HP Envy TouchSmart 15 Digitizer Front Glass Repair

[@maxw1346]

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm watching in Aug 2019 and you just saved my 19 year old son from having to buy a new laptop. Also he did the job himself and was so proud that he had been able to fix it by following your step by step instructions. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Glad he got it working. Those digitizers can be tricky.

[@ArthurElizondo]

We fixed it in 10 minutes! My son & I called Tim to see about having him fix the laptop. Tim mentioned that some laptops did not retain the "Touch Screen" capability with the new parts. It occurred to me that if we unplug the touch-screen cable then the laptop would work. Yes,,, the cracked screen was still there. But we only had a small section that was cracked. Anyway if you need to access the laptop to get data or just use it, you can disconnect that wire and presto, the laptop works! You can replace the Digitizer Screen at a different time. Thank you so much for helping us Tim. You are an awesome person.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Arthur Elizondo Glad you got it fixed and thanks for the donation.

[@bcinsteadof3]

Finally got around to doing this. It took about 3 hours for me. Great instructions. A couple things that I would add: the screws on the hard drive mount need to be removed before the bottom plate comes off. The rubber on the edge of the bezel is quite easy to tear when heated, I was using a guitar pick and made two small tears in it. Do not touch the LCD after removing the digitizer panel or you'll be spending a while cleaning it. Same thing with the back of the new digitizer panel, leave the plastic film on it until you're actually ready to put it on the computer so it doesn't get dust and fingerprints on it. Aside from those things, the repair was exactly as the video demonstrated, and I was only left with 1 extra screw at the end, so I'd call that a win.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Good job. Glad the video helped.

[@williambuchman7554]

Thanks so much for this video! I just successfully replaced the digitizer on my 17" HP Envy laptop. Minor differences from the 15" but nothing I couldn't figure out. I couldn't have done it without your help.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching.

[@Wildminecraftwolf]

i have this exact laptop. the screen is broken and the hinge near the power button is stuffed up- this video was absolutlye perfect for me thanks so mutch

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@ZIOS76]

THANK YOU MAN , YOUR WORK IS HIGHLY APPREITED.

[@steveanthony6570]

Very nicely done .Good clear instructions as i am going to be doing my nephews digi screenreplacement. Ive done several motherboards etc but ive never tackled a screen replacement never-mind the digitizer screen

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Steve W Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

[@nataf10]

Nice job...you just forget to mention the backup battery when you installed the laptop back. Bravo for a very nice explanation

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Yehuda Nataf Very good observation.... Yeah I did forget to mention that.

[@ward26102]

Thanks for this video Tim. I watched other videos that indicate you can replace the screen without disassembling the top from the base. However, I could not get to those screws behind the hinges so I followed your video and it worked well. I have the 17" TouchSmart model but the parts are so similar that it worked fine.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Hey great! I'm glad the video helped.

[@vincente.1207]

Great video. It helps me to know that an HP Envy Touch digitizer glass do exist. I just can not find one for the 17.3 inch screen.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Thanks for commenting.

[@wtbm123]

Reminds me of a great big phone screen . Good job Tim

[@TimsComputerRepair]

wtbm123 Thanks Terry...

[@MyGamingThumbs]

I am going to use this great video to repair the laptop I have. Mine also had damaged hinge mounts and I fixed them using a great epoxy I found at a local home improvement store.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@tedyurkon7714]

Just have to say thanks! I would not have tried this without the video. HP service manuals don't even cover this screen, let alone digitizer replacement. I think the digitizer could have been replaced without all the dis-assembly if HP hadn't put those little screws at the base of the bezel---otherwise could have been done with the screen still in place.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Ted Yurkon Correct. You don't need to take the laptop fully apart. There was another issue we where investigating while replacing the digitizer. Thanks for watching.

[@kpdthegreat]

Thanks Tim. I was able to fix my sons envy 15-u010dx using this video.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+kpdthegreat Sounds great. Thanks for watching!

