HP iPAQ hx4700 series Pocket PC
Disassembly, Screen Removal & Repair
Guide
I have used my
Hewlett-Packard
Pocket PC for
about a year and a
half without any
problems, until I
was faced with a
very sad surprise
one day. The
screen was dead. I
still have no idea
how that might
happen: my iPAQ
has a screen
protector, and,
moreover, I always
carried it in a small
case.
As I was not sure
whether my iPAQ
was still under
warranty or not
and I had no idea
how long it may
take to repair a
pocket PC in
Adelaide or how
much it may cost, I
decided to repair it
myself. I bought a new iPAQ hx4700 LCD screen from eBay (it
cost 70 AUD, and there were a T6 screwdriver and a case opener
tool in the kit). Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good
instructions for disassembling an HP iPAQ 4700 (or any other HP
PDA 47xx series) on the Internet, so it took a bit more time to
me to discover how to replace the broken LCD screen. I have
made the following instruction in case it would help someone
else. However, please note that I'm not responsible for any
damage caused to yourself or your unit by using the following
instructions.
1
You need a crosshead screwdriver, torx T6 screwdriver, and a
case opener tool (or something like that).

Unplug all devices, remove all SD/MMC cards.

Take the battery off, and remove the 4 screws on the back of the
unit using the T6 screwdriver.

Take the plastic corner off.
5
With all 4 screws removed you can take off the back cover. It is
clipped on, so it might be hard to remove. In this case use the
case opener tool: slide the tool all the way around the case and
releasing the plastic tabs.
6
Detach the two ribbon cables. To do this, release the tabs on
each connector. The smaller ribbon connector has a tab, which
should be picked and pulled upward. The larger connector has a
tab (dark brown in the photo) which shoud be picked on its
ribbon side and opened for up to a 45 degree angle (like a small
door). Once the tab is lifted up, you can now slide the ribbon
cable out. Be very careful, the connectors are extremely
fragile and can be easily damaged! Then remove a small
crosshead screw in the other angle of the unit.
