Surface Pro 5 6 Model 1796 Screen Replacement | Surface Pro Restoration

[@jasonbrogdon1]

Nice! I came here for the cable swap and you showed it brilliantly!

[@michaels2480]

Thanks for a clear, straightforward video. You made it look easy enough for me to try. Thanks again. :)

[@dbayev]

Great guide, helped me to replace the screen on my Surface 6; thank you

[@djneo92nl]

Love that this the full process, a lot of video's just do the taking of the old screen

[@gtsc]

TQ so much for the video, help me a lot in replacing the broken hinge. The screen is crazy glue tight. Takes a lot of patience and heating.

[@TuanAnhTPBQ]

Be super careful around the cable corner. You can easily damage the flex cables even if you nick them just a little bit, especially the touch cable.

[@brentsilverwood7481]

Excellent video and close ups. Thank you for sharing.

[@stephenasmith3011]

You’re awesome! Thank you for the video

[@TheFixTech]

This is a straight forward repair, please let me know if you have any questions regarding this repair.

[@mrs.maddya8686]

How much would you charge for a repair for cracked screen

[@Pierino1976]

I keep reading that replacing the screen on the Surface is extremely difficult and often leads to other problems but you made it look pretty easy and straight forward...Can you confirm it shoudln't be too difficult for someone with experience replacing smartphone displays (i.e. iphone displays)? Thanks in advance

[@tonstertv9574]

@5:23 Keep in mind to be very careful when lifting the screen in order not to tear the paperthin connection cables

[@fazegregpaul3152]

Thank you so much, your video was very helpful .

[@kevinkylo9297]

you all prolly dont care but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

@Kevin Kylo instablaster =)

[@kevinkylo9297]

@Grant Brandon I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kevinkylo9297]

@Grant Brandon it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@grantbrandon9060]

@Kevin Kylo Happy to help =)

[@Mcmalliss]

Had an unbroken screen but needed to replace the touch controller inside, started from the right speaker, heated it up, started with pry tool, now i have a shattered screen and no touch 😂 i give up, it can go in the trash haha

[@JPaulston]

10:16 what are the copper plates on the top? That was where my screen was cracked and they came off with the adhesive while removing the glass…

[@TheFixTech]

Those are usually the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas

[@JPaulston]

@@TheFixTech yup, figured it out already but thank you! Tested Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and even though I basically tore them off everything is still working! I was surprised but felt confident enough to glue down the screen and move on… hope it continues to work or I’ll be doing this whole job again!

[@btcyp909]

@@JPaulstonHey, does it still work? :D

[@JPaulston]

No, the Wi-Fi failed after a couple weeks. Needed to use it in a dock… ended up getting a new 9

[@btcyp909]

@@JPaulston Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. The display on my Surface Pro is damaged and I'm planning to try replacing it myself. But I don't know if that will help, because you can now get it used very cheaply. And I don't know whether I'll be able to open it properly and replace it.

[@rickacton7540]

what temperature are you using on the heat gun

[@paulkim2693]

6:24 I am trying to use another 1796 screen from another surface. Do I need to transfer the cables from the old screen ? Or can I just use another as-is cable attached screen from the other surface?

[@jaulloa21]

I’m buying just the glass screen since the digitizer still works. So it’s the same process? Just swap out broken glass screen from digitizer and replace with the new? Thanks

[@ashtingdmn]

Does the surface pro 5 have an storage device like an ssd...I have it open but doesnt see it

[@yurishepherd91]

Kinda screwed up the adhesive-during removal- any suggestions for replacement adhesive?

[@alb673]

Nice video. just got a pro5 off ebay. and realised the top of the screen just under the camera, is not responsive. Cannot select tabs or minimise window. Quite annoying.

[@giovannimorales2644]

Hello my friend, do you have any idea why ¿if i change the screen for a new one the touch area test doesn't function? What can i do? thank you! Best regards.

[@martinljubic84]

You should wear gloves for a bit of insulation against the heat gun, and you should be sticking in plastic strips as the blade initially separates the screen from the tablet shell. You can chop up those cheap plastic food containers into small plastic strips. Still, you did a great job!!

[@plamenkaraivanov4418]

Hello thank you for this video ! It’s very helpful ! Can you tell me from where I can order the screen ? Thank you in advance !

[@TheFixTech]

I buy from reputable local sellers on ebay

[@plamenkaraivanov4418]

@@TheFixTech how is the quality?

[@mohammedmohammedsaeed9547]

Can you please share the link to the eBay page that you bought the screen from?

[@bfdmod]

MobileSentrix is where I get them. They even come with new adhesive pre installed

[@yogiariansyah1533]

is this the original LCD? where can i buy original lcd?

[@TooGumbica]

I have surface pro 6 1796, do i need to buy LCD screen for ''Microsoft Surface Pro 5 1796 '' or ''Microsoft Surface Pro 6 1807''. I cant find my model any where to buy.

[@TheFixTech]

They both will work, same screen for late model pro 4,5 and 6

[@TooGumbica]

@@TheFixTech I have bought 1796, and im happy to tell you, it working as new 🙏

[@shengliu_uq]

Is your plastic tool melting?

[@TheFixTech]

Yes it is

[@radiomaster200]

What does the green tape around the camera do? I might have slit it a bit Edit: I had no choice to rip a good junk of them, the glue did not want to separate from the green tape

[@haiatmuhrz7770]

❤❤❤

[@JPaulston]

It wasn’t too difficult, the antenna was damaged on mine to begin with…

[@didee5706]

Is there a difference with ordering a new screen for surface pro 6 1796, I was told they couldn't quote me until they take off the screen to see if there are 30 or 40 points inside (something to do with charging), I have never heard this before.

[@TheFixTech]

The 1796 screens are all the same for the 5th and 6th gens. Some 4th gen used the 5/6 screens. That is probably what they are referring.

[@carsonhenderson]

so quiet?

[@christianreber3153]

please also show my Chanel i use plastic film from demage Laptop Screen. it es perfect. Do not use this glue because it is difficult to open again. I also had made video about this

[@joeybassbass]

After swapping the screen out, the new screen has no touch response. I tried 2 different parts. Any ideas what may cause this?

[@jeremybrown6894]

The cable isn't in all the way.

[@Barb97406]

stop gluing back screen.........
