I always research a bit before I tear into something to see if there is anything I can learn from others who have already made the mistakes I’d make.  One thing about HP’s engineering team is that they don’t mind making you have to remove both the keyboard and top of the body of the laptop simply to get to the two screws on the bottom of the bezel that are almost inaccessible otherwise.  They are located to the left and right of the two silver hinges and covered up by a black sticker.  This guy here points out how to remove the two phillips screws with a flat screwdriver without having to remove the keyboard and top cover (and all the ribbon cables included).  Remove the stickers by using a pointed knife.  I used an x-acto knife.  Now you can use a small flat screwdriver to unscrew the phillips screws by slipping the screwdriver tip into the head of the screw at and angle and turning the screw by rotating the entire screwdriver (like if it was an allen wrench):

Once you remove both the right and left screws at the bottom of the bezel, pry the inside edge of the bezel away from the screen with your fingertips:

The bezel will snap loose.  You’ll have to work your way all the way around:

Working my way around the top:

One thing to note is that you’ll want to open the screen all the way up to get the bezel to come off.

Now that the bezel is off we need to remove the LCD from the frame.  First, remove the top two screws that hold the LCD to the frame and then, second, loosen, note: only loosen them, the eight screws marked at the bottom of the LCD:

 

By loosening those screws you can remove the LCD without removing the whole frame as well.  Now you can lean out the top of the display and remove the 4 screws that hold the LCD in the frame.  I forgot to take a picture before I removed the screws but here are where they are located:

Rotate the LCD down (as if you were closing the display), being aware of the LCD ribbon cable that is attached to the back of the LCD towards the bottom.  The cable is held into place by clear tape.  Be careful not to put too much pressure on the connector.  You do not need to remove the tape completely.  Simply peel up the part that is on the LCD but leave it on the actual ribbon.  The cable slides straight out (there are no switches or anything that need to be flipped before you can take it out).  Slide the ribbon straight out (parallel with the back of the display).

Lifting up the clear tape that holds the LCD ribbon in place

Now put the display back in the frame. Install the 4 screws that hold the LCD into the frame.  At this point you may want to fire up the computer just to make sure the ribbon is connected ok before you put it all back together:

Back in business!

Now, tighten the 8 screws on the bottom by the hinges and then snap the bezel back together.  Be careful not to put too much pressure on the LCD itself but you will probably need to use a bit of pressure to snap it back together.  Listen for the thing to pop so you know it is snapped together all the way around.  Finally reinstall the 2 screws in the bottom of the bezel.  They were a bit tricky to get started so you’ll have to play around with them.
