Great adhesive work one of the best I have seen so far!
Hmm, a bit misleading for folks contemplating this task that you don't mention the fact that the wifi antennas are merely copper strips attached to stickers, which are stuck to the front of the plastic header in the top center, which the screen adhesive is then stuck over top of. It is nearly impossible to remove the screen and its adhesive without destroying at least one of the three antennas there because the adhesive for the screen is a whole lot stronger than the adhesive holding those antenna stickers down. They're going to want to come up with the screen.
As is evidenced at 1:26, where it can be seen that the two antennas to the right of the camera are missing from the header, but can be seen still stuck to the back of the screen you just removed - Oops!
But then without mention, all three antennas are miraculously in their proper place @ 2:45 ;-)
Just a heads up to anyone considering tackling this, you will almost certainly damage one or more antennas. Replacements can be had on Amazon or Ebay for $30-$40. Just something to keep in mind when doing your risk/cost analysis.
Hey King, I think you dropped this 👑
Better just dont fix it, or even better.. dont buy it!
Best SP4 screen replacement video on RUclips. The others are like an hour long
Skilled craftwork is always a pleasure to see and this guy is obviously very diligent and efficient. Thanks for posting it (the client in my case decided to discard the old PC instead, thank goodness, since I don't think I could pull off this quality of repair, even allowing that I just have a swollen battery I can't get at without removing the screen).
you say he knows what he is doing, he commented to be careful on the antenna area and he still ruined one side antenna as they are on both sides of the camera, his clean up of the old glue is good yes, but not very good screen removal
@@ricky6366 I definitely stand corrected!
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.
beautiful job
amazing work .................
Hi great video! Need help though with some questions
I need to fix my bf’s surface pro 😱 screen acting weird it have been cracked but like just a tiny bit on the bottom area & now the unit just doesnt respond properly cause it thinks something is pressing on the screen here are my questions
1-What type of adhesive tape is needed any particular ?
2-the alcohol thing you have been pouring on the edges can it be 80% alcohol like sanitizer ones? Or is it a special type just for electronic? What is it for? For cleaning? Diluting the adhesive? Or...?
3-Can i use a hair dryer to heat the screen at the beginning?
Thank you for your help
Very good visuals, and your detailed work with the adhesive tape was as good as a surgeon. Excellent demo!
Nice to know why it costs so much to fix it, and will consider sending you my broken SP.
Same here
I try to put the screen back on but a red light comes on, did I put in the wrong wire?
damn man, great job!
Do i heat the edge of screen after to make the tape bond?
it looks easy, yeah just the way it looks, but thanks this's helpful!
The service is already included on the screen itself?
im tying to repair a surface book 2 screen. what adhesive should i get?
Hello, could you tell me what you use to remove the glue from the double-sided strip, that little bottle of liquid and a needle to apply it? Thank you
Great Video and advice on how to get this repair made. When removing the adhesive on the top, A super thin copper looking connector came off. It was located just to the right of the lenses. Does anyone have a part number so I can order one and replace it? Got everything done well on my repair and then that happened. Ughhh thanks for the assistance and great video again.
This video wins the award for Most Annoying Soundtrack In The History Of RUclips. Well done!
Im having hassles taking the existing screen out. Any hints or tips? I don't want it breaking in pieces
Hey bro, what heading pad is that or do you recommend anything? Thanks for the video btw 👍
Could you tell me what is the average price for a screen replacement and a battery change for a SP6?
How much do you charge for the service and the screen? thanks.
My device turns on (keyboard backlit turned on but the screen is black. When I hook up the external display, nothing comes up either. Hard and soft reset did nothing. Can the problem be the screen too? Is it worth it to send in for a repair?
Hello when I replaced my screen the touch stopped working can u help me.
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.
Just a quick tip: If you (or a friend) has a 3D printer, use the printer's bed heater to bring it up to 75C to heat the screen for easy removal. Did it tonight and it worked out great! Works just like the heater in the video.
That's thinking outside of the box!!
hey good idea!
Nice video on removal ans installation. One would have to be more careful in removing a non damaged screen. Also, I didn't see how you repaired the damaged corner, it was pushed in a few mm. How did you do it?
