HP EliteBook 845 G8: Security Privacy replacement of screen

Thu, 21 May 2026 13:43:53 -0700

My screen came with the "Security Privacy" option on this HP 845 G8. The touch screen function is disabled. By design, I've never liked the viewing angles that it forces on the user. Now that I don't require the privacy screen nearly as much in my work, is it possible to change this screen out for a "standard" and/or "touch screen" version? This might be better asked of HP. Otherwise all is working just fine but just am curious to know what my options are.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't see a "HID - compliant touch screen" entry in Device manager. I don't believe the "Privacy Screen" function is integrated into a "touch screen" on this HP Notebook. This would then suggest that if I was to replace my screen there would have to be two different models for me to choose from.

Can anyone confirm this? What are the part #'s of each ?

Thanks for helping out.

Thanks for any help

Chuck

HP EliteBook 845 G8: The laptop screen is not turning on.

The Caps Lock light is blinking 7 times, and the adapter light stays on what's the problem in motherboard or bios. askIFixitQuestion | device="HP EliteBook 845 G8" | title="Caps Lock blinks 7 times, screen won't turn on, charging light is on" | text="My HP EliteBook 845 G8 is not turning on. The screen remains black, the charger light stays on, and the Caps Lock key blinks 7 times. I have already consulted a technician who has been trying to fix it all day without success. We have likely checked basic RAM issues and hard resets. Could this be a corrupted BIOS that needs external flashing, an EC (Embedded Controller) failure, or a more serious motherboard/CPU issue? Any specific guidance for this model would be greatly appreciated." }}

HP Elitebook x360 1030 G8: How to replace display hinges?

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:35:20 -0700

I currently daily drive an HP elitebook 1030 g8, and have recently noticed that he hinges have seriously deteriorated! To the point where several angles beyond 150 degrees will cause the display to fall flat.

I have 2 other systems that may provide me with the parts to solve this issue:

Elitebook 1030 g4
Elitebook 830 g8

If either of these are suitable for a replacement, and you know the method to engage this process please help!
I also do need directions on how to execute this repair because little/no repair material is available online.

Thanks for the support!
