I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one czcams.com/users/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
Before sticking the screen definitively, it should also be said to test all the functionality of detectors, cameras, touch functions, including buttons to make sure that there were no bad manipulations during the repair operation !!!
Thanks for the video.
This is really well produced video.
Yeah, replace the thermal paste, but other than that, this vid is top notch.
Third video I watched on how to do this. The others took a lot of shortcuts that can't be replicated in real life. This is the one to watch.
I just replaced it with a screen that seems to be the same exact one that you used! Good to know there was a video from you guys but I learned about it a bit late. Either way the repair went flawlessly, good work!
SOZ I KILL YOUZ hey! Where did you buy the replacement screen? Does the pen work perfectly after?
The screen company was TechOrbits and I believe it was bought from amazon. I do not have a pen to test but touch and everything works else fine.
I can't believe that you don't change the thermal paste on the cpu. The video was going so well.
I'm technical and I would not purchase an eBay Pro that might need a new battery. And I thought the iPhone or iPad was scarry, this is much worse. Starting with removing the screen which is hot glued onto the tablet.
I really hate how hard they make it to replace the battery on the surface. It could be a solid instead of flexible like when phones had replacable batteries and click into place instead of using a very flimsly cable. It is good there are videos like this as it's very hard to do without them so thanks! No thanks to microsoft for making it this hard though having to remove everything just to replace the battery is very annoying.
Great video, except for not replacing thermal paste and using too much adhesive on battery. If you need to replace it again (if it's defective, for example) you'll never get it out again. a single strip around the edges is more than enough.
Hello, have a question, I replaced the battery for a new one because it was inflated and after I changed it my computer didn't turn on at all, I bought another battery thinking maybe this was the problem and then it still won't turn on. I put the original because it was working normal with this only was inflated but it didn't turn on not even with the original
Same. Money down the drain.
Excellent work, I have a battery to replace so this was a great guide. I was torn between trying to do it with the motherboard still on on taking the board out and I think I will side with taking the board out. I just wish there was an easy way to take an old battery out but I suppose I could just swap the housing over (I have a shell that is dead but the battery is perfect)
Symptoms of dead battery and screen:
- You've charged your device fully, but the battery charge level starts falling in a few minutes, like going from 100% down to 0% in 15 minutes.
- You see that the screen is cracked.
- You've pressed the power button, but the screen is blank.
Great video! Thanks for posting! I would test the screen a second time just before glueing it to the frame
After the old device ran for more than 7 days:
• The device shuts down.
• A low battery warning message displays.
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing. This is going to be a journey.
i love how the esd strap is lose like a watch, in one scene you can clearly see it folded over. lol
One thing I would not recommend is that metal pry bar to open up. The frame is aluminium and will Nick easily as done by a novice. So use a plastic triangle wedger to pry it open slowly. Not to protect the glass screen, but to protect the metal frame.
If you do this, don't use metal tools. You might short out or damage a device. Also wear an anti-static band when handling parts or replacing/removing the shield covers. Lastly, the tool used to cut around the screen edge was inserted to far in. It should only go in about a quarter of an inch.
do you have a video? Share the link..
What a good video. Thank you for that.
How long in real time did this take you to do?
Amazing that the parts are glued like this and nobody is complaining about it. At a Oral B toothbrush or a power cord, the EU is going to make new standards, but a tablett is ready for the trash.
I'm a repair tech myself, good attentional to detail 👍
Thank you for publishing this video. I have a faulty Surface Pro 4 where the battery started to blow up just right after the warranty run out. Microsoft Support dismiss the problem and don't give my any help, so I have to solve the problem myself by buying a battery and replace it myself. This behavior is really unintelligible for me, as a battery that blows up is not just a convenience problem, it is an actual risk and should be attended my Microsoft instantly and without further questions... I'll never spend $1'000+ in a Microsoft Hardware product and would definitely not advise to buy a Surface.
I'm here because I paid them for a replacement and it lasted just under a year. I *will* say that one culprit to watch out for is that MS has instructions on how to manage the Surface Pro's battery life, to not leave it plugged in all the time and not to keep the battery topped at 100% perpetually (a problem plaguing just about anything these days). And so I'm here trying to DIY because they told me I'd need to buy (another) new one after such a short time.
