    • If your screen glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.

    • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the Surface’s screen until the whole face is covered.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the screen.

    • Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and be careful not to damage the LCD display.

    If I have a screen protector on the screen should I remove it? Will it interfere with the heating process?

  2. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Battery Replacement, Heat the right edge of the screen: adım 2, 1 resimden 1.
    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the Surface's screen for two minutes.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the tablet warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • You may also use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to heat the Surface.

    • Be careful not to overheat the Surface—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

    • Don't use a hot plate if the screen has been taped.

    I have done dozens of Surface Pro tablet repairs; if your screen is cracked or chipped AT ALL, you WILL make it worse. Plan on replacing it. Even if it's not cracked or chipped, the likely hood of removing this screen without damage (LCD separation or heat marks in the corners) is very low. Ive tried everything from hot plates to heat mats and the iOpener and nothing is reliable enough. I found that using my Warner heat gun set at 800*c and working on half an edge at a time with a LOT of 91% alcohol in a drip bottle along the edge, along with a very thin guitar pick (not the ones sold here, they are too thick) is the trick to loosening the glue. Work on the side and bottom first. The top is going to be the hardest as the adhesive will stick to the wifi/bluetooth antenna and you WILL tear them (Ive had to replace a fair amount of them). There's a delicate trick to doing it, but it's too hard to describe. If you've never done this repair before, I do not recommend it; find a professional.

    Hi, thanks for the information, Very valuable.

    I'm about to do this because my battery and fan aren't working.

    There's no way anybody can fix it properly near me. Got any other tip to try not to break the screen and or any flex?

    I've done works like this on small tablets and phones, but never this pc. I'll try to go slow.

    Thanks again for your experience information.

  3. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Battery Replacement, Take note of the adhesive layout: adım 3, 1 resimden 1.
    • Take note of the screen adhesive layout before continuing:

    • These areas only contain adhesive and are safe to cut.

    • The display board and flex cables sit here close to the edge. Cut carefully and don't insert the pick more than 1/8 inch (3 mm).

    • Fragile antenna cables lie under this part of the screen. Carefully follow the procedure in step 13 to avoid damaging them. The adhesive is also the thickest here.

    The bottom red section is narrow and not as thick as the bevel indicates. I went too deep with my tool and cut through a ribbon thinking that I could send my tool as deep as the black bevel edge. its like half that.

    Jesse Fair - Yanıt

    I did a screenshot of this image to always see it while progressing through the steps and did exactly the same mistake. I read every comment in the steps below but yours only now :( On my device it's 5mm from the edge of the screen glass to the ribbon.

    I cut through as well, but was able to carefully solder the edges together enough to make a connection - works fine.

    Yep. I scratched the corner of the LCD with the pick. Take the warning seriously folks! It’s really easy to do.

    Laurence Mayer - Yanıt

    The warning says to not insert it more than 12mm but it should be not more than 5mm. There is a ribbon/display connection at the bottom and i damaged it.

    • Insert a new opening pick into the bottom left corner and slide it around the corner toward the left edge.

    • Be careful cutting under the lower 2.5 inches (65 mm) of the left edge. Don't insert the opening pick more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) here. The display cables sit near this part of the bezel and are easily damaged.

    • Once past the display cable area, you can insert the pick to 0.45 in (12 mm) again.

    • Slide the pick along the left edge of the Surface to cut through the screen adhesive.

    • Leave this pick in the left edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Round the left corner with the opening pick and slide it along the top edge of the Surface. Stop when the pick is 2.75 inches (70 mm) away from the left edge.

    • The next 6 inches (15 cm) of the top edge of the case is covered by the left and right antennas, which sit between the case and the screen bezel. Follow the next steps carefully to avoid damaging the antennas.

    The right antenna is kind of P shaped (rotated 90° to the right) with the small end facing the middle. I'd suggest to stop at the middle when loosening the left antenna and to do the same thing coming from the right.

    • Fragile antenna cables lie under the top edge of the screen. Carefully follow the procedure to avoid damaging them.