Neat work best one
They have these replacement screens now for a little over $100 on ebay, I have the i7 surface 4 pro. Is the screen quality going to be the same as original with these knock off screen replacements?
can you write the URL to buy adhesive tape ??
Please, can you tell me how to know screen type: with board or not
Can this solve the screen flicker issue?
i need to change my battery. can you reeplace it without broken screen?
Dear sir,
Please share with me online store link where I can buy windows surface tab parts like ( screen )

Where is the best place for me to buy a screen for the laptop pro 3
From where i can buy touch screen?
I'm a technician the screen removal isn't the hard part. Just be extra careful around the camera where the wifi is, cause it's just a sicker basically and easily rips. I bricked mine removing the battery tho so be extra careful to put something between the logic board and the battery connector and I would recommend discharging your battery as much as possible beforehand. but if you are just removing/replacing the screen you should be ok if you have did repairs like this in the past.
Does changing the screen get rid of flickering? Or its a hardware isseu ??
I think I killed two surface pro 4's while changing the screen though everything seemed to come off easily. One gets a faint light the other stays pitch black. I tried the holding down power button for 30 seconds and also holding power button + volume up for 15 with no luck. Not sure what I may have done as I was extremely careful prying the old screen off. Maybe held the heat gun on there too long? It will not work with either screen connected. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much, is that normal alcohol (the liquid) or etilic alcohol
I use 94% denatured alcohol
Nice video! after watching this, I now know why it costs $280! By the time i purchase all the pre-req's for installation plus screen, it's about that. And the fact that I will have to buy screen twice as I will for sure damage it the first time I try to install it.
You are fucking useless then
@@neal5186 pretty much
What kind of alcohol are you using?
Had surface pro 3, had to replace battery after a software update stopped charge battery , when they fixed the problem after years, they did not even notify public.
Now I have SF pro 4 , after one week , I have to replace screen after flickering , also have to re-image the disk after it asks for bitlocker-password, all work and docs lost .... If you buy products from them, recall to also buy tool-set, heat gun and spare-parts so you can finish off the work their engineers started
I bought a replacement glass and followed your instructions however it seems the middle area of the glass does not respond to touch commands. Is this due to a bad glass? Thanks and great video!
did you ever sort this out? have the same issue
what adshesive tape to you recommend, i just use the standard art and craft one, and it not properly shut.
TESA Tape 1mm
My surface pro 4 has developed a white light spec on the screen whenever Its turned on, I can see it on a white background. What do u recommend I Do?
It could be a pressure issue from behind the screen. If its not too bad, you may get by using it the way it is. Otherwise, the screen would have to be removed/replaced to see what the issue is.
Absolutely every Surface garbage has this issue, but they still get away with it. Send it to warranty, demand money back!
The problem with my unit is that it has a bad ssd. So, I tried to use a heat gun and suction cup to try this but the screen just cracked. :(
I dont know what to do.
Change your screen maybe? xD
You need a special heating pad like what the shop uses to spread heat to all part of the frame of the surface pro. Heating gun does not work.
You made it look so easy that I want to repair my own. NOT! Great job though.
What adhesive tape did you use mate ?
After exchanging mine the touch doesn't work anymore, even on the broken one I exchanged. Does anyone have an advice?
Make sure all the wires are connected properly? Either that or the new LCD you got has a faulty digitizer.
Good to know if my SP3 ever breaks, there's someone out there willing to go through the painful process of tearing it down to fix it. These devices have such a high repair difficulty rating, it makes me want to stop buying the Surface line of products.
I wish i could contact you for repairing my Surface pro 4.
I replaced my Pro 3 screen, battery and ssd and it all works perfectly.
@@edwarddolezal559 jesus
@@edwarddolezal559 How did you bring across the system state on the SSD did you just do a fresh install?
If the digitizer gets broken, the touch tablet is gone. The good news is it will still work as a normal non touch laptop. Its not like Microsoft couldn’t build a rugged touch digitizer because I’ve dropped my iPad occasionally, nothing is cracked and everything still works! Microsoft should be ashamed of itself for building a fragile product that can’t stand up to normal wear and tear.
