đź’» HP ProBook 455 G9 Bezel Replacement: A Quick Fix for a Common Laptop Issue
The HP ProBook 455 G9 is a reliable business-class laptop with solid build quality and performance. However, even the most durable laptops aren't immune to wear and tear—especially when it comes to the screen bezel, the plastic frame that surrounds your display.
If your laptop’s bezel is cracked, loose, or completely detached, it’s more than just a cosmetic problem—it can lead to deeper issues like screen flex, exposed internal components, or hinge misalignment.
Here’s everything you need to know about replacing the bezel on an HP ProBook 455 G9.
đź› What Is a Laptop Bezel and Why It Matters
The screen bezel helps:
Hold the display panel firmly in place
Protect the internal screen circuitry and webcam
Support hinge movement when opening and closing the lid
When damaged, a faulty bezel can:
Interfere with closing the lid
Expose wires or the webcam module
Put extra stress on screen hinges and risk deeper damage
🔍 Signs Your HP ProBook 455 G9 Bezel Needs Replacement
Visible cracks or chips around the screen frame
Gap between screen and bezel
Bezel lifting at corners or near hinge area
Difficulty closing the lid or strange creaking sounds
Loose webcam cover or exposed hinge mounts
🔧 How We Replace the Bezel (Step-by-Step)
⚠️ Caution: Bezel replacement requires care to avoid damaging the screen or internal parts. At Gary’s Computer Repair, we use specialized tools and experience to handle it safely.
1. Power Down & Remove Battery
Safety first. We turn off the laptop, disconnect power, and remove the battery if accessible.
2. Loosen the Old Bezel
Using a plastic pry tool, we gently work around the edges to pop out the bezel clips. For the HP ProBook 455 G9, this includes:
Carefully disengaging clips around the webcam
Ensuring the bezel separates cleanly without snapping corners
3. Inspect for Hinge or Screen Damage
Often, a cracked bezel is caused by stress from loose hinges. We check hinge mounts and screen seating before installing the new bezel.
4. Install New OEM Bezel
We align and snap in a brand-new OEM or manufacturer-matched bezel for perfect fit. Adhesive or corner reinforcements are added if needed.
5. Test Functionality
We test hinge movement, webcam alignment, and overall screen enclosure integrity.
