After quite a number of studies and watching all the replacement videos and mental simulation, I successfully replaced my surface go screen. Thank god and I'm here to say thanks for this video!
Thank you! Thought for a sec I'd damaged that antenna after all. But the fault was that I hadn't pressed the pop clip down hard enough! When I did, everything worked! I managed to assemble the unit without breaking anything - it's not a perfect fit at the edges, but it's good enough. I'm not a professional but nobody repairs them in Sweden. Alternative would have been to pay 400 EUR to Microsoft and send off the unit to Germany and have a refurbished one returned. Doing the repair myself was better alternative. I succeeded thanks to your video!
I have an SP5, will never buy this kind of thing again. Battery dying, less than 2 yrs old. Not really replaceable. NO DEVICE should be this difficult to service. These things should have case screws. Yes I've cracked open modern phones that are nearly as bad, but this thing is about the worst. And I have yet to see anyone post a battery replacement vid. Apparently the battery is glued across it's entire back side. The whole situation is ridiculous. $1200 device that can brick at any time, irreparable.
Yes, has a similar issue but in my case the battery was swolen and it broke the screen off. Total piece of crap, microsoft said if I give them the old one + 300 usd they give me a new piece of crap, but that would be wasting 300 usd IMO.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Es lo PEOR que he visto. La batería sale fácilmente si ponemos un poco de quitaesmalte de uñas, con una jeringuilla, por debajo de la batería. Estas baterías son MUY peligrosas, jamás usar elementos metálicos para quitarlas, si se perforan se prenden fuego y es mejor salir corriendo.
@FixItPlanet1 You didn't talk about the digitizer...? Does it have to have conductivity to the back of the screen? I cleaned the back of my digitizer so there is no old adhesive on it.... Will using a two-sided tape prevent it from working properly? Do I need to use a conductive adhesive?
Yeah I've done a few of these now and it's basically a craps shoot whether or not the antennas will rip off or not. There's adhesive on both sides of the antennas so it's incredibly difficult to get the antennas to separate from the screen but stay on the case. PITA.
Thanks for the video, is it true that batteries on surface pro 5 are digitally signed by microsoft so replacing them by yourself would make the device wont charge anymore?
I need to change the battery on mine which no longer charges. I have now received the battery but need the know what is the adhesive and where can I obtain it. Thanks
Some ultra strong double sided tape works wonders - not the usual cheap paper tape, but the plasticised type used by carpet fitters would certainly hit the spot.
Hello, I got the battery changed on my Surface pro 5 and now the touch screen stopped responding, what could be the cause? And is it possible just to replace the cables that connect the screen to the board in case they are damaged during the replacement of the battery? Thanks
could you please let me know what the 2 antennas on the top are for?Actually the one on the left side? Can it be something related to the touch screen? Thanks for your help! and your video, i wish i could have found it before :s
Hello, what does this antenna do? I damaged them :( Also I have a phantom touch finger in the corner. Is the display I purchased damaged when there is a constant finger touch? Thank you
after i had got my screen off i accidently hit the power button, after doing so i plugged the screen back in while it was running and now my screen will post the microsoft logo then flicker a little and go black. do you know if my screen is broken? or have you run into this and know what i should do next?
Hello I was wondering if you know where I could get a replacement LCD screen connector shield like the first one you took off at the bottom of the LCD screen?
I accidentally cut off two inner screen cables that fold in from the screen connector on bottom left that you disconnected from the bottom. I used a plastic card to cut off the screen its not sharp but it somehow ripped it. Is there any way to fix this? I can seperate the screen and see the connectors but I dont know if its even possible to get those cables.
Good Evening, I have no backlight after performing the LCD + Digitizer Assembly replacement. The screen does display everything all the way to the desktop (while booting up). However, you have to hold it at a certain angle in light to see anything. The display is very dim. I connected the old display back up to the Surface and experienced the same result. I did this to rule out a defective replacement display. Do you have any suggestions?