    • Insert the point of a pick under the screen where you just stopped cutting. Don't insert the pick deeper than the edge of the bezel.

    • Carefully roll the pick to the right, pressing the long edge of the pick into the screen adhesive underneath the bezel, cutting the adhesive as you go. Don't slide the pick along the edge of the Surface.

    • Repeat this motion of inserting the point of the pick where you just cut, and rolling to the right all along the top edge of the Surface, until the pick is 2.5 inches (64 mm) from the right edge of the Surface.

    Bij mijn exemplaar bleek het onmogelijk om de bovenrand volgens de aanwijzingen los te maken. Ik heb de boel vele keren opgewarmd en ben meerdere malen met het plectrum langs de rand gegaan. Maar er beleef iets hardnekking vastplakken. Ik moest uiteindelijk de lijmverbindingen los maken zoals bij de andere randen. Achteraf bleek dat bij het gedeelte waar de antennes zaten het frame en het scherm volledig met elkaar verlijmd zaten met de antennes er tussen. Dat kostte me uiteindelijk de antennes. Gelukkig geen schade aan andere zaken. Niet zo'n grote ramp want ik kon nog antennes bestellen. Maar hou er rekening mee.

    • Use this method to remove any EMI shields necessary during your repair:

    • Use one tip of a pair of angled tweezers to pry up the EMI shield from the gaps between the "teeth."

    • Repeat this procedure at different points around the perimeter of the shield until it is free.

    • Try not to deform the shields too much—you will need to reinstall them during reassembly.

    • To reinstall, correct any deformations to the best of your ability, make sure the "teeth" align with the rim on the motherboard, and press down on the entire perimeter of the EMI shield.

    • Make sure all "teeth" are snug to the metal rim and not bent underneath the EMI shield.

    Sorry I’m super brand new to the game. I don’t know the difference between 1.5mm Torx T4 and 3.0mm Torx T4. I look under tools I need to buy, and the tool kits only say Torx T4 or T5, without the milimeters dimensions.

    Je fais écho au commentaire de vennic, les longueurs indiqués en mm sont les longueurs des vis et n’impactent pas les tournevis à utiliser. Bien ranger les vis par longueur permets de mettre les bonnes vis aux bons endroits lors du remontage de l’appareil.

    The fan connector on mine was held in place by a white clamp on the side closest to the middle of the chassis. The long edge toward the middle flips up to vertical. That frees up the fan connector. Likewise for the black “wire” connector right beside it.

    • Use the flat end of your spudger to lift the microSD card reader's connector straight up out of its socket.

    • Lift the microSD card reader cable up and out of the way of the EMI shield covering the charging assembly.

    • Only bend the cable as much as is necessary to access the EMI shield. Do not fold or bend the cable sharply.

    It's probably best to remove the microSD card reader at this point. The guide never states to remove it, but it eventually disappears from the photos. Two T5 screws are all that are holding it down. Easier to take those out and remove the assembly than to try to remove the EMI shield underneath while also holding the ribbon cable out of the way.

    Not necessary to remove the reader. When reinserting the motherboard, you can slide it easily enough underneath it. It may make it easier, but isn't necessary.

    • Insert one point of a pair of tweezers into a gap in the edge of the EMI shield covering the charging assembly cable connector.

    • Use the tweezers to pry the EMI shield away from the motherboard as much as you can without bending it.

    • Try not to deform the shield too much—you will need to reinstall it during reassembly.

    • Remove the shield.

    Do steps 44 and 45 first to completely remove the SD card reader and cable. That way the cable is not in the way during these steps.

    This one broke during reassembling, so I could not fix the connector properly. I tried to find out what it is, but the only hint I found was, that it is some kind of antenna.

