Are you grounded? If yes, grabbing both, the display cable and its adhesive stripe ─ as it is shown in pic#2 ─ straightly and resolutely pull the display cable out of its connector.

Here at Electronic World, whatever the future of television holds, we’ll still offer you the best possible range of high quality cheap TVs – for more information, call us on 0121 327 3273 or visit our Birmingham showroom.

In the ENVY 15 j100el model the graphic card GeForce GT 740M can provide the display connected through the LVDS interface with a resolution up to 1920 x 1200 with the easy withstanding of the processor which can also handle bigger resolutions.

Retrieve the top cover and place it over the display assembly. First lay its bottom down so that the hinges will help you to centre it properly and afterwards gently turn the top cover down over the display.

Starting from the left hinge, guide the display cable to its connector letting it pass though the clips of its routing channel.

1884: A German university student named Paul Gottlieb Nipkow proposed and patented the scanning disk which would later form the basis of mechanical television, although it seems he never actually made one.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the last Phillips PM2.5×6.5 screw that secure the fan to the top cover. Do not group it together with the two previous screws because it is longer than those.

Then, keeping the cable positioned with one hand, push the locking flap down using a spudger. This operation has not to be done in one single movement: start pressing the middle of the flap and evenly proceed with its edges.

Once both of the hinges are fastened, set the left rear speaker in its original position and secure it to the top cover mounting its two screws.

Then, using your fingers as shown in pic#2, attach the adhesive stripe over the connector and on the back of the display panel. Try to maintain the connection tight: while you are turning the stripe, keep pushing it straight forward also, as you just did to insert the cable in the connector.

Once you have completed the long edge, proceed along the short edges. When also these two sides will be detached, the base enclosure will come out from the bottom edge with ease.

Place the webcam cable back in its routing channel, laying it over the display cable and letting it go through the same clips.

2008: The first commercial LED television is produced by Sony – the XEL-1. The same year, Hyundai (better known for the cars) put the world’s first 3D television on sale in Japan.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the four Phillips PM2.0×2.9 screws that secure the display panel to its enclosure. Group these screws together.

Once the module is standing ─ if you're grounded ─ grab it with your fingers as it is shown in pic#3 and slowly pull it out of its connector maintaining its inclination.

1928: The first commercial television sets are made available. These were radios with the addition of a mechanical television device, using Nipkow’s scanning disk, which produced an image the size of a postage stamp, and used a magnifying glass to enlarge the image – but only to twice the size.

On another occasion, when I was probably disassembling or mounting the base enclosure, I also broke the thread pointed by the shorter red arrow. I never managed to find all of its plastic broken pieces to rebuilt it in the end, so, watch out!

1986: Audience numbers soar, with over 30 million people tuning in to BBC’s soap opera EastEnders to watch Den divorce Angie.

Therefore, since the fact that your hardware can support it, if you have to replace the original LG LP156WH3(TL)(S2) panel display, which has a native resolution of 1366×768 (HD), you could consider to upgrade it to a Full HD display with a 1920x1080 (FHD) native resolution.

If you don't manage to disconnect these two coaxial connectors with the tweezers you can try this other method (step#5).

Now the top cover is completely disconnected from the display panel and it is free to move. Grab it at the short edges and take it out of the display hinges by sliding it forward and tilting it up a little.

Starting from the exit of the right hinge, guide the two wires together along their routing channel. Look out for and make use of all the clips.

Note that if you still see a black empty line between the connector and the display cable as it is shown in pic#3 the cable is not correctly inserted. You have to the detach the adhesive and push it further inside!

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the Phillips PM2.5×4.5 screw which lastly secures the left hinge of the display to the top cover. The screw is visible in the last picture of the previous step.

1926: By the following year, Baird has improved his system enough to reproduce a recognisable human face – that of his partner Oliver Hutchinson. It uses only 30 lines to produce the image.

On top of the previous movement - and always maintaining the SSD tilted - you have to lightly move the module back and forward as the blue arrow shows: think of a pendulum.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver unfasten the eight not-releasable screws that secure the heatsink to the motherboard. Nearby the screws you will notice that numbers have been impressed: the screw marked in red is the first one that has to be unfastened, follow then the order.

Be careful. As you can see sliding from pic#2 to pic#3 I broke the plastic which was holding the golden thread of one screw. When I then reassembled the laptop, I had to glue it back in its position. These screws keep the laptop together, if you broke their threads too, put those back together with glue.

Remove the covers of the double-sided tape and lay the bezel over the display assembly. First lay down the bottom edge between the hinges which will help you to better centre the bezel and then make it turn down.

Conclude the removal by releasing the antenna cables from the clips and the routing channel built into the left rear speaker.