[@GodwillDemiGod]

Thanks Man. I really needed this. I'm grateful

[@peterford9369]

Hey Tim, Very, very, informative video. The reason I've been looking into the screen glass or digitizer replacement is, the rubber that protrudes out from the glass on my M7-J020DX, is dry rotting. I'm assuming. It's getting brittle and pieces are flaking off when I touch it opening or closing the laptop. The seal understand seems fine. Very rubbery and clean to the touch. So I took a hobby razor knife and gently cut away the exposed rubber that is flaking. Id hoped the screen could be removed without base removal. Watching other HP models replacement it's possible. But obviously mine is the ones that aren't easy. I guess my question is. Do you think I'm fine with it like this, being the glass and the digitizer is just fine, and the bezel seal seems good where not exposed to air? I was concerned the screen falling out. But it seems that it's actually snapped into the top cover. I don't carry the laptop around very much, it's mostly in place all the time. Anyway you do seem to answer your viewers, so id appreciate your opinion. It's an older computer I know but its working fine so I see no sense in buying anything else or even opening it up if its good to go. Anyway, thank you so much for a very good video and await an opinion. Thanks Tim ✌️

[@g8way2k1]

Well, I don't own a laptop but family does. They seem to look toward me if something goes wrong......boy, are they in trouble..LOL. I just replaced a display on a 17" Envy J-100. And I erroneously thought this would be a similar type project, but far from it. Being a little intimidated I would only try this on a laptop that I would be ready to scrap if it went sour...and how expensive would that be right? Maybe one day I might try it if the conditions and opportunity prevails. Thanks for this video!!

[@philsenzig4495]

I am new to this but this is great instructions. If my LCD screen is cracked as well is that as simple as just removing old and plugging in new 40 pin connector in?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

It's best to find a complete top assembly if you want guaranteed touch functionality.

[@migsycee]

Cheers Tim for another Great Video

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Migsy Cee Cheers Migsy thanks for watching.

[@JorgeGomez-bt9lt]

a quick question isnt there a non digiitizer option for the 15-b129wm maybe just a replacement bezel .. What I have is a partially cracked screen on mine..

[@xyzebruh1083]

Do you know why the part number or model number is for the actual LCD screen part not the clear glass screen? Trying to repair a friends laptop for him, thanks

[@RennyProudlove]

First class!

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@RennyProudlove]

A pleasure, keep up the good work!

[@domi202]

awesome job explaining I wish I had the tools and skills as I just cracked the same 15in envy glass and was quoted over $100 locally id like to have it done as well as my MacBook Air 11 in which is not touch and apple want almost the price a new book witch has a black screen do to a water splash I wonder if it'd be worth shipping from ct. any advice?

[@mr.e5988]

Very helpful Tim. Where can I buy the hinges for the lid? Mine got bent. Thanks in advance.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Try eBay or Amazon.

[@Britec09]

[@rodrigorecalde5234]

this is exactly what I needed, tysm !

[@zahidmalik2327]

Hello, would it be possible for your to advise me where about the lid switch located in HP 15-J laptop? I have purchased HP 15-J054ca, and now facing issues when closing lid. For some reason, my laptop is not going in sleep or hibernate mode. All settings in windows 8 verified fine. Please assist me to resolve this issue.

[@SimonZerafa]

Just wondering if it would be faster or easier to purchase a new front screen bezel with the digitizer (which I imagine is the expensive part) and then assemble them when they arrive? :-)

[@ChaimS]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@maulerrw]

heat a metal tray in the oven, remove and WAIT until it is cool enough to be hot but not burn you. place the broken digitiser on it and let it warm up nice and hot. the bezel will come off with little difficulty

[@rain1373]

My HP ENVY x360 - 15t-bp100 CTO digitiizer front glass panel broken into bits. Tell me a way I can fix it myself Looking for a spare, I am from Houston TX.

[@nickfiodorov6499]

Thanks for your vid. If my digitizer is cracked and I don’t mind not using the touch screen. Can I reassemble with the screen only? Also how much would it be to send it for repair

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Yes you can. You also can just disconnect the digitizer ribbon cable and that will deactivate the touch. Only thing is you will have to live with any cracks in the glass.