I just followed your video today and got the glass all off, however on the antennas I have a question, please. I see where the glass made a small indent and on the other the edge looks torn a little. If I send a picture can you tell me if it will work or if I should not bother getting a new screen? My husband bought this for me and I only had it a few weeks when I dropped it. No warranty because it was a discount at best buy and we got a deal. I found your video and decided to give it a go at fixing it myself and so far so good except for the above question. Thank you.
If it is torn just a little it will most likely still work but signal reception may be reduced. A minor dent is not a big deal. I would just replace the screen and test before sealing it up. See how well it works and make a judgment then. Doesn't sound too bad.. :)
Is there any way to test the display to make sure that it's working? I have a Surface where the screen cracked & was still working, I tried 2 different screens & I can touch the screen & see that the digitizer is sensing my hand when I hook up a monitor to the display port. I've purchased a new digitizer & 2 new ribbon cables in hopes that this would solve my issue. I've replaced several other screens on different surfaces without this issue. I can't figure out if I damaged something on the surface to prevent the screen from showing up. I guess I might have to take apart a working surface & test out these 2 screens unless someone knows of any other way.
Can I use surface pro 5 screen in surface pro 4 because it has screen flickering problem, and I heard somewhere that if you replace pro 4 screen with surface pro 5 the screen flickering problem is resolved.Thanks
If your screen flickers just try testing the tablet with a known good screen. Even though the Pro 5 screen will work and fit on a Pro 4 the display cable is different and there is no reason to substitute a 5 screen for a 4.
How do you like that adhesive? I ordered one from Ebay to repair a surface 3 screen and everything was fine and working after I put the new screen on but the screen started to come off later.
@@FixItPlanet1 hello from Wisconsin! I have the 1769(bought it 3 months ago) Due to unforeseen events I am having to replace the screen myself. Wondering if you could maybe answer a few questions I have.
i want to share with you a unique a rare and unique case which you can take'it as a chalange: using a Microsft Surface Probook since new and from the begining were problems even with the phisical keyboard or usb , simple not working. Each time after a factory reset always started to work perfect. All this till one day when navigating the surface got stuck. I turned off and from that moment (1 years ago) till present i can not acces my laptop because is impossible to type the laptop password as : - phisical keyboard is not working - the touch screen keyboard is not showing up - the other option "on screeen keyboard" when you touch'it everything becames blocked and need to re-start. Also note that: - USB is not working and i can not reset the windows - the only way when i can type something is in the BIOS "the security question" using the touch keyboard. I tryed to reset'i using the power and volume (more than 100 times) and is not working. Anyone have any ideea ? Solution ?
What about if it looks like theres just white circles and lines in q certainly. Spot of the screen no drops or cracks or anything n u cant see them all the time it's mainly only on darker screens
Yeah.. My Surface Pro 4 screen just one day started getting ghost touches and then after a while the entire screen became not responsive to touch. This was completely random.. I like the device, but it's just say seeing how microsoft doesn't want to deal with these faulty screens and how hard it actually is to repair it yourself. I've found out that my surface has a 2015 version of the display which apparently was faulty when manufactured, but microsoft still doesn't want to deal with anyone who has problems.
Hi Fixit, I've watched your video several times now... I've got to replace the charging port on my surface pro 5, it got wet and burnt the contacts out. I can't find anybody in the uk to do this repair but I reckon I've as good a chance as any. Do you have any advice on which exact place to start prying the screen away from the body? I'll use a heat gun and plastic tools. Do I have any chance of getting the screen off without breaking it iyo? thanks for the vid
Believe it or not I've done it, but It is very difficult to remove the screen without damaging it. I would be prepared to replace that as well. You can start prying anywhere around the edge except for the bottom left corner and save the top for last, go slowly, and pay close attention. The antennas at the top will tear easily. Also the bottom left corner is where the digitizer controller board resides. Those cables are very close to the edge, you only have about 2.30mm clearance...So don't insert your tools too far or you will damage those cables. You might also find some useful info in a new video th-cam.com/video/aMGikVXxdBY/w-d-xo.html It's an SP 4 but closely related. Cheers!
