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.
