They were anti repair and always will.

[@DJTechYT]

Explore Gadgets that's because it's the original and it's sort of a public beta. Apple doesn't know what the costumers want so they just made something that works and listen to what the costumers want. Take a look at iPhone 4-6S, the screen/back pops out with the removal of only two screws (same for iPhones today but there's glue now and many different types of screws). You don't lose any features of you replace parts of these iPhones. Macs before 2012 are also easily upgradable. You just need to remove some screws (or twist the bottom of the Mac mini) and you can easily upgrade RAM and storage. You can even upgrade the CPU and GPU in the iMacs (the front glass is held by magnets that are strong, but not insanely strong. You can easily get it off with a plastic card). Then Apple f-cked everything up by soldering everything to the board.

I would love to replace the battery on our old Surface pro 3, but I don’t have the courage (or skill) to remove the display! Thanks for another great video.

For the adhesive removal, use a "caramel wheel" or automotive pin stripe removal tool. Works great on that type of adhesives which usually see on car badges.

[@eyepauper]

Wow, that's such a good call! Also, doesn't that adhesive look like RTV?

In regards to removing the adhesive, try a razor blade. Worked great for me on ipads. You just run it down the side and take off most of the adhesive in one go. Don't use it on the non metal parts though.

I took mines apart recently and yes, that glue was strange. I did leave it in place so I could tack the screen back onto that sticky tar-like surface. It holds quite well, but is able to be pulled off carefully. Leaving it like that till I need a new battery. At that time I'll use repair tape to remount the screen. Awesome videos.

The surface isn't really repairable. In 90% of the cases you'll break your panel while removing it. And inside only the ssd is changeble and maybe the battery. An iPhone can be at least opened without completely destroying it.

The 'gap' you noticed while dissasembling was most likely caused by battery swelling, pushing the screen out of the chassis. Same thing happened to my SP4 (albeit much worse), other SP4 owners will have experienced the same thing too.

[@1217257]

Yeah, it’s okay to mess around anything with connected battery.

[@dotmiracle]

1217257 yeah, I mean, that was a bit...

[@feebturkey]

It'd make more sense to leave it connected and being cautious considering that disconnecting the battery requires him to take out literally everything else, including the motherboard (which could be shorted out if you try to take it out).

[@1217257]

Kyan I might be wrong but there’s a higher chance to short when you are connecting cables with many pins to the socket. You just can’t do this with single movement. I’ve killed my iPhone 5 motherboard doing this, maybe just a bad luck, but I’ve learnt my lesson😀

[@feebturkey]

1217257 There is a high chance but the way the surface battery connects is with a pad that uses the motherboard’s pressure when connected to the case to make contact, so to disconnect the battery to prevent shorts, he’d have to remove everything from the housing which has the potential for shorting something out doing that.

[@1217257]

Kyan didn’t know that:( we’ll, I hope Microsoft do better now with their new surface machines

[@_________________404]

Also the orginal or "same as orignal" adhesive can be bought on aliexpress. It's either the original or a laser-cut adhesive which is cut the same way as the original. Aliexpress is probably the best place where you can find most of the surface pro parts even like the wifi antena, LG screen or the battery.

The original battery was bulging which at least made the screen removal very easy, since it was already popped out in places, due to the bulging battery. Cheers.

I'm sure someone has pointed it out before, but they make heating pads for reptile enclosures that I've found help a LOT when trying to loosen glue, since it only actually heats up to about 10 degrees above ambient, it's also pretty handy to use before using a hot air station on it. just put it on the pad and come back to it an hour later.

[@jonnypetrie1008]

After lots of research and doing this myself, here's a few points to note, 1. If you have to replace the screen do not get an original Samsung screen. These are prone to failure due to overheating the connection. LG is the way to go, as as per the video go for the SP5 screen 2. You should replace the thermal paste. The old stuff will be dry and useless 3. A new battery is £30, so just replace that as well. 4. The touch L shaped board needs to have good contact with the screen for earthing. The original is attached with conductive paste. So I'd get conductive glue to hold it down to the new screen. 5. Take your time removing the screen. I can easily take up to an hour. I use playing cards, heat and alcohol and work my way round. 6. Take care when removing the screen at the top. The antennas are there and easily destroyed. You can get a new one from AliExpress for I think £15 if you do break it, or I've seen folk just using tinfoil.

