HP EliteBook 840 G2 Screen Replacement – Complete Guide for Kenya

Replacing the screen on your HP EliteBook 840 G2 laptop can restore crisp visuals, remove dead pixels or cracks, and bring your device back to reliable everyday use. Whether the screen is cracked, flickering, showing lines, or not displaying at all, a proper screen replacement brings your EliteBook back to the clarity you expect for work, school, or personal use.

This guide explains the screen replacement process, what to consider, and how to ensure the best outcome for your laptop in Kenya.

Common Signs You Need an HP EliteBook 840 G2 Screen Replacement

Here are typical issues that indicate a malfunctioning screen:

• Cracks or visible physical damage

• Black or blank display on power-on

• Flickering or distorted visuals

• Vertical or horizontal lines across the screen

• Dim, washed-out, or uneven brightness

• Dead pixels or screen artifacts

If your laptop exhibits any of these symptoms, the screen or its connector may be faulty and often needs replacement.

Understanding the HP EliteBook 840 G2 Screen

The EliteBook 840 G2 typically comes with:

• 14-inch display panel

• Full HD (1920 × 1080) or HD (1366 × 768) resolution options

• LED backlit screen technology

These displays are mounted inside a thin frame and connected with a delicate video cable. Any impact, pressure, or wear over time can cause damage requiring a new panel.

What You Need for a Successful Screen Replacement

1. A Compatible Replacement Screen

Ensure you get a direct replacement screen that matches:

• The correct size (14 inches)

• The correct resolution (HD or Full HD)

• The correct connector type

Using an incompatible screen can result in dim or non-functional displays.

2. Proper Tools

The screen replacement requires:

• Small Phillips and flat screwdrivers

• Plastic opening tools or spudger

• Tweezers (optional)

• Clean workspace with good lighting

Never use sharp metal tools in direct contact with the panel — they can damage internal components.

Step-by-Step Screen Replacement Guide

Important: Before beginning, power off the laptop completely and disconnect the power adapter. Work on a stable surface and handle components gently.

1. Remove the Battery and Power

• Shut down the EliteBook 840 G2

• Unplug the AC adapter

• Slide the battery release and remove the battery

This prevents electrical damage during the replacement.

2. Separate the Display Bezel

• Open the laptop screen fully

• Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry the bezel away from the frame

• Work around all edges — don’t rush — clips are delicate

Be careful not to strain the webcam ribbon or cables.

3. Remove the Damaged LCD Panel

• Once the bezel is off, locate and remove the screws holding the display panel

• Slowly tilt the panel forward

• Carefully disconnect the video cable from the back of the screen

Do not pull hard — video cables are fragile.

4. Connect the New Screen

• Align and plug the video cable into the replacement panel’s connector

• Ensure it clicks or sits firmly but do not force it

Once secure, place the new panel back into the frame.

5. Fasten the Panel and Reattach Bezel

• Screw the replacement panel back into its mounting points

• Snap the bezel back in place gently but firmly

• Make sure all clips lock without gaps

6. Reinstall the Battery and Power On

• Slide the battery back in

• Connect the power adapter

• Power on the laptop to confirm the new screen displays correctly

If you see the BIOS or Windows login screen clearly, the replacement was successful.
