So after screwing it back together, I started it, pressed enter while it was connected to external monitor. After that, it continues windows boot and once it boots windows correctly, it identifies a secondary monitor and sends signal to it. Turns out, I need to press enter key during POST to get past a missing wireless card warning message. I had to open it again and connect the display and power it on while open to see if it reports anything to the screen. I attach an external monitor and don't see anything either. Lights still on and hard drive still spinning. I re-opened it, checked the connections and tried to boot and I see lights come up and fan start up, and immediately stop. After removing the screen and screwing it back up, it did not start for sometimes. I've opened HP laptops in past and I'm not a huge fan of it. The second and most recent one (last week) was an HP laptop. Screwed everything together and connected it to VGA and voila! I see the POST screen and windows booting on my external monitor. Removed the LVDS cables, wifi card and antennae and webcam connector from the mobo. Of course, I had to give up the in built wireless functionality, webcam and internal mic. I infact did this with two of my laptops that had hinges broken. Dont drill through the board on the way back in. Patch the laptop back up and make sure to use the right size screws. Drink too much and go out with friends to smash it.
Take apart the over-complex LCD framing and retrieve the wiring (in case you ever want to replace the screen) and/or wifi antenna and stuff the thing back in.ī. After disconnecting these wires from the motherboard/onboard graphics cards (slowly, mind you) you should find that at this point you can either:Ī. One for both the webcam and wifi antenna and another for the monitor. There should be two sets of wires if it's a modern laptop. Every inch of this process should be done slowly. Detach the ribbon, remove the keyboard and remove any paneling. Carefully (VERY CAREFULLY) remove the keys using a pulling up motion.ĭon't get angry and try to rip the bitch out because there is a ribbon attached to the bottom of it that sends your keystrokes to the mobo. Remove only these screws or other screws which may be holding down the plate protecting the base of the hinge.
Remove the screws located on any of the bays (or possibly under your battery) which almost always have a symbol indicating a keyboard screw. Typically a laptop has three screws in the bottom under the paneling.
I think unless you do serious damage or have "issues" pulling it out, you'll be fine by removing it. Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to disconnect my broken laptop screen and just use an external monitor or will my motherboard get mad that its missing the connections to the screen? Any help is appreciated!ĭepends really.
