Introduction

This guide will provide guidance on how to replace the display on your HP EliteBook x360 830 G7. Screens are vital for the user operation of your laptop, as it is an essential output in order for a user to see what their computer is doing and/or what they are doing. Water, cracks, and drops are all ways that your screen can become damaged.

Before you begin, remove any cases or screen protectors, disconnect your computer from it's charger (if connected), and then power off your device.
