Microsoft Surface 2 Volume Control Replacement

Begin by using a heat gun or the iOpener (This will take longer.) to melt the adhesive all around the outer edge of the screen.

Insert the opening picks just under the screen and black edging. Be sure to place them evenly on each side.

Using the gap created by the picks, slowly pry the screen from the body of the Microsoft Surface 2 with a plastic opening tool. Pry as uniformly as possible.

Use a plastic spudger to pry the retaining clip away from the display cable.

Carefully pull the ribbon cable from its socket on the motherboard.

Remove ten 3.45 mm T3 screws from the corners of the black plastic bezel.

Remove the remaining seventeen 4.4 mm T5 screws from the perimeter of the bezel.

Once all screws have been removed, lift and remove the bezel from the rest of the device.

Gently peel off the yellow plastic tape using a pair of tweezers.

Remove the two 1.70 mm T3 screws from the volume control switch.

Use a spudger to lift up the retaining flap on the volume control cable ZIF connector.

Now that the volume control switch is loose, pull it gently away from the motherboard.