It is very likely that tabs break down during this operation. Once you have removed the base enclosure, look for broken tabs pieces inside the laptop. If you find them, remove them straight away: they could manage to hide somewhere and cause damages in the future.

Take the new display and turn it down on the enclosure starting from the bottom, as it is shown in pic#2. Once all of the pins which stand nearby the screws' threads have passed through the metal tabs, the display is correctly positioned.

Lay the new display panel over its packaging ─ or any other soft layer you have at hand ─ with its front side facing the table so that you have the display connector in front of you, as in pic#1.

1925: John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor, gave the first public demonstration of television on the 25th March, at Selfridges in London, using a mechanical system. At this stage, it consisted only of moving silhouettes.

2018: LG introduce the world’s first 8K OLED TV at the IFA in Berlin. LG also unveil the world’s first 65-inch rollable TV.

With high probability the connector will softly move backwards a little while you are pushing the cable inside: it's ok, keep pushing it forcefully in order to connect them right. The connector will automatically come back when you stop pushing.

1936: The BBC begins transmitting the world’s first public television service, from Alexandra Palace in north London. They alternate between Baird’s mechanical system and the electronic system from adjoining studios for some time – but the “high definition” 405-line electronic system quickly wins out.

bear in mind that you will need to replace the thermal paste too and therefore, before starting, gather together all the tools that you will need for that too. In order to work on the display hinges with ease, we have to indeed disassemble the heatsink and the fan. You can find the standard display cable for sale on e-commerce using the following HP part number: 720536-001.

Using the small pliers grab the hinge in the middle and push it down. Once it is almost fully attached, finish the operation pressing its top with your fingers. If the centring pin manages to pass trough the hinge, top cover and display assembly are correctly aligned.

If you will be not disposing the old screen, wear the anti-static wristband before beginning the separation and while you are taking the bezel away, try not to detach the dove-grey shield that covers the LED driver of the display (in other words, do not obtain something like the bottom of pic#3).

It's only a matter of cleaning well the motherboard and laying down some new thermal compound. You can follow the steps for this operation at this link (step#12) Cheers!

1946: BBC broadcasts resume – with the same Mickey Mouse cartoon that had been interrupted seven years earlier. The following day, the Victory Parade is televised.

1955: Independent Television – ITV – is launched; the first commercial service in the UK. Controversially, on the night of the first commercial broadcasts, the BBC air a particularly dramatic episode of The Archers, featuring the death of core character Grace Archer – drawing 20 million listeners and criticism that it was purposefully timed to draw people away from their new rival.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the two screws that secure the left rear speaker to the top cover. Group these screws together.

1953: The first broadcast of the current affairs programme Panorama – still running today, as the BBC’s longest running series.

2014: Samsung announced the end of plasma television production. Also, Netflix began streaming shows at 4K to compatible televisions.

Besides the previous restrictions you are free to choose about brightness, viewing angle, colours range, surface treatment, contrast ratio, response time, resolution (the latter one up to a max of 1920x1200 due to the graphic card) and so on.

1967: The BBC broadcasts its first colour pictures from Wimbledon. By the middle of the following year, almost every BBC2 programme was in colour, and six months later colour would come to BBC1.

Grab the end of the new cable with your fingers as you did with the old one, align it and push it inside the connector straightly and powerfully.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the two Phillips PM2.5×3.2 broad head screws that secure the display bezel to the display assembly.

Secure now the bezel at its left corner with two of the four Phillips PM2.5×3.2 broad head screws using a PH#00 screwdriver. Afterwards, reattach the custom adhesive shield over the screws. If the latter one is not sticky anymore, add some double-sided tape.

In the same year, a Hungarian engineer named Kálmán Tihanyi first describes the principles of plasma television – something that wouldn’t become commercially available for decades.

Using a PH#000 screwdriver remove the seven small Phillips PM1.5x2 screws of the battery bay. Group these screws together.

Once the wifi antenna cables have been correctly routed, connect them back to the wifi & BT module. Place the golden end of each wire over its coaxial connector and, using a spudger, simply press it down straightly and forcefully: they will loudly snap into their connectors. Look at pic#3 in order not to mix up the cables!

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the three remaining Phillips PM2.5x3 screws of the service door area. Group these screws together.

Then, using a spudger, flip up the locking flap of the connector by prying it open. It's possible that it won't disconnect at once because it is quite a firm and long connector. If it is so, don't force it, but gently pry it open to the sides also.

STOP only when you see a flat full golden surface between the two parts. Do not stop pushing when there are still black empty spaces as it is shown in pic#3, that is not enough. When I later switched on the laptop, the display was not working good and I had to disassemble the bezel and the panel again to push the cable further inside.

Before dismounting anything it is better to clean all the parts. Are you grounded? If yes, take an antistatic brush and dust off all that you can.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove then the eight Phillips PM2.5x5 screws that secure the base enclosure to the laptop. Group these screws together.

