his / her / ?

If we're talking about a man, we say 'his' example: his picture. If we're talking about a woman, we say 'her' example: her picture. Now if we're talking about a thing, what we have to say? let's say we're talking about a laptop's screen. This is my HP laptop, change his screen please. We must replace 'His' with what? Hope my question is clear.. Thank you in advance!

Please don't make the common mistake of writing "it's" for the neutral possessive. the possessive, as Clive has said, is "its." "It's" is a contraction for "it is." This is a mistake very often made by native speakers!

That's true for subjects, but the question was about possessive -- his, her/hers, its.

His book -- the book is his.
Her book -- the book is hers.

The cover of this book is torn. Its cover is torn.