Adrian - Yanıt

excellent presentation. I’d never try it myself. But I came here with what appears to be a battery problem. If you accept it as a bit offtopic: my battery icon reads 100%. when I am connected to my adaptor. When I remove the aadaptor plug, the screen goes to only a faint outline…to faint to read what % the battery is reading at. Any thoughts? I’m in a rural area of South West Thailand. So, v difficult to get to a reliable repair shop. Thanks !

paddy - Yanıt

This is probably too late for you now, you’ve probably solved this. But for anyone else experiencing this issue, it COULD be the power options. Windows automatically changes the screen brightness when you unplug, you could’ve accidentally set it right down. Go to Control Panel (Small Icons view) > Power Options. There should be options in there for what to do when removing the power adapter. Sorry I can’t be more specific, I’m on a desktop so it doesn’t have the right options to explain it fully.

Thanks for the tutorial. Managed to break a display cable anyway T_T. Just broke itself… The rest was almost a piece of cake.

Seriously WHY so much shields on the motherboard, its insane… As a Mac Technician for almost two decades never saw such a mess (well except the powerbook 12” maybe).

I believe it is shielding EMF/EMI from the LCD, since everything is mounted right behind the LCDin extremely close proximity, electromagnetic interference can distort the picture, at least that’s the theory.

Søren B - Yanıt

I was not able to run it with the dead battery, even plugged in. It would start to boot, but once the OS kicked in with all the graphics, it would die. I managed to get Ubuntu Linux to work on it a little better, but I would not suggest it. It did not work well enough to use, and Ubuntu didn’t have drivers to run the pen or touch screen very well. Ultimately, replacing the battery worked, and I am now enjoying my Surface Pro 4 again!

Ray Sewell -

I would also be very interested to know. Any feedback from your question ?

Julien Krieger -

I have two under my belt now.

First was a broken screen, very difficult getting the screen off without leaving shards of glass attached to the adhesive. Replaced all adhesive with new.

Second was a battery that was expanding lifting the left side of the screen. Since the left side was lifted this made getting it started for easier. Screen came off intact. The speaker wire (Red/Black) is very fragile, I pulled the pins out of the holder when trying to remove. I was able to put them back. I would avoid it if you can as you only have to lift the mother board high enough to get the battery out and back in. There is enough slack, so I would recommend only removing if absolutely necessary. Followed tip to remove and replace thermal paste (Cleaner and paste (~$15). Had to replace the adhesive under the batter, just ran several stripes of the 2mm adhesive that I used for the display.

This site was a great guide.

Thank you for this teardown and instructions! I just finished repairing my Surface Pro 4 after it sat for a year as a brick when the battery died. (I couldn’t get it to reliably boot up - and stay up - with a bad battery, even when it was plugged in.) I purchased all of the suggested equipment but ended up having to use a razor to shave off some of the aluminum case - near the indentation where the speakers are - in order to get the opening pick under the screen. The pictures were very helpful. Mine had a fan attached to the heat sink on the left side of the device, which meant there were a couple more screws to remove, but otherwise, the teardown was spot on.

Which part of the screen is the actual touch screen connection? I just did all of this and my touch is off a bit. I touch one place and it moves one other place.

I can take this thing apart again and just try it; just wanted to see if anyone had the exact connections..

Be careful around the antenna when removing the display. I sheared the antenna sticker in half and needed to wait 30 days for a new antenna (25$).

Otherwise, the repair was very doable once the screen is off. The recommended adhesive (tesa), does make the display sit lower than original, giving the border a slight sharp edge all around. I would recommend a slightly thicker adhesive for reassembly.

CAUTION! I completed this process to replace the battery on mine, and there is one IMPORTANT step that should be on this guide. Before removing the battery, a plastic card should be inserted between the battery contacts and the underside of the mainboard to isolate the battery from the contacts on the underside of the mainboard. When I was working the adhesive on the battery contacts from the chassis, the connections crossed and shorted something and burned out the IT8528VG chip. I contacted a repair shop regarding replacement of this part and they said it requires a hot air station to remove and micro soldering to replace. They said they see this common error when repairing. Now my Surface is a paperweight. Please add this crucial step to these instructions.

It is very frustrating to have performed this long, difficult process perfectly, with an intact Surface screen at the end, only to have irreparably destroyed it because of one important missing step.