[@trubyon]

Nicely done Tim! Will this same process work for the HP Envy M6-P113DX Touch Screen Digitizer Glass?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Not sure but it should. Thanks for watching.

[@reneebolden3746]

you dont have to take the bottom of the laptop off, or remove the hinges. just pry and remove the bezel then the digitizer.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Yes I do mention this in the video. Thanks for watching.

[@Luis-xb7zp]

hello I have a HP sleekbook 4 1115 DX with a glass cracked screen , I have the part to replace but I need the instructional video , do you have it ?...please let me know and thanks.

[@JRMSS4]

Thanks for responding!

[@wldsmke2]

Do you have a video on replacing the glass on a touch smart 15 f125wm HP?

[@Dublekfx]

How necessary is the replacement double-sided tape for the bezel, and what size is it? I'm currently doing this repair, and got it fully disassembled before I discovered the need for the tape.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

There are severa different sizes. From 1mm all the way up to 7mm. I would purchase a 4mm and a 7mm to have at least 2 different sizes around. Very inexpensive tape.

[@ananyaray8474]

Did you forget the cmos battery intentionally to put it back ??

[@Mammod101]

Hey! Very useful video! I also want to repair the cracked screen glass of my convertible HP ENVY x360-15-W051NW. My question is whether i can use any digitizer for the x360 series or do i have to look especially for one wich is compatible with the exact model number "W051NW" ?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

I do not know the answer to that question. Thanks for watching.

[@Kevin-nw9om]

What is the part number of that part?

[@ramiroalvarengaarrieta8245]

Hey man, question, can i replace it with another glass digitalizer or it needs to be exagly hp

[@LarryPittmanTheBibleTeam]

Great video Tim! can you recommend a particular tool set or sets to accomplish this particular task? Thanks!

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Basic set of precision screw drivers, a metal spudger came in handy, plastic spudger also is handy and some sort of heat gun or hair drier. Thanks for watching.

[@LarryPittmanTheBibleTeam]

Thank you, Tim!

[@lwthowe]

On my hp envy 15 inch touchscreen (model 15tj100), I don't know what is broken. Can you tell me? The display simply fades to a white screen occasionally. Sometime I can push or squeeze the bezel along the bottom and it comes back to normal for awhile, but it doesn't stay long before fading back to a white screen. I have clamped it, which helped for awhile but isn't helping any more. Can you tell me which part I need or what to do? Thanks in advance.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

You need to replace the lcd panel.

[@sujanbhatta509]

Is this same process use to hp pavilion x360 13 inch laptop

[@johnheller2311]

Hi, I am fixing the same model, but I believe that there is only an issue with the Video cable. The image goes blank from time to time and can be fixed simply by pushing on the bottom bezel of the screen. I got a new cable off ebay and am going to swap it over. I assume I will have to remove the front glass totally off the screen to get to the cable?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

You will not have to remove the front glass to replace the cable.

[@user-on5ck1uy4l]

Hi! I got hp envy 15 notebook pc 15-k050 and i got the same problem - broken glass digitizer. So can you please tell me is this the same digitizer you used and where can i bue it? I just can't find it anywhere.. Thanx

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Sorry, I no longer provide digitizer replacement services.

[@tiagolopes7802]

The touchscreen 'module' if i can call this... is USB? or direct to the motherboard in the same wire as screen? What is the brand of screen and touch? Thanks in advanced.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Connected to the motherboard.

[@DeepState1]

Nice job

[@evanskwame8575]

hi Tim, got my envy broken, same as the one in the video. sent it for repairs but after fixing the digitizer, the screen was a bit jumpy. so i made them take it off until they can get one that works well. but i have feeling maybe we r not doing something well to keep the one we fixed steady. please advise. thank you

[@TimsComputerRepair]

I am finding that on certain models HP marries the the digitizer and the screen during assembly with some type of firmware. This means that you may have touch issues after replacing the digitizer on some models. Worse case...Just keep the digitizer unplugged and use without touch.

[@evanskwame8575]

Hi, thanks for your reply, mine is Hp envy 15 touchsmart j078ca. does that model have the issue you are describing? if yes, does it mean i will have to replace both screen and digitizer instead of just digitizer? Thanks

[@TimsComputerRepair]

I have no way of knowing which models are affected.

