HP Chromebook x360 14c-ca0053 Screen Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

10 - 15 minutes

Introduction

This guide outlines how to remove the screen of an HP Chromebook x360 14c-ca0053. The screen functions to display images on the device, and it should be replaced if it is cracked or going black routinely. The black tape in step 11 can be difficult to locate and is susceptible to snapping, so make sure you have good lighting and pull the tape out gently; this tape will need to be replaced as it is useless after removal.

Tools

Step 1

Use tweezers to apply light pressure on the outer sides of the 2 small screw covers located near the bottom of the device.
Rotate the covers until they pop up out of the screw socket enough to remove them with tweezers.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the two 3.5 mm screws.

Step 3

Use tweezers to peel back the feet on the top and bottom of the Chromebook to reveal four additional screws.

Step 4

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the 4 7 mm screws located at each corner of the device under the grips.

Step 5

Insert an opening pick between lower case and chassis.
Separate the lower case from the frame by sliding the opening pick along the perimeter until the case releases.

Step 6

Lift the lower case up and off.

Step 7

Open the tweezers wide enough to fit on each side of motherboard battery connection.
Pull the connector directly out of its socket.

Step 8

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the five 3 mm screws that secure the battery.
These screws are labeled 1-5.

Step 9

Lift the battery up and out.
Be careful as to not puncture or damage the battery.

Step 10

Use the opening pick to create a small gap between the back panel of the screen and the display screen.
If it is difficult to insert the opening pick between the screen and back panel, use the metal spudger instead.

Step 11

Use tweezers to locate the black tape between the back panel and the display screen.
Pull the adhesive through the gap on each side of the screen until it comes loose.
Replace the adhesive during reassembly.
