HP Mini 210-1010ej Screen fucked up.

[snowcrush]

Hey, 3 months ago i dropped the netbook and now the screen shows just lines, while the computer works perfectly (via another screen). Here's some images:

Here's a closeup:

While it works perfectly on tv screen (PC Monitor has no VGA):

Well, what i'm meaning to ask, can you see from these lines, is the monitor messed up, or its just the cables got disconnected while it hit the floor (Cables from motherboard to monitor)?

Thanks for anybody who will help me

Hello Snowcrush;

A data cable disconnection would show a lighted, but blank screen.
The LCD screen backlight is working normally.

That looks like internal damage to the LCD screen matrix to me.
Afraid it's going to need a replacement LCD screen.

 

[snowcrush]

Well if then :<, i cant manage to find a replacement LCD for my model... Do you have any ideas where to find one? (And i heard some models have the screen connector at a other side).

Thanks, by the way

 

[WR2]

Have you talked with HP yet? Can't imagine they couldn't find a replacement for you.

 

[snowcrush]

Well, how much a replacement from HP themselves will cost do you think? Saw some replacements for other models for like 250$

 

[WR2]

See if the aftermarket guys can find one for you: http/www.laptopscreen.com

Oh, awesome, they have some of these, Now, the original screen that comes with the netbook is matte, right? and are these screens good (as better/worst then the originals?)

And i also need new plastic that covers the screen (Forgot the name..., i mean the piece with the webcam on it...)

I would guess that's a quote for non-warranty repair which would include the part and the cost of the labor.

I would have thought your original screen was glossy. Check the specs from HP.

And it's the screen bezel that surrounds the LCD and has the camera cutout.

HP Mini 210-1010EJ PC Product Specifications

Display 25.6 cm (10.1") Diagonal WSVGA LED Anti-glare Widescreen Display (1024 x 600)
It's a matte screen.

 

[snowcrush]

There's actually Zero reflection, so i'd say its matte.


well, i also need a new screen bezel, and has no idea where to find it, are the screen bezels of all the HP 210'S the same?

You'll have to look up the part number either order it yourself or find someone to order it for you.

There's a very good chance the part number you need is actually on the bezel of your Mini.

 

[snowcrush]

Yeah, i just got the bezel out, checking it right now.

 

[WR2]

Don't be surprised if you need a bright light and a magnifying glass to find it / read it.

 

[WR2]

Usually, if there are more than one part number, the part number catalog will list them all.
You just need to find the one that matches your part number.

Jesus christ, 80 dollars for the bezel and the front part... HELL IM STAYING WITH MY OLD ONE . May be alot of scratches, but that's better then 80 dollars.

Well, thanks, now i dont know which reply to choose for best answer, they're all helpful!

Some glue will fix it all up...

New screen, 250$.... lol...

I took one of these in for repair not long ago and it turned into a disaster. There's not much holding everything inside the lid together except sticky tape and the tiny screen connector is impossible to fit unless you have the little Korean fingers that put the original together.

When finally got it connected, I was aware of a stinging sensation in a finger that was holding the back of the lid together then the wiring loom caught fire and I had to buy another netbook for my customer. Fortunately, there was a cheapie on e-Bay and I have the old one for spares if anyone's interested. The supplier took the "new" screen back without argument so he may have realised it wasn't the right one - there was a difference in part numbers on the back.

I have solemnly vowed to stay out of the insides of netbook lids from that time on.
