This worked pretty much exactly as described; was a fairly straightforward procedure. Just have to be super-careful with those ribbon cables - they’re pretty delicate!

This is the easy one. Please do one for the HP Officejet Pro 8610. How the !&&* do you remove the led panel. It’s maddening!

Now if only I could find a replacement panel that I can trust! Any suggestions on where to buy the part?

I’ve two of these printers and the screen is shot on both of them. Very frustrating that replacement screens aren’t available. Almost looks like a planned failure????