READ ALL STEPS AND COMMENTS FIRST BEFORE STARTING!!!

My surface would not charge the battery and would go dead if unplugged, then would go dead on reboot unless given a hard restart. New battery fixed the issue.

Step 18 is incomplete without reading the comments first, you could apparently brick your device if you don’t remove the old battery using a step that is not included in the guide. Also the guide gives NO guidance on detaching the battery contact strip from the shell, or how to properly install the new battery, which is odd, considering the title of the article. I (and others) wrote some comments on step 18 that should be helpful. The rest of the guide was great, but as is, incomplete.

vennic - Yanıt

I recently attempted this repair but with a new battery installed the device now won’t power on. The old battery was severely swollen and despite being as careful as possible I tore the outer foil wrapper and even tore the connector on the battery during removal (the battery did not smoke or seem that it had shorted). Regardless, it’s pretty clear that the device is shorted and is now bricked, right? Is there any remedy or is the motherboard “fried”?

I wish I would have seen the comments on step 18 about putting an insulator (paper) between the old battery and motherboard when removing. This may have saved my device.

Tabaplar - Yanıt

Just finished replacing the antenna and the battery on Surface Pro4. I highly recommend ignoring the steps to remove the battery without removing the motherboard (mb). Removing the mb is less difficult than trying to get the battery ribbon in and out. As many have learned, you can brick your mb, and, like me not get it aligned properly causing “no battery detected”. After removing the mb, I was able to realign the battery ribbon properly and all worked great. This video is great at removing the mb. Don’t worry about removing the buttons, left speaker, or SSD (they won’t interfere).

Youtube video number: n74Pc_luSGI (How to Take Apart the Microsoft Surface Pro 4)

Once mb is removed, remove the battery, and install the new battery, insuring the battery ribbon is on the plastic locator pin (not in instructions), place adhesive under ribbon to hold in proper place for contacts on the mb.

I purchased these and both work great:

Marianne Barrier - Yanıt

I would HIGHLY suggest removing the entire motherboard when performing this repair. It’s just another few screws and a few ribbon cables to take it out, and it will make removing and installing the new battery 10 times easier and allow you to align it properly. The guide is not kidding about the adhesive holding the back of the battery in place - it is very strong! I ended up using a heat gun on the back side of the device (underneath the kickstand) to help soften it a little bit, and an old credit card to help pry the battery out.

Cameron Bunch - Yanıt

A few thoughts, having done this over the weekend:

First, get yourself one of those sets of three plastic putty knives from the hardware store (the ones that have 3 different sizes). The middle size was the same size as the battery, and made removal of the battery while heating the back of the case a breeze.

Second, remove the tiny screws (two on each side) holding the kickstand to the hinges. It’ll let you fold it all the way back, which makes heating the backside much easier.

Third, while you’re in there, scrape out the copious and ill-applied thermal paste from on and around the CPU dies, and put on something decent. I did, and my Pro 4 is running much cooler now.

Last, TAKE YOUR TIME. I managed to remove and replace my screen without issue, but it took me a bit more than two hours to get it removed, and then remove the adhesive from the case and the back of the screen. I started in the upper-right corner, used the iFixIt Jimmy, and kept the heat gun around the bezel only, just slightly ahead of the Jimmy

I just finished doing this repair yesterday and I have a few tips for people trying this repair. First of all, when removing the display, be really careful on the sides of the camera assembly, because this is where the antennas are located. These antennas are sandwiched between the adhesive that holds the display on and the frame of the device, so it is very easy to break them when you are opening up the device. I actually did end up breaking one of the antenna “flex cable” style pcb’s, but luckily I didnt break any of the traces and my antennas seem to work fine. Also, test the antennas, and make sure the device is able to charge at least a few percent before gluing the display back in place, as the battery might not be able to charge if the connectors to the battery aren’t all connected. This is a very difficult repair, and it feels like Microsoft tried to make the battery one of the most difficult parts to replace. Getting the display off is hard, but it is only the first step.