Four hours！ I made it！ TY SO MUCH
so... they didn't apply new thermal paste after remove the heatsink?
he never replace the thermal paste, all that effort to end messing the job
Many thanks for the reminding.
i hope you change thermal paste on the future... people that dont know can commit the same mistake as you
SandPox Thermal paste is overated! Just kidding :)
Replica iPad mini 2
Put it this way, if you are replacing your screen, replace battery as well. If your screen is fine, a battery replacement carries the risk of the screen cracking. Really, Microsoft? This is design?
It is a great design to force you to buy a new one, let the infinite loop begins
Well, they didn't expect the part to fail so fast and yes, they also think you will just get something new in a few years like how the apple product are upgraded.
I believe the new surface pro has more access to replace parts than what they had before (glued down).
Also as a recommendation. Don't get any glass screen. Get the sp5 screen and also a upgrade data cable to go with the screen and to work with the sp4 board. If you get the sp4 screen, you will have the same failure flickering issue in a few years.
Also.. consider upgrading the ssd if you can afford it and also clean up the heat fan from lint and that will demand some thermal grease for the cpu.
@@kito1san You are sure that SP5 screen will work with SP4? I am going to replace my SP4 screen, do not know what is the correct replacement, where to get it. Any suggestion?
oddly satisfying
Why put all the double stick tape back down when reassembling? You are just perpetuating the idiocy of probably cracking the screen due to it being impossibly difficult to remove. It is crazy that a device like this is so difficult to open and repair. I would just put down a few dots DS tape to hold it in place. Also, this is a great video to show why people should refuse to buy these devices that you must destroy trying to open up for service. The only videos of people opening up any Surface Pro I have seen, the display is already cracked, or they crack it trying to pry it up.
Awesome, detailed video! Thanks for sharing, although I seriously hope I'll never need to put the lesson into practice.
I have opened many Surface devices and I directly noticed that this guy totally forgot the fan. It is normally attached to the heatsink. Also as some others noticed thermal paste needs to be cleaned on both the cpu /gpu ,heatsink and new thermal paste applied. In regards to the closure of the Surface, I prefer to apply the double-sided tape first on the case and only then lay the screen over. Better chances to avoid leaving "air gaps". (isolation). That Surface with wouldn't last long but I understand this only a demo. ;)
Great video. Very clear and well produced.
But I don't own - or know how to use - any of this stuff. Also your steady hand is incredible. I don't have the fine motor skills to even attempt this. There would be broken bits all over the place. :)
I get that means this video isn't for me. And that's fine. But I also know Microsoft did not have to make the Surface Pro like this. The screen could have been fitted in several more easily detachable ways. The battery could have been accessible. So for that matter the fan in the i5 and i7 versions of the SP because that tends to go after a couple of years.
But they didn't. So know we need a workbench - a heat gun, some special spatula sort of tools for lifting screen and what-not. ( I do own a lot of guitar picks mind you :) )As well as a very steady hand (something I really do not possess)
Or we can put the SP in the skip as more tech land-fill. Which - sadly - is where mine is now.
whatever happened to the good ol days of just removing 2 screws behind a unit and replacing the battery in 20 seconds.
Exactly! All portable computers manufacturers seem to be moving into the "integrated battery" phenomena. 3 to 4 years later a new battery required and a fancy bill to replace! Could this be described as a massive scam. I think so. Regards.
top vid. i found. Thanks for sharing.
how about the surface pro 5 ? how long does the battery normally hold before its broken ? what are the restrictions to make the battery last forever?
Disclaimer: You will crack your screen doing this. It is almost impossible not to. So don't try this if your screen is fine.
Wish I had seen this comment before buying a replacement battery. Let's try returning the battery now...
@@theRCflyier Just order a new display lol. I'm about to do this for a surface book. Just looking out for displays...
I try to put the screen back on but a red light comes on, did I put in the wrong wire?
Wow, respect, so much patience. I wonder how much they charge for this kind of work. More than what the device is worth at that point maybe? I got a pro 4 my battery life if like 1.5~2 hours now. Just going to wait for pro 7 or whatever and see. Maybe I will just pay someone to replace the battery if nothing good comes out by year end...