Thanks for the reply and advie. Seems the screens are only £150 new on ebay.... Even if I do have to replace the screen, it's still way cheaper than MS out of warranty repair at £400. Low heat I'm guessing if you don't want to fry the screen?? Cheers again!
No problem. As far as heat goes... don't leave it in one place for too long keep moving it around. Temp just depends on how far away the source is and size of the nozzle etc. Happy repairing!
Hey again. Well.... started at one of the speaker holes, all went well for about 15 seconds, then smashed the screen! Ah well. Nightmare and then I pretty much broke it all the way round, except for the top. At any rate, all the broken glass off and all the black stickystuff, nothing damaged (apart from dang screen). I kept turning it on by mistake, but having the windows welcome sound was very useful, cos then I waited for it and then held down power for 20 secs to turn off again So thanks lots for the vid because without it I would have messed it up reeeeeaaaaalllllll bad!! Final question: are all the oem replacement screens on ebay more or less the same?? Some have wildly different prices but none are "orig" parts. Cheers bud
The screens are fine (usually) and come from the same places in China regardless of who's selling them. Just make sure the return policy is sufficient in case you need to return a defective screen. Don't seal it up until your sure it's good. Cheers
It all depends on what type of tool your using. A regular heat gun has at least a high and a low setting. If your using a hot air station then you can adjust the temp more accurately. Mainly distance, airflow, and thermal mass are critical to deciding what temp to use.
Dear I want to consult you: I replaced the screen of my surface 5 pro 1796 with another of the same P / N, it was working very well for a whole day, after a win10 update, coincidentally the touch no longer works. I restored the Windows as factory, I also tried booting in UEFI mode and the touch no longer works, it is inoperative. I have my doubts: 1- When did Windows also update the firmware of the touch control board, is the firmware incompatible? 2- When the touch is connected or disconnected, the screen always works ok. 3- I have installed two screens and the same thing happens, after Windows is updated, the touch no longer works. The screens I have bought from aliexpress, they are reconditioned. Has anyone had a similar experience?
So far I have not come across this update problem with the Surface Tablet. Maybe pulled from a bad batch.. Try replacing the control board and test again.
@@FixItPlanet1 Have you ever come across this issue since this comment? I'm having the exact same issue. Replaced the screen, worked fine for about 2 days and then the touch stopped working. I thought maybe the ribbon cable was damaged so I replaced it and still nothing.
How about someone make a converter kit, that one you ever get the glass off without destroying the Surface that you can reassemble it and disassemble it again without going through the ordeal again?
what is the touch-screen model for this tablet? I want to restore a new touch-screen personally, however i want to be certain i order the correct touch-screen part/accessory. Im trying to learn properly about my tablet and become self sufficient in reparing as a healthy project. Can anyone shed some light on the exact screen i would order online? id appreciate any assistance, since the customer service wants to charge me for their service. thank you all!
hey i dont understand im looking at all the sp5 teardown videos and none of them have fans but mine has a fan, i can hear it im pretty sure mine is an sp5 because it has a 7th gen i7 cpu if you have any info on where i could find a teardown of it i would be very greatful good video nonetheless :)
Fix It Planet thanks but do you know if the cooling system is the same? I want to change the thermal paste on mine but I don’t want to open it just to see that the fan isn’t connected to a heat sink or heat pipes for nothing
I need a few pry tools like the one you use in this video. PLEASE link us to similar tools? I can't stand non-premium tools that are for sale everytwhere.
