HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 Display Replacement

Introduction

Is your HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 screen not turning on, or the display is shattered? If so, here is a guide to fix the problem by replacing the faulty display.

Before taking any part of the computer apart, please remember to power down your computer and unplug the power cable from any power source. Failure to do so could harm yourself or the computer, so these precautions must be taken. Also, when replacing a screen display, there is a chance that the glass could shatter. Please take precautions for the glass.

In order to remove the bezel from the display, the iOpener tool is used. To learn how to use the iOpener, follow the instructions here: iOpener Instructions.