Thanks for the very helpful video. But you didn't show at the end of the video that the battery is working - the computer was still plugged in. I received the following e-mail from a local computer repair shop:
"Unfortunately the Surface Pro 4 is one of the few devices that are unrepairable. Once you disconnect the battery from the device, the device no longer recognizes a battery in any capacity. Meaning that the device will only work or be powered on while it is plugged in. This issue is unique to the Surface Pro 4 and there is no work around for it in our experience."
Can anyone confirm that they have successfully replaced a battery in the Surface Pro 4?
The battery works normally.
I did this and replaced the battery and screen. Worked fine after with and without charger plugged in. When you turn it one after installing new battery. You have to wait 20-30 Mins. Leave it on charge. Attach the keyboard and turn on. Screen may still be black - test the keyboard lights come on. Now you know whether the power/ battery is working. I used the keyboard to activate the screen again eventually. This whole process in the above video needs a great deal of patience to do. But its possible. Hope this helps
@@RUPINDRIX I replaced the screen and battery and have been unable to boot the device no matter how long I get it charge. No light from the keyboard. Faulty battery maybe?
@@TheLoganRocha Could be the battery. So either the battery is not receiving power from the mains or the battery is not powering up the laptop.
Just check the process again and ensure everything is plugged inside correctly the screen inputs and battery wires.
And you can always talk to the places you bought the battery.
i cant believe the whole laptop has to be disassembled just for a battery replacement !! such a bad design and costly for the consumer
Manos Protonotarios ? It’s not a laptop. Also, It’s not meant to be serviceable. Think of it as an iPad but running windows
Well, my Asus K53SD from 2012 still gets 2-3 hours on a battery, while it wasn't a true endurance champ back then, maybe only 4 hours. So, what's the point on this, if you need 1 hour to replace the battery once in 3 years, it's kinda worth to have a slim form-factor right? I agree it's much more convenient to have a user replaceable battery... My LG G5 just charges it outside the phone, fantastic if you use it like me and sometimes take photography and filming to the next level, from 10 till 100 percent within seconds! :)
My only gripe with this design is that this is not sold as a tablet, it is sold as a "lap-able" device, with the pen and the keyboard. The whole glue it together and treat it as a device you throw away after something is wrong with it is way too expensive. These machines cost anywhere from 1200 to 2000 Canadian dollars where I live. Same with Apple devices as well, it is too expensive to consider this not a laptop
Very true i had to replace the battery cause it was pushing agenst the lcd to the point where it yellowed presure points. Now i cant find a double adhesive to bond the LCD.
Manos Protonotarios that’s the point $$
You don't actually have to disassemble the main board for the battery replacement, a little over disassemble, but I guess it will work.
I have a good question can the heat sink cause touch screen issues if touches the screen from the inside of the Pro?
Good video as always
Big fan
My surface pro 4 screen got flickering issue, that is a Microsoft design issue. Where can I buy a qualified replacement screen? Is a replacement screen having such issue again after used for some time?
To replace battery, I need to backup my file somewhere else or it won't lose the files while replacing the battery?
my screen is shattered and the battery is old
but holy cow... i have to remove not only the heatsink but the entire motherboard from the case to replace THE BATTERY!?!?!
I mean, i need to replace the screen anyway... but just imagine the normal john doe trying to replace his battery after 5 years because it's unreliable
this is a joke.
Yeah lol I'll be replacing the screen, but I'm kind of scared to replace the battery because doing that has a chance to kill the entire device
Hello, I want to buy an original battery and charger and I do not know where, help me please.
Awesome skill!
Hi, Is it a must to replace the battery along with the screen, whenever the screen broken?
well, while testing the screen he started with the old battery in place so I hope that helps your question
Hi, I have a surface pro 2 where my power button doesn't work. Once you have the screen off is the power button easy to replace or fix?
Does the pen work properly after screen replacement?
Amazing work!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching and support!
Hi! My screen has has ghosting shapes and I read that it's because of the warm of the battery... By the time using is passing, it's getting worse... I mean, it get the corner blue or dark shadow... May changing the battery help solve this? All started with the screen image vibrating... Thank you, and good job
please do a video for the hinges!!! I'm like 60 percent confident I can replace my hinges without destroying my surface.