Why all the work Digitizer Front Glass can you just remove the Digitizer Front Glass and use the laptop as a non touch screen?

[@cachocrz]

Hi Tim. I have a question. I replaced I digitizer for an envy smart touch 15-u010dx from hp. I have a problem with the touch screen. It doesn't recognize the fingers. It has a good picture and works well with the mouse and keyboard, but doesn't do the touch part. What can you tell me?

Sounds like you need to replace the screen however I would recommend replacing the entire screen assembly that includes the screen and digitizer

[@danny2oh3]

[@johnquebec8738]

the digitizer is cracked on mine, would the laptop still work if I just remove the digitizer..

[@TimsComputerRepair]

You laptop would look terrible if you simply remove the digitizer exposing wires and components. You can simply disconnect the digitizer but that requires disassembly and you are still left with a cracked screen.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

I have the 17 inch ENVY touchsmart and I can access all of the bezel/digitizer attachments with the laptop completely assembled. It seems like if there were no problem with the hinges, you could simply skip the first steps to about 5:30, correct? The only thing holding the digitizer to the top lid is the digitizer cable so wouldn't I be able to just spudge off the digitizer with the rest of the laptop in tact (except for the battery) and then continue on replacing it?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Sam Chaney You are correct. You do not have to completely dis-assemble the laptop.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Thanks Tim! I found out for myself but now I'm having the damndest time finding the right touch glass! I even checked the model number under my battery and ordered the glass exactly for that one (17T-K000) but when I received it, it was too large. It seems I have a very rare HP touchsmart that is slightly less than 17 inches. 

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Sam Chaney Yes these digitizers can be tricky to find. Many ratt holes you can crawl down. You may have to order from China

[@EldacarBloodiesth]

where do you get that tool? (little hot air gun)

[@TimsComputerRepair]

[@skitt123]

Welp, I held the heat gun too close and melted the bezel. Do you know where I can find a replacement that I can attach the glass to? I ordered one off of eBay but although it was stated it's for an Envy M6, it didn't fit the glass, nor did it match the one I'm replacing.

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Scott Sanford I hate when that happens! When shopping for the bezel be sure to match the exact part number up. There should be a sticker on the inside of the bezel with a part number. You may have a difficult time finding a match as these HP Envy's have been a elusive bunch.

[@skitt123]

I'm not sure which number to use. This was the sticker on the bezel: www,imgur.com/hTH9iuQ Can you help me figure it out? Thanks!

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+Scott Sanford go with the hp Envy M6 bezel 6070B0660902. I am seeing that already on ebay

[@MrKhalidinoo]

Hi Tim, I have a question, can I install that digitizer on my HP Envy 15-j181nr laptop? which is originally is not a touchable laptop. Is there any chance to work?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

+MrKhalidinoo Can't say for sure. It's important to match up the exact model of the laptop with the vendor you are ordering the digitizer from. Many traps you can fall into with these digitizers.

[@MrKhalidinoo]

+TimsComputerRepair Thanks Tim

[@maulerrw]

Thanks, you helped me remove and repair one. however you DO NOT have to tear down the entire laptop. Simply removing the two outside corner screen screws near the hinges and start as if the screen is already off the laptop. This is what I did. Seriously you do not need to take the whole screen off to anyone watching. you're only giving yourself more work

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Thanks for the comment. In this particular repair there was another issue that needed to be investigated requiring a full disassemble that was not talked about in the video.. Thanks for watching.

Have you done a 15-u?

[@TimsComputerRepair]

[@5150Electronics]

Could the control chip on the monitor go bad, I have one that had one crack, but the touch was not working anymore at all, you touched one area and it might register somewhere else or not at all, after I replaced the digitizer it looked great but the touch was working exactly the same way

[@TimsComputerRepair]

Hard to say. It is always best to replace the entire top lid with screen and digitzer to guarantee proper touch functionality.

There was another issue with this laptop that needed to be investigated that required the entire laptop to be taken apart. This was not mentioned in the video. So no you do not have to take the entire laptop apart.
