How to Remove the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Battery and Kickstand

[@jimryan2212]

Completely misleading video. You cannot access the battery by simply removing the kickstand. You have to remove the screen to access anything on the inside. Removing the kickstand and removing the battery are unrelated and shouldn't be in the same video.

[@PowerbookMedic]

This video is part of a series on the disassembly of the entire surface pro 4. To remove the display you would need to watch our display removal video.

[@MedstroDotCom]

That makes no sense. This video is titled "Kickstand / Battery Removal" yet you just skip over a whole bunch of steps for removing the battery. A video called "Battery Removal" should show you how to remove the battery. This one doesn't.

[@ariez84]

I was wondering why ifixit made their instructions so much more complicated....turns out this video is 100% misleading....watched the entire video and it seemed like you remove the kickstand and then the backplate behind kickstand and the battery will be right there. NOPE! Really a dangerous video because it made it seem like a semi-easy job....but is MUCH MUCH harder than what the video shows just to change the battery.

[@Dead1ggz]

I'm sorry Jim, but the video is not misleading, you are just mistaken. It is at this point in the repair that the video starts and they have a link IN THE VIDEO saying it as such that will redirect you to the repair video leading up to that point. Don't blame the channel because you can't pay attention.

@@Dead1ggz Jim Ryan you're a hater man. Just trolling on the web. Waste man

[@pcbn2u]

You remove the hinge screws on the outside and then jumped to "now in the Inside" without showing how to get to the inside. How did you get to the inside to access those screws?

[@jacknoble107]

This video is missing a step at 57 seconds rendering it useless. How do you get the back off?

[@davefreeman8646]

I seem to be missing the part where you separate the back case from the front to reveal the battery. At want point in the video do you show this part?

[@PowerbookMedic]

+Dave Freeman - There is a link in the video or you can see our other videos.

[@derekolenick5790]

I was thinking the exact same thing. wtf?

[@PowerbookMedic]

See our other videos to show the prior steps. This take apart is a series of videos.

[@videoboy11111]

You gotta be kidding me right. DIdn't know this is a 2 part video until someone asks you in the comment. Now I removed my kickstand and not able to reinstall it because I don't have a heat source...

[@adrianstealth340]

Does anyone know where we can get replacement battery for the surface pro 4 (for the future out of warranty situation etc )

[@charlesriley16]

I seem to be missing the part as to why you would want to remove the battery, and not have any instruction on how to fi a new one?If it is difficult to fit a new one, why the hell upload a video showing how to remove the original battery?Am I right in thinking MS charge 400 for replacement batteries?

[@GingerNingerGames]

Well if you're like me and need to fix the cable that runs UNDER the battery, it's good to know.

[@lostunsunghero]

just do the steps in reverse, does it really need a whole video?

[@teoramusicschool]

You should name this video like "How to Take Apart the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Part 2"

[@couronne100]

You made a giant leap bro xD

[@Eleni_Be]

apart from having 2 parts, this video shows the removal of the kickstand because the actual back of the surface pro to which the battery is glued inside has to be heat-gunned pretty hefty to losen the glue. that's where the kickstand is hindering the heat up process as it's a second layer which doesn't need heating up.

[@bigrollin]

what if the hinges are broke are they easy to repair or replace? is hard to adhere the 2 plastic pieces in the middle also?

How to Destroy your surface pro

[@ertugrulcoskun9896]

i am not an technician but i can change the all hardware of the laptops and desktops.. my surface pro has problem with batery. it doesnt charge sometimes and battery finish while it is off and i thoguht that i must change the battery so i found this video. after i watch this video i decided to use my surface as it is :)

[@edimadigabi7112]

Missing a lot of steps. Not sure if there’s a reason for the omission, but if not it would be really amazing if you can show the whole process step by step.