Just get a case for it
@@Swanlord05 I think you misunderstand. I already have a griffin case and the case isn't relevant to what I'm getting at.The hinges broke and was trying to take my surface pro 4 apart, unscrew the old hinges and replace them with new ones. Because one side has a broken hinge the kick stand bows even with my griffin survivor case( also I wouldnt switch to any other case because its drop proof). The hinge didnt break because of falling it broke because of i opened the kick stand all the way and it gave out. The case doesn't fix that problem. And no I wouldnt use those other cases that keep the kickstand closed. I actually found it easier to just get a newer laptop since microsoft charges 500 for replacement.
I have surfacepro 4 i7 version it gets so hot and screen starts flickring suggest what can i do
You forgot to repaste the CPU with thermal compound ?
Tried this because my battery died after warranty expired. Ended up finding a couple tiny cracks in screen after spending an hour to get screen off. Don’t bother trying this at home, or at least check every once in a while by powering on to make sure you haven’t cracked screen. It’s easy to get impatient, the glue is very tough.
Yes, don't try this at home, skilled technician is required for the operation.
Hm what SurfacePro do you have? the SP4?
SP3. Having done it once, I think there are couple of things had I done differently, might have worked better. I didn’t see the two cracks until I turned it back on. It would take a ton of patience to get it right and I’m a pretty patient person. There is one spot where you risk damaging the connector to the screen if you push your tool in too far; also once you have half the screen loose it’s tempting to start gently pulling up on the screen to loosen it more - definitely don’t do that. You might think you’re not cracking the screen but you probably will.
Ah, quite old model (though 3 years isn't that much), having seen SP3 internals I understand it's quite harder than the SP4. This sort of battery repairs are what worries me to buy a Surface Pro 4/2017, you have to remove everything to get to it & even the guys at iFixit is having a hard-time. Guess that's Surface & Apple for ya, buy once (probably great experience) & don't bother repairing (sad for wallet/convenience).
@@rewatechnology2008okay, so I’m a skilled technician now. Gotta put it on my CV real quick
Awesome. Please i need one of the screen to replaced my broken one and an adapter. Can anyone help me?
Don't you produce those displays anymore? I just can't find them at your site.
We have to change the battery under 25% charge is that correct ?
Hi, i just simply love your videos.. Please make a video on how to add chips on an incomplete logic board of an iphone.. Please!!!!
Just watch iPhone 6s 16 to 64gb and just follow how the chips go on
How do you fix it if there is a dent in a corner... do you have to replace the whole frame? Or do you try to grind it off?
If it is not seriously damaged, you can grind it off.
Does it turn on if the battery is not well connected ? because i trie to change battery and screen but it doesn't turn on :(
Apparently it should, I have read comments that if battery is not properly installed it would only work while plugged in so I think the problem might be somewhere else. I have right now the same problem and even put back the original battery but it wont turn on at all. Could you solve your problem? Because right now it seems my only option is to buy a new one unless I find someone who knows what's the problem
а что по термопасте, её не нужно обновлять после того как оторвал радиатор? всё отлично, но вот здесь косяк
And for this.. the Surface 2 Pro was my last Surface.
hinges seem to get loose.a design error. do i have to take the screen out to fix hinges.? the other guy shows the back off after the kick screw but thats not posible..
I replaced the screen on mine and there is no touch input. I have reinstalled touch drivers, factory reset it and triple checked the display ribbon cables are plugged in right. Any ideas?
Hi I want to know the price of removing the icloud for iphone 6
That screen is done done
How many millimeter adhesive tape have you used. Thanks
thanks! this video saved me from buying a DELL :mad:
Hi, I loved your video, I wanted to ask you a question, is there any way to correct the Surface Pro 4 Flickering Screen problem? Is it a heating problem? changing the thermal paste or swapping for liquid metal would not correct?
Cícero Ronaldo. It's difficult to judge here. You can try change a screen.
ok did all this and now it will not run off battery, only when plugged in?
Can I use a light or a blowtorch instead of the hot air gun?
Try a Hair dryer
Nicholas Logan I used an hair dryer on the surface, it worked.Now I have to remove the remaining glue and put the new screen on.
Paolo Gregorio should be a easy job. I bought 2mm double side tape but think 3/4 mm would be better. Still am sure 2mm will do. And after watching the vid l have ordered B 7000 glue. While am replacing the screen l am also upgrading the SSD. Good luck with your project :)
Use a blowtorch and make a video... not that it would work, but it will be fun to watch what happens.
