HP EliteBook 8460P CPU and GPU Re-Paste Guide.

[Mr.Mischief]

Could you start a new thread on this? I have an 8460w and the screen quality is abysmal (900p). I really want to go to an IPS display on this notebook.

Thanks!

Why? I have a separate post for screen upgrades on the first page.

Isn't there a way to cut the screen somehow?

Not really. The only screen I know of that might fit is the HP Envy 14 radiance screen. But, they cost like $250.

Screen Upgrade!

I ordered an LP140WD1-TLA1 led screen. When it arrived I opened my 8460 up and started installing the new screen. Unfortunately, the replacement screen is the wrong size. Apparently, HP uses a slimmer, smaller screen for the 8460 series. The replacement screen, which is standard 14" size, is 3/16" thick. THe stock HP screen is 2/16" thick. As you can see from the pictures below, the power board is little different as well. So far, the only screen that I can find, that looks the same as the stock screen is the B140RW02 V.1. From a review I read, I believe that is the stock screen.

Although it didn't fit, the replacement screen was much better than the stock screen.

Which screen do you currently have in your 8460p?

[excalibur1814]

The standard screen 1366x768

Ah, Ok. I'm not sure if HP ships those with the high-res display cable? I'm not sure where to find one either.

I could probably try to get the cable from HP parts but it's ok as I've grabbed myself an 8460p with the 1600x900 screen WOooo! Also thinking of throwing in a quad if I can get one for a good price.