That is a problem I found 2 available for about $200 bucks on eBay rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FMicrosoft-Surface-Pro-1796-Tablet-2017-MODEL-Wireless-Wifi-Antenna-M1024928-%2F142897584260%3F_trksid%3Dp2349526.m4383.l4275.c3%23viTabs_0&campid=5338414869&toolid=20008 Also I found this article you might want to read too blog.kamens.us/2017/05/10/lessons-learned-from-diy-microsoft-surface-pro-4-screen-replacement/
NO, never do that. I have a surface pro 4 and the screen is awful. I've actually considered replacing the screen with a surface pro 5 one, because it's possible and the screen itself is a much higher quality than the SP4 one. The surface pro 4 screens are the worst screens you can get, they have an insanely high failiure rate because they're really poor quality. I'm lucky that my surface pro 4 screen has only the touch layer dead, so I can't use the touch to interact with the device, but atleast it still works with keyboard.. Many people with SP4 had straight up the entire screen die without doing anything to it.. It's just a very bad screen in general
Unfortunately, I'm watching this video after I had nicked the touch digitizer flat cables and most probably ripped the antennas on top, too. Now, I don't know what to do to get my girlfriend's respect back 😔
Your garbage Surface 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the next of them, does your screen went dead?! Well... I have bad news for you. My Surface Pro 7 went dead, turns on only if left to cool down... but I have some bad news for you, it's a hardware issue, Microsoft knows about it, but they don't care, it's a marketing thing. On the right side of the screen, just a little down below the right speaker, it's a magnetic microswich that is being triggered by a magnet in the keyboard, it doesn't matter if keyboard is attached or not, the magnetic sensor it's underneath the LCD, so... The tablet in time heats up, the battery slowly expands due to the heat and wear out of the battery... This battery expansion puts pressure on the motherboard, the sensor it's on the motherboard we're just above I mentioned about it, this expansion it's enough to trigger the magnetic sensor as there's the keyboard close to the screen, so the tablet won't turn on, the tablet thinks that the keyboard is close to the LCD, so it's made to not turn the screen on, if obviously the keyboard is closed. In fact the tablet is on, but no light on LCD. Probably even if taken apart, most likely you won't be able to find a new switch, it's pretty much same concept as the light inside your fridge, but this sensor it's digital, not just analog. They packed way to many things in such a small enclosure, maybe 1mm more thickness would have saved the situation... Yes, you can most likely relate this issue with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 from a few years ago, remember those when they use to burst in flame? Was because of the battery expansion, but had nowhere to expand.
After quite a number of studies and watching all the replacement videos and mental simulation, I successfully replaced my surface go screen. Thank god and I'm here to say thanks for this video!
lekhalalala you replaced a surface go? Can you PLEASE make a video, I cannot find anything on that specific device and I need to replace it too
Just wanted to say thx!! I saw your video like 3 times before I started and did a successful repair!! thank you very much....

Great thorough video. All of yours are well done. What about the Surface Pro 6? Seems to be a similar layout....is it?

Ya know, if you use plastic instead of a metal pry tool when ya pry up on it you won't scratch the device. Just a suggestion my friend.

what is the touch-screen model for this tablet? I want to restore a new touch-screen personally, however i want to be certain i order the correct touch-screen part/accessory. Im trying to learn properly about my tablet and become self sufficient in reparing as a healthy project. Can anyone shed some light on the exact screen i would order online? id appreciate any assistance, since the customer service wants to charge me for their service. thank you all!
This is what will work here amzn.to/3gZlCJy
hey i dont understand im looking at all the sp5 teardown videos and none of them have fans but mine has a fan, i can hear it
im pretty sure mine is an sp5 because it has a 7th gen i7 cpu
if you have any info on where i could find a teardown of it i would be very greatful
good video nonetheless :)
The teardowns are the same. One has a fan and one doesn't but the process of removing the screen and taking them apart is the same.
