Repair Guide 

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. 

You need a crosshead screwdriver, torx T6 screwdriver, and a 
case opener tool (or something like that).
