Introduction

For this guide, you will be replacing the screen in your HP Chromebook 11A G8 EE laptop. The screen is the display for your entire laptop. It will show you whatever you are working on. The display specs are 11" diagonal, HD (1366 x 768), anti-glare, 220 nits, 45% NTSC [8,9,10]. You may need to replace the screen if it is no longer displaying a picture, or if it is cracked. Before you begin the replacement, be aware of any shattered glass, and make sure your device is turned off since you will be working with wires.

Does IFixit Sell this screen? I am unable to source parts and this screen for these educational units by HP. I wish iFixit would also list the parts that are needed for the repairs and not just the tools they sell.