Fix It Planet thanks but do you know if the cooling system is the same? I want to change the thermal paste on mine but I don’t want to open it just to see that the fan isn’t connected to a heat sink or heat pipes for nothing
I need a few pry tools like the one you use in this video. PLEASE link us to similar tools? I can't stand non-premium tools that are for sale everytwhere.
Try these amzn.to/2C99CSA
I broke my antenna :( i wonder how much would it impact my surface
Oh shyt... seriously? That would result in reduced reception.... seems obvious enough.
Hello there, i was wondering where can I get the adhesive for the display.
How wide is it?
I found something on ebay from 2mm to 10mm
Thanks
2mm and 5mm or 7mm all can be usefull depending on your needs amzn.to/2vL3XCb
is there a way to replace the antenna if you rip it off?
That is a problem I found 2 available for about $200 bucks on eBay rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FMicrosoft-Surface-Pro-1796-Tablet-2017-MODEL-Wireless-Wifi-Antenna-M1024928-%2F142897584260%3F_trksid%3Dp2349526.m4383.l4275.c3%23viTabs_0&campid=5338414869&toolid=20008
Also I found this article you might want to read too blog.kamens.us/2017/05/10/lessons-learned-from-diy-microsoft-surface-pro-4-screen-replacement/
I have about 80 surface with bad screens. Need to buy screens for cheap first.
Can i put a surface pro 4 lcd on a surface pro 5?
The surface pro 4 lcd is less expensive
Bro
NO, never do that. I have a surface pro 4 and the screen is awful. I've actually considered replacing the screen with a surface pro 5 one, because it's possible and the screen itself is a much higher quality than the SP4 one. The surface pro 4 screens are the worst screens you can get, they have an insanely high failiure rate because they're really poor quality. I'm lucky that my surface pro 4 screen has only the touch layer dead, so I can't use the touch to interact with the device, but atleast it still works with keyboard.. Many people with SP4 had straight up the entire screen die without doing anything to it.. It's just a very bad screen in general
Unfortunately, I'm watching this video after I had nicked the touch digitizer flat cables and most probably ripped the antennas on top, too. Now, I don't know what to do to get my girlfriend's respect back 😔
I need to know how to change the charging port..... Any help with that?
There are propietary port adaptor to USB-C PD on ebay or aliexpress.
Side vent sticker surface pro 5?
does not turn on. I think this is due to the resistor powering the processor. where is it to change it.
Welp on hour 2 on my screen replacement got about half the screen lifted off
what can you do if you dint have a heat gun
May try a hairdryer.
Whew!
When you say "glass", do you mean the screen?
This guy keeps talking about damages
For real there is so much damages!
Your garbage Surface 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the next of them, does your screen went dead?! Well... I have bad news for you.
My Surface Pro 7 went dead, turns on only if left to cool down...
but I have some bad news for you, it's a hardware issue, Microsoft knows about it, but they don't care, it's a marketing thing.
On the right side of the screen, just a little down below the right speaker, it's a magnetic microswich that is being triggered by a magnet in the keyboard, it doesn't matter if keyboard is attached or not, the magnetic sensor it's underneath the LCD, so... The tablet in time heats up, the battery slowly expands due to the heat and wear out of the battery... This battery expansion puts pressure on the motherboard, the sensor it's on the motherboard we're just above I mentioned about it, this expansion it's enough to trigger the magnetic sensor as there's the keyboard close to the screen, so the tablet won't turn on, the tablet thinks that the keyboard is close to the LCD, so it's made to not turn the screen on, if obviously the keyboard is closed. In fact the tablet is on, but no light on LCD.
Probably even if taken apart, most likely you won't be able to find a new switch, it's pretty much same concept as the light inside your fridge, but this sensor it's digital, not just analog.
They packed way to many things in such a small enclosure, maybe 1mm more thickness would have saved the situation...
Yes, you can most likely relate this issue with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 from a few years ago, remember those when they use to burst in flame? Was because of the battery expansion, but had nowhere to expand.
so so glad i dident buy this pice of crap
