Introduction

Is your image flickering, shattered or discolored ? Replacing your screen could solve these problems. Always uses caution when working with glass, a scratch or slight fall could completely ruin a screen.

Tools

Step 1

'Make sure you are grounded, the power supply is not connected and you are wearing safety goggles.
Use the Philips #000 screwdriver to remove the 4 round12mm screws on the back panel.

Step 2

Using a Philips #000 head remove 2 flat 12 mm screws above stand mounting bracket.
Using a PH1 Philips head with the 150 mm flexible extension remove 1 Philips head screw under the stand mounting bracket.
Stand will easily pull off.

Step 3

Do not put the metal spudger between the metal and the glass. It needs to go under the bezel and above the metal.
Turn monitor so that the screen is facing you.
Pry the black bezel from above the metal by placing your metal spudger between the bezel and the metal and twisting the tool slightly.
The best places to pry are in the lower left and lower right corners of the black bezel.

Step 4

Be careful of the wires attaching the power button and the control buttons. Show extreme caution to ensure the button is not damaged.
Lift the screen assembly from the plastic housing from the corners.

Should it be "underneath one of the device's corners"?

You might want to add a note letting users know that they should be careful of the wires attaching the assembly to the housing.

You may also want to note that the card for the power button slides out when you lift this assembly so the user might need to be told to slide the card back into its slot when installing the new screen. ( A picture of this would be a good idea)

Step 5

Remove the 4 connectors from the left side of the monitor on the back.

Step 6

Lift the gray tape of the top of the monitor to expose the ribbon cable.
Remove the ribbon cable by sliding the connector towards the center of the screen assembly.
Lift the reflective tape next to the gray tape.

Step 7

Remove the 4 PH1 8mm Philips round screws on the outer edge of the screen's assembly.
Lift the screen from the screen assembly.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

The lcd panel of my HP 2210i 21.5 inchs monitor has been cracked. No way to find any replacement of this single part. The monitor works, but must go to recicle bin. Very sad.