I just finished doing this repair yesterday and I have a few tips for people trying this repair. First of all, when removing the display, be really careful on the sides of the camera assembly, because this is where the antennas are located. These antennas are sandwiched between the adhesive that holds the display on and the frame of the device, so it is very easy to break them when you are opening up the device.

It does work without the battery. I had no problem plugging it in and testing it without the battery connected.

hooo, ok that is interested. Thanks for sharing. So the battery case empty ?

“No battery detected” after install.. :-(

Habe den Akku erfolgreich getauscht und konnte das Surface anschließend auch wieder starten. Allerdings wird seitdem das Ladekabel (hat vorher einwandfrei funktioniert) nicht mehr erkannt. Jetzt habe ich das Problem dass der Akku nicht geladen wird und auch kein Netzbetrieb möglich ist. Damit ist nun ein neuer Akku drin, benutzen kann ich das Surface aber leider weiterhin nicht :-(. Hat jemand eine Idee was ich ncoh machen könnte?

It’s nuts to me that, knowing full and well that blowing a backlight fuse is so %#*@ easy when accidentally hitting a power on input while servicing the device, that manufacturers willingly make the battery the last thing you can unplug. Great breakdown.

Davey Wavey - Yanıt

Thanks for the detailed tutorial.

IMHO it’s better to fully remove the motherboard (what I personnaly did), this has the following advantages:

- no shortcircuit risk when ungluing the battery flex-pcb.

- better access to the right side of the battery to remove it.

- easier to precisely stick the flex-pcb on the case after replacing the battery.

Thanks for the tutorial. An excellent presentation on how to carefully access and replace the battery in a Surface Pro 4. I was able to complete this procedure without breaking the display glass and successfully replaced the battery in my old Surface Pro 4 with an iFixIt battery. I used iFixIt tools available from the iFixIt site. The only suggestion I would make would be to use a dental pick to remove the EMI shields from the Surface Pro. The supplied tweezers in the iFixIt tool kit was not strong enough and the tips bent. Also recommend carefully cleaning the glass surface of the display below the camera openings to ensure the cameras have a clear view once all the adhesive is removed, before the display is reattached to the case.

Eine kleine Verbesserung wäre, wenn man ein Foto von der Montage des Mainboards am neuen Display machen könnte.

Ansonsten ist das eine super Anleitung ! Weiter so :)

If you prefer to watch a video of disassembly/reassembly, I have successfully completed the whole process ;) You can see it here:

.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 - screen bulge fixed, battery replaced, SSD upgraded! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eEbdCMr...)

.

So you can see non-broken screen removal and reattachment, motherboard removal, battery replacement, SSD replacement etc. I even managed to keep the screen intact after all was said and done! ;)

And as few people mentioned, avoid temptation to skip motherboard removal unless you know exactly what you’re doing (and if you’re reading this, you’re probably not). It is a bit more hassle to disconnect a bunch of stuff on the motherboard, but it makes it A LOT easier and more importantly SAFER to remove and reinstall the battery. Shorting motherboard is a real thing, and fixing that problem would be a whole lot more difficult than removing the motherboard. So just do it the right way, you will be thankful later ;)

Just Make It - Yanıt

It was described perfectly but my question is going to be related with what is the max capacity as MAH for the battery of my MSP4 to make the battery life last longer and stronger. I mean is it possible to make it bigger which will be helping us that we will be using it for more hours than before. If it is possible or if there is any other option to do it please just let me know. I do love my MSP4 and I just wanna use it more without the charger I will be able to use it more than 2 -3 hours for each time I turn it on. Even giving me more suggestions will be appropriate for making a new solution for my problem.

Nebil - Yanıt

Don't do this repair. It really isn't worth it. I managed to get everything done, but I was already replacing a faulty screen and figured "why not replace the battery while I'm in here?!"

Well... why not? Because it's way more work, everything is fiddley and easy to break, and the battery is a PAIN to get out.

