Introduction

The HP Pavilion x360 m3-u101dx display is what allows the user to see and interact with the laptop. This display works as a touch screen as well, allowing for hand gestures and direct interaction with what is on the screen. A broken or malfunctioning display might show unusual colors on screen, not register touchscreen input, have visible cracks on it, or spots where nothing appears on it. Often, the display will not show anything or flicker on and off.

When removing a display, be very careful as it is made of glass, especially if the display is shattered or cracked. The sharp edges of glass can cut, so proceed with caution and consider following these instructions when dealing with a cracked screen.