How to buy display and where??
What's the difference between 001 and 002 on the touch digitizer screens
Do i heat edge of screen after to make tape bond?
Amazing!
thank you very much!!
How is the quality of the replacement screen compared to the original? Is it almost as good or not?
It depends on the detailed quality level. There are many qualities in the market. Original is the best.
What is the difference between 001 and 002 screens
Good job BrO
Wow 200 degree celcius hot air! I saw 77 degree celcius heating panel was used in another video. Really I failed to open up by just using a hot hair blower.
must really suck when you get the whole thing put back together, only to discover that one of the cables wasn't seated correctly, etc.
just test it before glue it toghether
I have a surface pro 4 with cracked glass and flickering issue ... microsoft support is unable to repair it and suggest I replace it with sp5 for $599, but I don't want to replace my sp4, I want to get it repaired ... can someone help me ... my sp4 is in the states.
How much for screen replacement?
but thermal paste at CPU not changed!
• Cracked screen means no video at all.
• Damaged battery means shorter device life.
My surface 4 pro's screen is blurring and flickering after 20-30 minutes of use. Do you have any idea what could be the issue?
@Waleed Khalid The flickering screen is a surface pro 4 design issue, it will happened after used for some time. You can only replace the screen. Not suggest to buy Microsoft product again
You missed the heat sink compound!!
got a Microsoft refurbished one ,lasted about a week ,now flickergate
I replaced the screen & nothing comes up on the new display. I thought maybe I had a bad display so I purchased a 2nd display & ended up with the same results. When I hook up a mini display cable to the surface I can touch the blank screen & see that the screen senses my fingers on the screen but I can't get an image on either of the 2 screens to save my life. Any suggestions? I'm not buying a 3rd screen.
Did you replace the screen to solve a display issue? If so, what is the issue? We need more information...
@@rewatechnology2008 I replaced the screen because it was cracked. The cracked screen was still working when I took apart the surface. I had one of the replacement screens working for a brief second. The only thing on the screen was a red band across the screen then it disappeared. I ordered a new digitizer & 1 of the 2 ribbon cables thinking that might solve the issue & I'm still dead in the woods.
Is your shop based in mainland China or South east asia?
We are based in Shenzhen, China, and have branches in USA and Czech.
Do anybody has an issue that after replacing the screen it work for some time and than some vertical bars shows up?
And if you plug some external display it works only on one display at the time (never both).
Do you know how to change the software of the relacement screen?
Hi, I've accidentally damaged those yellow cables when I was removing rest of glass from around the camera. What those cables are for and where I can get them.
It would be better to message us a picture for the details.
REWA Technology : I found out those are wifi antennas :-( seems I'm not only one who actually damaged them. However this part is not available anywhere :-(
REWA Technology seems it is this part :-( one guy made them from aluminum "X939878"
may I know where I can buy original replacement battery for surface pro 4??
At ebay. Check Genuine Original Battery for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 1724 12" DYNR01 or similar key-word
perfect
Really annoying and impossible to see which screws are holding in the battery when speeded up. The whole point was to see how to get the battery out and that bit was ridiculous.
or... just buy a new laptop. I can't believe the amount of effort involved to just replace a battery. This is a component that is known to degrade over time and yet you need to strip down the entire computer. Why design it so it requires this much work? Great video BTW (less the Thermal Paste).
We're can I get the double-sided tape?
Hi, please visit REWA Online Shop ( shop.rewa.tech ) for you needs :)
i need display and keyboard
what happened with the battery replacement... at the end of the video the battery icon shows the "it is not working" status
It's charging status.
Hi i’ve replced the battery with a new one. The surface can start and everything work. But when i plug in power cable i se clicking on icon battery some Times the message battery not detected and some time “pluged in not charging”.
Why?
Hi Paolo, it might be charging chip issue on the logic board
REWA Technology what you think about the chip on the battery. Might be broken that chip?
REWA Technology hi I’ve tried to put back the original battery and it work normally. the battery is charging.
So finally is the battery defective. I hope the next I’ll receive work fine.
Can B7000 be removed with hot air ?
yes
Thank you!
Yes, about 150℃.
Thank you !