1939: Two days before war breaks out, the television service is suddenly blacked out – in the middle of a Mickey Mouse cartoon – amid fears that the transmitters could provide navigational aid to enemy aircraft.

Now, using your hand, drift the speaker towards left a bit in order to be able in the next step to use the pliers on the right hinge with ease.

Start from one of the two bottom corners. Using a pair of tweezers remove the custom adhesive shield that covers the screws.

I use the brush combined with a low-powered vacuum that works through a DIY rubber tube with a sieve attached to its end. Using a vacuum cleaner could be dangerous because it produces quite an amount of static electricity. Other users prefer to use air cans or air compressors. Inform yourself about this matter and make your own choice.

2013: Samsung announced availability of its 110-inch Ultra HDTV for custom orders, making this the world’s largest Ultra HDTV so far.

1977: The first true all-LED flat panel television screen was developed by James P Mitchell – the prototype would be displayed at the 29TH International Science and Engineering Fair in Washington DC the following year.

1937: Viewers were able to watch King George VI’s Coronation Procession in May – the BBC managed an impressive number of outside broadcasts, despite audiences limited by the expense of television sets.

Keep the fan and the heatsink tight when you are removing them: there is only a thin stripe of adhesive tape that holds them together! They can split up at any time and hit the motherboard.

Repeat the same operation on the other corner in order to remove all of the four broad head screws that secure the display bezel and group these screws together.

Carry on the removal of the wireless antenna cables releasing them from eventual intersections with other cables and from the clips built into the top cover and the connector board. Use a spudger to separate them from the other cables if you like.

Are you grounded? If yes, using a pair of tweezers grab one of the two wireless antenna cables at its golden end and take it out by pulling it up strongly and resolutely.

Release now the display cable from its routing channel up to the left hinge. Pull it out using your hands and by getting round the plastic clips.

The best display panel that this HP model could afford would probably be the B156HAN01.0 produced by AUO due to its wide viewing angle, IPS technology, high contrast ratio and better colour performance but this screen was only produced until 2013 and it’s hard to find nowadays. I managed to find this panel on eBay and after its installation the result was really good - viewing angle and colours were fantastic - but unfortunately it was not functioning in the middle (a small black vertical stripe was there). So, in the end, I installed a B156HTN03.3 which is not as good as the above-mentioned one but a whole lot better than the original LG display. Choose your best one!

jump directly to step#23 ─ in any case only after having removed the battery in order to avoid short circuits on the display cable once you will be handling it ─ and try to install the new LCD without opening the laptop. It’s quite difficult because two of the four screws that secure the display bezel are hard to reach without splitting the laptop in two but you could manage to loosen them somehow.

Television has come a long way since it was first invented. From the first sets with screens of only a few inches wide to today’s massive home cinema screens and ultra 4K high definition picture, it’s quite astonishing how quickly this technology has developed. Here we’re going to take a look at the timeline off the television, from its humble beginnings to where it is now:

In order to disconnect the ribbon connector of the webcam cable, grab it as it is shown in pic#1 and ─ by swinging it a bit back and forth ─ pull it up powerfully.

1934: Philo Farnsworth gives the world’s first public demonstration of an all-electronic television system, using a live camera, at the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia.

1954: In the US, the first colour television broadcast is of the 1954 Tournament of Roses parade – most broadcasts however continue to be in black and white.

While the hinge is being pulled, this small centring pin has to come out of it. Keep an eye on it because it can easily break. You could use a metal spudger behind the hinge to hold the plastics down while you're raising the hinge if you like.

1997: The first plasma televisions go on sale to the general public; Fujitsu, Philips and Pioneer are the first to market.

Note that webcam cable passes over the display cable. When we will be installing the new cable in a couple of steps, we have to remind that.

By gently levering with opening tools, disengage the tabs that secure the base enclosure to the laptop. Start with the longer edge. Feel free to use your hands and to lift or turn the laptop if you like.

The job is done! The new display panel and its new cable are finally connected to the laptop. Only the new thermal paste layout and the final reassembly are missing.

Take the display enclosure and, if it's necessary, remove the dirt using a brush and a vacuum cleaner. Isopropyl alcohol would work well too but do not use it nearby the wifi antennas which are on the top right corner.

Disconnect the fan's ribbon connector. It would be better if you would follow this method (step#2) but if you do not properly manage to grab the connector with your fingers, take two pairs of tweezers, grab all the wires as close as possible to the connector ─ as it is shown in pic#2 ─ and resolutely pull them straight up.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the Phillips PM 2.0x2.5 screw which secures the SSD to the base enclosure: the SSD module will tilt up immediately.