Rob Traynere - Yanıt

I just replaced my battery in my Surface Pro 4. I followed an online replacement video that wasn't iFixit. Now my surface doesn't charge or power on. Reading some comments from others that are looking at the same problem after they changed their batteries, there appears to be a problem with Microsoft using a "Zero Ohm" resister that can be taken out by just lifting the board to remove the old battery. iFixit's video that shows removing the whole motherboard, I think that would have eliminated the problem I am now facing. Something should have been noted with the replacement battery that iFixit supplies, recommending that the entire motherboard be re-moved would have helped in avoiding this potential failure. I am onboard with the whole concept of 'Right To Repair', and the number of people that commented on the iFixit site that had the same scenario problem, makes me think that iFixit wasn't quick enough to acknowledge the problem or simply recommend with a note supplied with the replacement part.

David Laniewicz - Yanıt

hello, I was replacing the battery. when lifting up the motherboard this thing popped out of somewhere. and have no idea where this should go during assembly—image on the link. can someone please help me out?

It is the fixation on the heat dissipation rod from the battery to the CPU near the battery plate, see picture step 30 or the upper screw on step 25. It also happened to me :-).

Josef Lichtscheindl -

A great detailed tear down description.

HOWEVER please note that on my Surface Pro 4 you can't lift the screen up as described as they are too short and it tore one on the ribbon cables! A better way is to lift the screen up just enough to prise off the aluminum covers and disconnect the cable connectors first.

Mike Lagan - Yanıt

Thanks for this tutorial, really great! I managed to replace the battery and the device works just fine after.

Anyway, everybody talks about sustainability these days. The battery in the MS surface is a great example about how to avoid sustainability and make "one-way" devices... :-/ . I like working with the surface a lot, but the experience of changing the battery leaves a bit of an aftertaste on Microsoft's hardware.

Josef Lichtscheindl - Yanıt

Hello.

I completely agree with this comment about programmed obsolescence. It's obvious that the MS Surface tablet was designed to be almost impossible to dismantle and therefore to be throw away in the event of a breakdown. Despite this precious tutorial and the use of the iOpener, it was impossible for me to remove the touch screen without breaking it. I had the same misfortune with the wifi and Bluetooth antennae on the top part, the metal strips were completely amalgamated with the adhesive and I had to sacrifice them to remove the pieces of glass. So, a word of warning to the next (very) brave troubleshooting adventurers: replacing the battery on a pro surface is a very very... delicate operation. Good luck!

Mein altes Akku hatte sich 2 Wochen vor der ersten Klausurphase so stark aufgebläht, dass sich das Display in der unteren linken Ecke gelöst hat und ich war von meinem Microsoft Surface Pro 4 angewiesen.

Dank der detaillierten Anleitung mit Bild und Text, konnte ich leichter den Akku mit weiteren Toolkits von iFixit mit einer Wärmeleitpaste wechseln.

Die Tipps waren auch in der Anleitung sehr hilfreich.

Es sind schon 2 Monate nach dem Akku-Wechsel und ich habe bis jetzt keine Probleme feststellen können.

Das einzige (was ich auch verkraften kann) ist, dass mein Tablet nach herunterfahren sich trotzdem entlädt. Ich weiß nicht woran das liegt.

Aber unter Einstellung > System > Strom und Akku sieht man eine ausführliche Information der Akkustände in der letzten 24h.

Man kann sehen wieviel Prozent in der Stunde (z.B. im ausgeschalteten Zustand) entladen wird.

So weiß ich ungefähr wann das Tablet (im ausgeschalteten Zustand) wieder aufgeladen werden muss.

Vielen Dank an dem iFixit-Team😀👍🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was an excellent guide. I was able to replace the battery and it's charging now and no broken or lost parts! For some unknown reason, the Surface could not find the battery the first time I installed it. I did it over and made sure the battery connection was properly located and I bent the motherboard prongs a little for better contact. Not sure which one was the issue but it works now. It was not too difficult to remove the glass since the swollen batteries had completely unfastened the left side of the screen. I used a heat gun and took it easy. The correct labeling and storage of the small screws was easy using a magnetic board. The Ifixit kit had all the needed supplies. I bought a static strap and the magnetic board to make the job easier. Hopefully I can get a few more years out of it. The Surface Pro 4 works really well as a travel computer.

