HP EliteBook 845 G8: Security Privacy replacement of screen

Sat, 16 May 2026 22:30:05 -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.

Thanks for any help

Chuck

HP Envy x360 15-cn0000: Loose USB-C charge receptacles

Sun, 10 May 2026 15:57:46 -0700

Both USB-C side-by-side charging ports will charge laptop only if wiggled, and no power light next to ports. Need part number, and whether this is a pluggable part, or requires soldering. Thank you! A part picture would be handy.

Found that even though connector seemed fully inserted, it was not. Cleaned receptacle with narrow, stiff brush, and contact cleaner several times ...it is now charging again.