1908: Alan Archibald Campbell-Swinton publishes a letter in the scientific journal Nature, describing how a cathode ray tube could be used to both transmit and receive “distant electric vision”.

There is a thick adhesive stripe that attaches the bottom edge of the bezel to the display panel. Therefore, keeping the bezel tilted up a bit with one hand, detach the tape from the bezel using the other hand trying to leave the adhesive attached to the display. Start from a corner and go slowly along the edge.

At this point some users would turn the laptop upside down once again and press the power button a couple of times. They say that this should help dissipating all of the remaining electricity around the device. Up to you :)

Afterwards, starting from the middle of the bottom edge and going towards the short edges, snap all the tabs of the bezel back into position. Finish the reassembly at the webcam and press a little over the areas where you laid the adhesive.

1964: The first monochrome plasma display was invented at the University of Illinois by Donald Blitzer, H. Gene Slottow and graduate student Robert Willson. They were used in computer systems.

Once you are done with the screws, grab the heatsink and the fan as it is shown in pic#2, tilt them up a bit, and carefully slide them forward a little: until the fan is free of the left display hinge marked in green in pic#1. Finally then, rise them up and put them aside.

1960: The first broadcast of Coronation Street – ITV’s long-running soap opera, which became the world’s longest-running soap opera in 2010 and is still on our screens today.

Once the flap of the connector is locked, reattach the adhesive tape over the connector. Mind the other two wires which it is also holding.

Using a spudger, lift one of the top corners of the display panel until you manage to grab the latter one with your fingers.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the two Phillips PM2.5x4.5 that secure the right hinge to the top cover. You can group these screws together with the one we removed from the left hinge in the step#16: they are identical.

Using the small pliers grab the right hinge in the middle and pull it up as far as it opens. Observe the same precautions you followed opening the left display hinge: grab it in the middle only.

Once the webcam cable is correctly positioned, grab its end as shown in pic#2 and push it inside its ribbon connector resolutely, with one single movement.

Image

Using your fingers and a spudger, or any other opening tool, pry the bezel away from the display enclosure. First start from one of the two top corners and go along the long edge. Do not push the opening tool too much inside, its tip is already enough to disengage the tabs of the bezel.

Afterwards, using a pair of tweezers, grab the HDD's SATA cable at the transparent tab and simply lift its end up, out of the connector.

Repeat the previous two operations on the left hinge. Have a look at step#14 if you don't remember where the remaining Phillips PM2.5×4.5 screw has to be reassembled.

By levering with an opening tool, pry the HDD out of its bay. Once it is on your hand, release its cable from its retaining hole obtained on the base enclosure and finally leave the HDD aside.

1951: The first national live television broadcast in the U.S. took place, airing President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco.

1963: The first broadcast of Dr Who – the cult science fiction show which, despite cancellation in the late 80s, would return to become one of the BBC’s longest-running shows.

Flat-panel display Examples

Make the webcam cable go through its indentation obtained in the hinge and lay it over the display cable at the circular exit of the hinge.

Lay the display cable's end inside the connector. It is rightly positioned when its two indentations match the two small black "squares" at the edges of the ZIF connector and when the white line visually creates a single line with the those "squares".

When the webcam cable meets the adhesive stripe of the display cable, let the former go behind the latter so that later, once you will be attaching this adhesive stripe over the fan, it will hold also the webcam cable in position.

Using both, a pair of tweezers and your fingers, detach the adhesive which covers the display's ZIF connector. Be careful not to damage the two thin wires which are also held down by the adhesive.

Using a PH#00 screwdriver reassemble two of the three Phillips PM2.5×4.5 screws in order to fasten the right display hinge to the top cover.

Using the small pliers grab the left hinge in the middle and pull it up as far as it opens. The hinge is quite hard to turn so feel free to move around to find the best grip. Only remember not to grab the hinge too far from its pivoting point, because you could bend it by prying it away from elsewhere.

Remove the old double-sided adhesive tape which is on the internal side of the display bezel. Scrub it off using a stiff tool and isopropyl alcohol if it's necessary.

Retrieve the left hinge cap and snap it back in its position. You should be able to hear a weak click when it gets rightly connected. If not, probably the cables don't let it snap properly due to their incorrect position.

When you will be installing these two rubber pads again, pay attention to their difference. Search for the letter "R" impressed on the base of one of them and stick that one in the bay which displays the "R".

Grab then the left hinge cap with your fingers and, by forcefully pulling it out, disengage it from the display enclosure. Leave it aside for a while.

Using your hands ─ and paying attention to clips and intersections with other cables ─ begin to release the wireless antenna cables from their routing channel built between the subwoofer and left front speaker.

Go on setting the cables in their channel built between the front speaker and the subwoofer. Use a spudger to push the antenna wires and the other cable with ease inside the two metal clips.
