Frequently asked questions

Will this cable work with the touchscreen version of the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-CX?

No, touchscreen variants use a wider cable with more wires. Non-touch only.

How do I know it's really the cable?

Slowly open and close the lid. If the image changes, the cable is the likely cause.

Do I need new adhesive?

Not always. The original tape usually still sticks; otherwise add a strip of double-sided tape.
