thats what I noticed and was wondering if there is a reason why tape is not used. I imagine a process like this: Lay strips of an aggressive tape like gorilla duct tape completely covering the screen. Extend the strips in both directions folding the end of the tape thus creating a "pull tab" . Heat the screen enough to lift the screen leaving no debris behind due to debris sticking to duct tape. Im wondering if this is feasible
This is a very useful video, I did mine last night. Only problem is that the screen cable connected on the new screen seems to be the wrong shape due to the video connecter on the new screen being offset by about an inch
Great video! Is it possible to just change the glass and not the whole screen? Or is it better to buy a new screen? I have a Surface Pro 7 with broken glass but the touch is still working.
Cheap inexpensive way would probably be to use molybdenum cutting wire to separate the top glass from the screen, then remove all the glue from off the LCD screen.
Hi your video give me the confidence to attempt a repair, although my pen doesnt work correctly, it leaves a series of dots instead of drawing lines? i did partially remove the right antenna whilst removing the glue (too much heat?) but managed to stick to back, any ideas with the pen before i stick the screen on?
I was reading the reviews for the screen replacement and one of them commented that the touch screen response was slow. I don’t know if it was because of how it was installed or because of the screen replacement itself. How was you touch screen response compared to the original screen?
My touch response was accurate and fast, same as original. It could be possible to receive a defective screen. Please test any screen you receive prior to finalizing the repair, if defective send back for replacement
I cut straight through one of the right side wifi thing by accident but the screen, touch, and wifi all work just fine, should I be worried or replace it before gluing my screen back on?
On my Pro 7+, there are 2 horizontal lines of less than 1 cm, where the stylus is not working anymore... If I delete the drivers and restart the problem persists. Is that the digitizer that has to be replaced? Is the digitizer of the Pro 7 compatible to be used on a pro7+, they seem to have identical screens.
Hi, your video is helping me a lot. I've removed the screen but I might have damaged the wifi antenna, not really sure. There is a little piece of a sticker missing that says wifi antenna left ... Is that sticker any important or just a label? Would really appreciate your help.
If just a little piece is missing it should be fine, you can connect the new screen but do not glue into place (have all old glue removed from frame). Then turn on the device and test out the Wi-Fi, if it is fine then proceed with the repair, if not, you can order and replace the antenna.
thanks for the video! my SP7 touch screen is not working (top right of the screen) but it works with surface pen, if i try to change the touch screen it would work again all the screen?
Hi... Thank u so much for the video.... I just broke my laptop few moments ago and I am so sad. Umm would u mind telling me who much does the repairing process actually cost? I am actually a high school student and have no idea how to mend my computer.
That flex cable that is more towards the middle of the screen, it has a metal cover over the connector, does anyone know how remove? Im replacing the screen on an sp7, this is the 5th i have replaced. It gets easier. If anyone is on the of replacing it themselves, go for it!
What temperature you used with the heat gun?
I use medium heat, about 500 degrees
word of caution, plz keep moving the heatgun contineously around the edges, might damage the unit if concentrate on one area/spot for too long
I was thinking of using a blow drier if I can get the right temperature. Tell me you were too🤣🤣🤣
If you cover the shattered screen with tape, you don't end up with broken glass everywhere.

That comes with experience... only after you've had to pick glass out of your fingertips a few times tho
Sounds like a good plan... I'm replacing a screen next week, will try this approach...

I’m thinking of trying this. Does the computer screen still work properly?
worked perfectly!! Thank you so much!!
Great video!

Unfortunately not without expensive machines. But it is doable
Cheap inexpensive way would probably be to use molybdenum cutting wire to separate the top glass from the screen, then remove all the glue from off the LCD screen.
What temperature do you set your heat gun at?
Medium heat, about 500-600 degrees

You can test the new screen, clean all old adhesive, fit the new screen into place (do not glue) and test all features.
Let me know if you need any help regarding this repair.
Keep up the great work! I love the all the background sounds.👏🏻🙌🏻
After I installed the new screen, it didn't want to work as a touchscreen anymore

Can I use hair dryer instead of the heat gun??
Yes, it may not be as effective but it will work.
What if you inject alcohol around the edges first the try to pry carefully the screen, would it help soften the glue?
Yes, but not as effective as heat. If you do use alcohol, be very careful not to apply too much as it can damage internal components.
What temperature you use ?
I cut straight through one of the right side wifi thing by accident but the screen, touch, and wifi all work just fine, should I be worried or replace it before gluing my screen back on?
Check for Bluetooth function as well. Check for Wi-Fi range, if all is acceptable then seal, if not replace damaged cable.
@@TheFixTech I hadn't considered those things, thank you
Hey i have that proplem but i cant find a screen where can i buy it or ordret
e-bay ! as everybody (unless you live in North America also in Amazon)
I have surface pro 7 plus, will this screen (pro 7) work well?
On my Pro 7+, there are 2 horizontal lines of less than 1 cm, where the stylus is not working anymore... If I delete the drivers and restart the problem persists. Is that the digitizer that has to be replaced?
Is the digitizer of the Pro 7 compatible to be used on a pro7+, they seem to have identical screens.
Does window restart when you install a new touchscreen?
Make sure the system is powered off, windows will not reset back to factory settings. Your data will be safe.
what kind of double sided tape would you use?
Can here to ask the same question, did you figure it out?
Links for the screen and tools are located in the description.
That’s helpful, thank you!
Perfect work
Thanks a lot 😊

Do the screens or parts need to be reprogrammed or is Microsoft okay with third party repairs
No programming needed or required, just plug and play
My Surface Pro 7 plus laptop just fall down Itihaas seen a minute damage on the plastic body what can i do sir🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 please help me🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Io devo cambiare solo il display e complicato
Dude get a heat mat
This was painful to watch. All of Microsoft products are a pain in the ass
That flex cable that is more towards the middle of the screen, it has a metal cover over the connector, does anyone know how remove?
Im replacing the screen on an sp7, this is the 5th i have replaced. It gets easier. If anyone is on the of replacing it themselves, go for it!
Looks like a "hack" job. I wouldn't recommend anyone try this method!
What would you recommend then
Microsoft wouldn’t fix this, they would make you replace it
Pretty standard repair of a broken display, bub
That ^^^