Spoke too soon. Battery charges to 100% but surface only operates when plugged in with charging cable.

Victor Bertolina - Yanıt

I had the expanded batteries that made me think screen removal was fairly easy and I was already over the hump. I had not read the warnings about the antenna tape so I was not as delicate there as I should have been. Made it through the disassembly and reassembly. Struggled with one micro connector to the right of the camera bank that I may not have needed to unplug - I don't think it was in the instructions and I don't have any confidence in the way it went back in.

Unit went back together, booted from battery, recognized me (camera works), but now no keyboard/touchpad. Not sure if these keyboards are bluetooth, but I couldn't get it to recognize a bluetooth speaker either. Touch works fine. The pen works fine. Wifi is fine.

Primarily wanted to rescue it as a drawing tablet, and avoid buying an iPad. This may work as a drawing tablet for a bit but it wasn't a pleasant experience and I wouldn't risk it again.

Hola. buenas. Hace 1 año se me infló la batería de mi surface pro 4. Hace un año la envié a reparar, pero decidí por diversas circunstancias usarla sin bateria. Ahora quiero ponerle una nueva. Mi pregunta es ¿puedo ponerle alguna otra batería de mayor capacidad?

Muchas gracias.

Hello. hello good. 1 year ago the battery of my surface pro 4 inflated. A year ago I sent it in for repair, but decided for various reasons to use it without a battery. Now I want to put a new one on it. My question is, can I put another battery with a higher capacity?

Thank you very much.

getting the screen off w/o breaking it or damaging the ribbon cables on either side of the camera are the most difficult parts of this process.

Paul Nozicka - Yanıt

Thank's a lot ! I would never try without this tutorial. A bit long but successfull: new battery, new SDD and Windows 11 installed.

Dam - Yanıt

The tutorial was easy to follow. The overall experience to me was pretty good. Most of it not difficult at all. Having the right tools helps ofcourse. I only encountered one problem and that had nothing to do with the quality of the tutorial. When releasing the screen from the frame I had problems in the antenna area. At the end I had no other choise then use some more force then I wanted to. Ending up destroying the antenna. When the screen was seperated I could see why. Parts of the antenna were glued to the screen and parts of the antenna were clued to the frame. No amount of heat was enough to get the antenna released from the screen. And even after the screen was released I had difficulties cleaning the screen from the remains of the antennas.

Thank you for this guide. I was successful in getting the new battery installed. I received the Surface Pro 4 from my boss because it was getting retired. It now will gain a second life in the field during our customer estimates. I had two problems. The adhesive torn the copper on the wifi antenna cover in two spots. Instead of replacing it I used silver glue over the torn area and it's working fine. The wifi ribbon I screwed up and bought a replacement, along with a new SSD since I had it opened up. I've built computers since I was 13 in the early 90s. Not a hard fix but a time consuming one.

Trent - Yanıt

A great set of instructions! I had only one slip up (foil antenna cut- but was able to fix this). It took 3 hours to disassemble, remove battery and clean. Took a lunch break, then 1 hour to reassemble, test and reattach screen. The touch screen was intact, but the touch portion was damaged as the battery had swelled and bent the screen. I now have a small band near the screen top that does not respond to touch. everything else works as it did when new. Thanks to you and well done!

L Schaffer - Yanıt

Excellente aide au démontage de la Surface, très bien pour la qualité du texte et ds photos ! bravo !

Dominique Delagree - Yanıt

Followed this guide, laboriously and slowly, and successfully replaced the battery. I went around the screen with my pick and a hot air gun, very slowly working out the adhesive. I did break one of the antenna, but replaced it with some copper tape I had in the shed (slug tape!). Not the easiest thing to do, but I couldn't have done it without this guide. Thanks!
