HP ProBook 650 G5 Screen Replacement 

If the display on your HP ProBook 650 G5 is cracked, flickering, showing lines, discolored, dim, or completely blank, a screen replacement is often the best solution. This guide explains what screen you need, how to replace it, tools required, and important tips to help you complete the repair safely and correctly.

Signs You Need a Screen Replacement

You may need a new screen if your laptop shows:

• Cracks or physical damage to the display

• Vertical or horizontal lines on the screen

• Dead pixels or color distortion

• Dim or uneven brightness

These issues usually indicate damage to the LCD panel, backlight, or display connections, which cannot be fixed and require replacement.

The HP ProBook 650 G5 typically uses a 15.6-inch LED backlit LCD panel. Replacement screens come in different resolutions depending on the original configuration:

• Anti-static wrist strap (optional)