[@PowerbookMedic]

This is a two part video, for the first part and full take apart of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 check out Part 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGiXgZaVodqGfas

[@andreyandrey2645]

put some wd40 on those tools, dissolves the glue on contact and does not damage anything

[@johnm5169]

Hey this helped me 2 years later thanks

[@BuildBreakFix]

Lol they jump from the kick stand to removing the battery lololololol the two have zero in common! They kind of missed the 3 hour long process of ripping the screen out first lolololol

[@steveshaw1463]

DO NOT remove kickstand if your goal is to replace battery. The two have nothing to do with each other.

[@joshuamason6414]

Never use a metal tool to remove a battery... that's how fires start.

[@8mir]

Why the company not make the replasemnet really eassy

[@sackfullofrocks4292]

why would they? if i make a product, and i can spend less money on manufacturing by making the device front loaded, Then I just 1. saved money and 2.took away the consumers ability to work on this at home, meaning they HAVE to bring it to me to fix if it breaks, so i make more money. it sucks, but making things easy for consumers to repair themselves isnt in the best interest of the companys profit. they SHOULD do these things but why would they, if profit is the goal?

[@planna17]

missing the part where you separate the back case

[@PowerbookMedic]

This is a two part video. The first part can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGiXgZaVodqGfas

[@CarloTheImmortal]

To clarify if you wanna replace the hinge in most surfaces youd have to remove the screen right

[@AeroAngle]

if u send it to Microsoft how much does it cost for them to repair it?

[@Market_Engineer514]

400$

[@kevbow3061]

how does the back cover come off.

[@PowerbookMedic]

kev bow This video has two parts. Part one shows how to remove it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGiXgZaVodqGfas

[@kami60077]

Misleading video, you have to remove screen first.

[@PowerbookMedic]

Kamran Malik This is a video only to remove the battery and kickstand. The link to part one of this video is in the description.

[@LiquidSnake1988]

what about SSD only??

[@GingerNingerGames]

The fact that the keyboard connector ribbon runs under the battery infuriates me to no end because that and the screen are busted on my surface. Guess I'm not doing this fix myself, Might just back it up and send it to microsoft.

[@marese2fly]

does the surface pro have cmos battery i need to remove bios password and reinstall windows

[@laurensama6690]

Marese W good job stealing someone's surface lol

[@laserquant]

Who has glued the battery so hard to the surface? And why?

[@Kevergy5]

Should have paid attention to the scores on this video before I bought a battery and started taking my kickstand off.

[@danielbaldeon628]

Completely false, you have to remove the Display first. why you are not explain this part. I was buy a new battery and now I have to remove the LCD. I hope will be not broken. :(

[@PowerbookMedic]

This is a two part video, and you are just watching the 2nd part of the video. The first part can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGiXgZaVodqGfas

[@ThePlugTurtle]

anyone else find their kickstand is wobbling when opened fully or nearly closed?

[@DannyMNable]

+ThePlugTurtle I thought I was alone on this... I have the exact same behaviour. I'm not sure if it happens to all gadgets or its a defect.

[@schwi3410]

You should not use metal , it can damage your battery cover and cause fire .

[@GovernmentNon-TerrestrialTechR]

How you just gonna skip a whole step??? How you remove to get to the inside???

Video incompleto!

[@mauriziobrandi4229]

dangerous and incomplete video. It makes dismantling look simple when it's not really that way

[@qhdevon43]

yelp...time to flag this video as misleading...if your viewers are saying its misleading...then ITS MISLEADING!!!

[@smitaaay]

Good vid. Thanks for showing this. =)

[@steveshaw1463]

Worthless. Omits the three hours of careful work required to unseal the display and remove heat sink, motherboard, and attachments, so you can get at the battery connector.

[@jtdodgeutube]

Wth is up with the magical steps you skipped?

[@STINKY10306]

This video is worthless. Very misleading

[@firubbi]

This is really pathetic... nonsense.. its like windows vista is back kind a thing..

[@andyrbush]

So annoying to have a mistitled video and waste our time

[@timmusician5060]

You skipped a BUNCH of steps

[@paulrichard7184]

misleading video.
