I also was sure to remove the battery, unplug, and ground out ne static electricity before doing ne work on my computer. Im at a loss for what to try to get my computer back in working order. Ne suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for ur quick reply to my problem. I tried all of that with no results... I did notice tho that the lights next to and above my caps lock key and my num lk key are now flashing. They flash in unison three times then there is a two second pause then they flash three more times and this repeats. They may have been doing this before I tried this solution but I did not take notice until now... I was also wondering how I am supposed to know, after pressing f10 to enter bios, how I can tell if my new drive is being detected when my monitor will not function? Was pressing f10 supposed to possibly make the monitor turn on? In a last ditch effort to try and further identify the problem, I re installed my old drive. Before replacing it my computer would begin to boot then display a hard error that would not allow me to continue booting and run Windows. My display would still work but I could not run Windows. After re installing the drive the monitor will not turn on. I'm beginning to think that I have a bad monitor. Is there a way of testing this with out buying one? Where does the monitor connect to the mother board? I wonder if maybe its been jarred loose, although I highly doubt it, it may still be worth looking at. Thanks again for your advice.

    3. How do i get the latest drivers for my notebook as HP is not providing any recommendations.

    Hi:
    You can query by the part number listed on your battery if you want the same one or an equivalent.
    Below is the link to the dv4 service manual.  Supported batteries with part numbers are listed in Chapter 3, page 23.

  • Touchpad doesn't work - HP Pavilion DV4 - 2120ca

    Re: Pavilion DV4-2120ca
    Touchpad doesn't work after cleaning out the dust collection in the fan, heat sink area.  New Therma paste was applied.  
    Both the keyboard & touchpad were the 2 things that didn't work following reassembly.  The keyboard didn't work but able to use USB wireless mouse.  Couple days ago the replacement battery finally arrived, installed and charged for 12 hours.  After restart, the keyboard works as it should. 
    Unfortunately, touchpad still doesn't work. The light switch above the touchpad works, clicking on it turns white & amber but any movement scrolling doesn't work.
    We tried the following, but unsuccessful
    double tapping top left corner
    Hard Reset 
    Uninstalled ALPS & Synaptics -- reinstalled , restarted
    Updated Windows, HP, BIOS, Drivers
    Don't recall during reassembly if touchpad has a cable or connector.  If so, perhaps worth try to disconnect & reconnect to ensure correct connection.
    What do u advise to try next?
    Thank u
    ~ Gayle ~

    Did you connect the ribbon cable for the Touchpad. Often times there is one for the keyboard and one for the touchpad separately. Hopefully you have not damaged the ribbon cable. Just make sure you push it all the way in and seat it properly.

  • 3F0 Error, Hard drive does not exist on Pavilion dv4.

    I have a Pavilion Dv4 with windows 7 OS. 
    When I boot up the computer it tells me "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
    I have done the F2 system diagnostics and once I get there click the Hard Disk Test which brings me to where it says "Hard Disk Not Exist. Press <ESC> to continue" and prcoceed to hit Esc where it tells me the Hard disk test failed and "Boot device not found (3F0)" 
    After which I restarted and hit F10 to get to the BIOS which I then went to Diagnostics and tried to run the "Primary Hard Disk Self Test" and then it says "Hard Disk Not Exist" still. The memory test runs fine passes and gives me no errors. 
    I have also done a hard reset and have re-seated the hard drive and NOTHING has worked. Help would be appreciated because this has been happening for a VERY long time (just happened to be after the warranty ran out, convienent eh?) and I lucky had my fiances older laptop which is very old. 

    The notebook is not able to recognize the Hard Drive.
    Are you shure that warranty of your PC has ended? Keep in mind that warranty starts from the date that you buy the PC.
    If the Hard Drive test shows that the test failed, you will have to get it replaced. I suggest you to call HP technical support and get their advice on the available options for service.

  • How do i replace my hard drive? dv4

    I have a Pavilion DV4 Entertainment Laptop.  I replaced the hard drive and now it is acting like the drive isn't installed.  When I check BIOS, it says no HDD exists.  Is there something I am missing?  I made sure the drive is seated, it has 3 screws to ensure that.  And even when I plug the old drive in, I get the same message.  There is no HP support for this issue, well none that I don't have to pay for.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check the connection first. Updating BIOS may help. Please also check this:

  • Graphics/Video Problems on HP Pavilion dv4-1155se

    We have a brand spanking new HP Pavilion dv4-1155se running Windows Vista 64-bit Edition that continues to have issues.  At random times, the laptop display will flicker 2 or 3 times, and the laptop will blue screen, stating a problem with the graphics adapter.  We've updated the BIOS and graphics drivers from HP to no avail.  We've also donwloaded a driver directly from ATI which seemed to resolve the issue for an extended period, but has re-occured today.
    The only thing I can think of is that Vista may be using a built-in driver for the graphics adapter which is no good.  I'm considering the possibility that even though I updated the graphics with a driver directly from ATI, Vista overwrote it with its own again.  The laptop is currently off-site so I cannot verify this, but if anyone has had similar issues I'd like to see if you were able to find a fix.
    Regards,
    Phil

