Introduction

Is your HP Stream - y010nr screen not working? Did you accidentally drop it and break the screen? This guide will show you the proper steps to remove and replace the screen so it will be back in working condition.

Tools

Step 1

Gently peel back the two rubber strips that cover the screws on backside of the computer with the needle nose tweezers.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.

Thanks for the easy & simple guide very useful!

Quick question, if we’re only accessing the top section laptop components, how come we need to undo the back screws? Also if there’s a back screw that’s underneath the wifi card is missing, would that interfere with its functionality? (Like grounding screws etc)

Thanks for your time!

Step 2

Unscrew the seven 0.4mm screws on the backside of the laptop with the Phillips #0 Screwdriver.

Step 3

Take the opening picks and push them into the seam between the keyboard and the laptop casing.
Go all the way around the laptop.

Step 4

Once the cover is loose enough, lift the keyboard up to expose the wiring beneath.
Be careful not to pull too hard or fast as there are ribbon cables attached to the keyboard and trackpad.

Step 5

Disconnect the three cables by lifting up on the locking tab of the ZIF connector and pulling the cables out with the needle nose tweezers.
Remove the keyboard.

Step 6

Using your fingers or a spudger, pull the battery cable from its connector to disconnect power from the motherboard.

Step 7

Insert iFixit opening picks into the edges of the screen to break the seal between the screen and bezel.

Be sure to use the iFixit designated name for this tool. Do you have pictures of you peeling the hinge up?

I believe that you are missing your prerequisite steps, such as how you removed the keyboard.

Step 8

Peel the hinge up by sliding iFixit opening picks left to right along the hinge.

Step 9

Remove the bezel by pulling upwards on the left bottom corner.

How can I remove it? Clarify guide text and pictures. Be sure to proofread all guide steps for end punctuation.

This is a weird angle for this step… Perhaps focus more on the actual removal of the plastic frame? Also, what plastic frame are you talking about?

Step 10

Disconnect the screen from the motherboard by pulling the display cable from its connector.

Make sure to remove the battery from these and subsequent shots. When you retake, I would also zoom in focus more so it’s easier to see the cable being disconnected.

Step 11

Unscrew the four 0.4mm screws surrounding the display using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

Step 12

Gently remove the screen from its holding and lay the screen down on the keyboard. It is still attached to the computer.

I need additional images here to understand what you’re asking for. Also, note the heavy shadowing on this image.

Step 13

Take the tweezers and push up on the small connector to the left of the webcam.

What is the small black piece called? Can you get pictures where it is more in focus of the camera, instead of almost off screen?

Step 14

Gently pull the cord out from around the screen area.

I would separate the cord out, since you indicated this was a challenging process. Then, make a new step and take pictures of how to remove the screen.