[@pierdaponte]

If you like to live dangerously like me, I've found a chisel-tip razor / craft knife helps immensely for removing tough adhesives from devices like the Surface series. The issue is the inherent roughness of the metal its adhered to. More surface area from all of the microscopic bumps and etches in the metal give that already strong adhesive more to bond and cling to.

[@kito1san]

If you have a surface pro 4, it's about the time where it's scheduled to replace the screen. Flicker gate and an expanding failing battery. Both items has it's hardware failure that causes the time to replace to occur. I would recommend if you are replacing your battery, just replace the following: 1. Battery --> and some specialized double side tape. 2. Screen --> get the sp5 version with the new cable to work with sp4 motherboard. (getting the sp4 screen will give you the same problem down the road). 3. Bigger hard drive SSD (get a new one if you can afford it as this would be a perfect time, largest installed so far is 2 TB ssd m.2 evo). 4. CPU Thermal Grease (if you are going to clean out the fan, which at this time around should be clogged with lint). ** The only down side is the memory is welded down and can't be upgraded. Unless someone knows how to solder or I won't attempt to do this upgrade. Suggestion: I would not glue down the screen more than needed to or just enough to hold the screen down. Since you know there is some maintenance bound to occur in this machine. This will it will be more easily accessible.

[@camsmith1519]

For removing the adhesive I'd use a sharpened metal spudger. Wrap some sandpaper around a block of wood and use it to sharpen each side. Works a treat!

[@sweetpeachnectar]

[@RickinICT]

I wonder if his Surface Pro was factory refurbished already, and that's how it wound up with the next gen's screen. There were a lot of problems with the original Pro 4 screens and Microsoft got stuck doing a lot of replacements with refurbished units under warranty. I wouldn't be surprised if they were refurbishing the returns with the next generations screens to send back out as replacements for the bad ones. That would explain why his unit had a screen that the Pro 4's weren't supposed to have. A lot of people wound up returning multiple replacements for the same screen problem. Microsoft probably eventually said "screw this, start replacing the bad Pro 4 warranty return screens with the Pro 5 screens before sending them out as refurbs." The damage to the unit in this video looks like it was physical damage rather than the type of damage that plagued the original screens.

[@designwithphoenix]

as someone who has worked at a computer store repairing devices. I will definitely say that the surface computer is very difficult to repair this requires a lot of experience. and I will also say that this is a very difficult device to repair especially if the glass is shattered because if the glass of the panel is completely shattered it will take you 10 times longer and to be able to work on one of these because of Microsoft's glue being so damn strong. and I also too had the same problem with the LG/ Samsung display problem with the mix-up with the weird cable problem that he had. not to mention if you are working on one of these he made it look super easy but you do need a lot of heat to be able to pry off the display because also up where the webcam is on the tablet at the top of where the display is Guess what Microsoft did they put the Wi-Fi antennas at the top of the display so if you're prying off the glass of the display you are also damaging your Wi-Fi antennas completely. like we're talking about completely ripping the antenna cable so terribly that you get worse Wi-Fi performance once you're done not even joking. I'm surprised he didn't even have that trouble!. I have done 4, 5, and 6 and even 7 surface pro repairs I did one of each model and after a while we just quit doing screen repairs. because of the glue being so terrible to work on and also damaging the antennas.

To remove the strange adhesive you can try with Some "Avio" solvent, if I find the bottle i will tell you the correct composition. You have to be super careful thought to not spill it on the screen because he can melt also the screen glue. The correct procedure is made with an irrigation needle (0.6~0.7 mm) and a syringe so you can dose it perfectly
