Things to know before you dive in:
- This repair is very challenging. Unless you are very confident in your DIY skills, it may be a better option to take it to a professional, or maybe even... Microsoft.
- Be sure to replace the screen with the correct version. Most devices are stock with the V1.1 screen/digitizer. If you are replacing the screen/digitizer with the wrong version, your results may vary.
- It is imperative to make sure the metal casing is not bent. If your metal casing is even slightly bent, your new screen will not fit because the tolerances are very tight. Carefully bend it back or take it to a professional.

To remove the display, first soften the adhesive by applying heat. You can use a heat pad, heat gun, or iOpener. In a pinch, a hair dryer can also work.
-
Steadily and evenly heat the perimeter of the display until it's too hot to touch, and try to maintain that temperature for several minutes.
-
-
-
Use a suction cup or an iSclack to pull up on the glass and create a slight gap between the glass and the metal frame.
-
Carefully insert an opening pick into the gap between the screen and the device to cut the adhesive.
-
Slide the pick around the sides and bottom of the display to cut the adhesive. Apply more heat as needed.

Hi,
I live in the UAE and I have a broken screen. The screens work just no touch screen. Getting it replaced over here will cost a lot. Over 600 usd. The screen will cost the most.
Instead, I thought about buying the screen and digitizer myself and have someone fix it here for me. This will he relatively cheaper.
How do I know which screen and digitizer to buy? And where can I buy one from? I found the v1.1 on etrade supply but I don't know how reliable this site is.
Can you please guide me?
Thanks
JuliusCes

i’ve just changed my screen with mixed results. I tried to remove the cracked screen in case it turned out to be something other than v1.1. in fact I ended up chipping off hundreds of shards around the edges until it finally came out. It was a 1.1, hooray! So then I plugged in the replacement and it works great, but I’m afraid to tape it in permanently because I damaged all three antennae which I didn’t anticipate being buried in the adhesive along the top edge. As I was chipping glass and peeling pieces out I didn’t realize those were prices of the antennae I was tearing out. Wi-Fi speed test runs fine in my shop where I’m close to the access point. I‘m trying to decide whether to order the antennae to replace just in case. I’l need those tiny torx drivers to remove screws.
Contrary to the photos above I didn’t need to remove screws to remove the display. The connector is actually the one just below the one indicated -the smaller one that has no screw.
Happy fixing!
Look up the correct replacement screen by including your Surface model # in the query. Find your model # under the kickstand.

Many thanks for the reply. I ended up getting the screen fixed via Microsoft. It turns out that they have a service center in the UAE. Something that not even the UAE microsoft store was aware of!
Cheers,
Julius