    Do you also get this error (in addition to the BSOSs): "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
    I started receiving the flickering screen and then the nvlddmkm error problem after I downloaded:
    Realtek - Network - Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
    Installation date: ‎11/‎8/‎2008 3:20 PM
    Installation status: Successful
    Update type: Optional
    DriverUpdate: Realtek Network software update released in July, 2008
    And:
    Device Driver Package Install: HP Developmen...
    I have a NVIDIA GPU and since you have ATI our similar errors may just be coincidental and/or a result of Windows Update.
    I do not know how the Realtek d/l would conflict with the GPU and I also updated HP Heath Check and HP Quick Play and HP Quick Launch Buttons just before Realtek.  I keep 'Print Screen' shots of my System Restore page to document the chronology of my updates and software installs.  Then through Problem Reports and Solutions, which displays the exact time of the "video hardware error", I was able to associate the aforementioned 3 recent updates as potential problems.
    Many dv9000 computers (and more) are experiencing the video display problems I am and their complete computer failures occur soon after receiving those video warnings. 
    Therefore, as you noted, your problem or mine might be as innocuous as an updated driver conflict from Windows Update or an HP driver update.

  • Hi, I have a HP pavilion dv4 laptop computer. My E:\ CDDVDW TS-L633M cd drive has stopped working

    Hi I have a HP Pavilion Dv4 laptop computer. My E:\ CDDVDW TS-L633M cd drive has stopped working. When I insert a new CD or an exiting cd into the cd drive, the computer displays a message to insert a cd into the drive. i Know that the cd that I'm inserting into the drive should be readable, but the computer doesn't recognize it. When I run the HP support assistant, and choose the HP Optical Disc Drive Check, I get the message "Insert media in : E:\ hp CDDVDW TS-L633M
    If you want to do write testing, insert blank writeable media, Otherwise, read-only testing will be performed. When I insert a  disk with a program that I want to install on the computer into the cd drive and click the next button, I get a window that says:
    "Media Identification:
      Wait while the media is being Identified."
     Then another window is displayed with the message:
    "Media Identification
      No disc has been detected."
    But I know that the disk is formatted correctly for my cd reader to recognize it.
    Please Help,
      -Ron

    Hi Ron,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If the drive is not working, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • I need the correct driver for an infrared remote control (ENE CIR receiver) for Pavilion DV4-2173nr

    I need the correct driver for an infrared remote control (ENE CIR receiver) for Pavilion DV4-2173nr.
    The receiver that came with my notebook is a black model one (see picture below), with the following information in its bottom label:
    RC1762302/00
    3139 228 50021
    HP SPS: 435743-001
    HP: HSTNN-PRO7
    RC6 ir
    CP06 60808 A 146218 REV. B
    I never managed to make it work, from the very beginning. I know it is working, because I replaced the battery for a brand new one and it shows a blinking IR LED when I press any button and point it to a digital camera.
    Searching for "ENE CIR receiver driver" is useless 'cause I received more than one hundred answers - I tried four of them but none worked so far. 
    So, instead of trying the whole bunch, I am crying for help -  could someone please tell me which driver is the correct one for this remote model?
    Thanks in advance and regards,

  • WD 320Gb HD with Pavilion DV4

    The hard drive in my Pavilion DV4 has gone bad.  The original HD was 250 Gb  I purchased a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320 Gb to replace it.  The computer will not recognize the new hard drive.  Using the restore disks just gives an "error 100a", and the startup diagnostic doesn't find the hard drive.  Is there a compatability problem with this drive?

    Do you have a Windows installation CD? I would connect the drive to another PC to verify it is working.
    If possible, I would partition and format it and then, back on the Pavilion, try again to boot from the Windows CD and see if the drive will be shown as an installation destination. If you suspect that the drive is not working properly, do not hesitate to contact the reseller and get a replacement.

  • Battery on Pavilion DV4 only last 1 hour. Suggestions?

    Battery on Pavilion DV4 only last 1 hour. Suggestions?

    +When I brought up an issue regarding Win XP at the Genius Bar, I was just told "oh that's a Win issue, talk to Microsoft."+
    Wow, perhaps the "genius" title is a little over-zealous. Windows interfaces with hardware using the drivers provided usually by the hardware manufacturer. The problem is most definitely the boot camp drivers, which were created by Apple, not Microsoft. Either they are simply in some kind of "beta" stage or Apple purposely did not build decent power management into them. I'm half wondering if this is some kind of "bait-and-switch" tactic. They promise the benefits of dual OS's with bootcamp but then make is so you never really want to run Windows because it will suck your battery down in nothing flat! And the funny thing is it's sort of working in my case. I've resorted to running VMWare Fusion rather than booting to Windows and I can get much longer battery life. But if I'm doing some serious work in XP I'd much rather boot to it natively so this is really pretty disappointing and not at all what I was expecting. Apple, PLEASE fix your drivers. You have nothing to lose. If anything, you might get more IT people like me buying Macbook's if it's known that they run Windows as well or better than most other laptops. Our new Dell Latitudes can get 5-6 hrs with a 9-cell battery. Hard to justify replacing that with a system that goes dead in 1 hour!