What kind of glue was used?
I did what you have showed but the surface didn't work.
Thanks. Have a SP4 with heating problems and thinking that accessing fans and inside for cleaning might improve it, which of course means removing the screen. Appreciate your video, but it would have been nice to have some commentary on specific details of what you are using and any warnings, etc., as you go along.
better to change it for a SP5 screen
If I ship you my Surface pro 4 and provide a SSD how much will you charge me to fix the digitizer and swap the ssd?
I tried to change the SSD myself and in doing so I cracked the screen.
Thats common with these. Getting the screen off without cracking it is near impossible
@@rood6616 Terrible design
I changed the screen on my surface and it doesnt work. The surface works with an external monitor but never recognizes the screen. What can I do?
Maybe you received a faulty screen.
amazing job...
What is tus the small bottle with the needle?
Alcohol (IPA)
What parts/tools are needed aside from the new screen
A controlabl heating table or heating mat with digital readout. Plastic guitar picks, thin edge pry tool, empty cardboard jewelry box, denatured alcohol dispenser, 5mm and 3mm double faced tape, metal sludge (used to remove original mid frame adhesive) two 7 inch long plastic pry tools used to suspend new screen above mid frame in order to center screen prior to installation. 90 degree angled tweezers come in handy too.
What did you use to get the adhesive to come off so easily??
They used alcohol.
I followed this tutorial and the display looks good in the end but the touchscreen feature does not work, why could this be?
check the side flex cables on the LCD you probably didn't insert them all the way.
How do I know which lcd screen to buy? What is the difference between LCD screen with board and without board?

where can I purchase the adhesive tape, my screen is not cracked the side came loose and i need to reattach it
any word on the tape?
@@theboy181 I found it on Amazon
Why do you was carefully removing the broken screen
If you going to install a new one ?
The broken screen on the back has multiple parts still attached to it.
Im very desparate. My sp4 glass cracked. Touch and all functions are still working though. But I live in the Philippines and there are no service centers here. My only chance is to let my fiancee bring it to you because she works as a flight attendant. But her flight is only in new york. Can you help me or at least give me options or advice? Thanks and great video 😀
I will/can repair any domestic tablets. So, if she were able to ship it while in the US, we could work something out.
Did the glue not spill out a little bit at the speaker?
No, I trimmed the adhesive around the speaker.
was it replaced because of the flickering issue???
I don't know what to do with my SP4 now with its nonstop flickering screen! Help?
SP4 has this unsolved problem, i ve changed to a SP5 screen and solved the problem!
@@TravelerNi Unfortunately yes. I switched to SP6 now and it is working fine.
Surface 4 sometimes has a hardware defect which causes the screen to shake and flicker. Is replacing the screen a valid solution?
yes but use a pro 5 screen and adaptor cable
wow great. My surfacebook 1 screen just developed two small yellow streaks on both sides. What is going on and how much will it cost to repair. Thanks
it's probably over heating, lay it on a flat surface and check to see if there is also a bulge or not... Chances are your batteries are gone bad and are inflated.
It could also be delaminating - I got a single yellow streak on the left of my Surface and after a few month the screen began to bulge ( again on the left ) where the yellow streak first appeared. As best I can tell the yellow streak disappeared after the screen began to separate from the frame.
"alcohol" is isopropylic alcohol??
Is it the same price to replace the screen on a Pro 7? I have one now that just came back in from an employee that needs to be replaced.
@@JoshuaGanttPhotography Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know why it's $70.00 more for the Pro 7? Is the screen more expensive?
can i know the artist's name who created this music pattern?
It is listed at the end of the video.
Question is the replacement screen a Samsung or an LG and is it a pro 5 screen being used to replace a pro 4 screen?
Thank you for the video, now I know for sure I cant do it myself 😂
:)
does the pen still work?
Yes
Is that bottle full of alcohol?
Does the display look worse than the original screen?
no, replacement is an original screen
Is that a mat you used to heat the screen? Can you give an Amazon link?
This appears to be the mat that he used during the video: goo.gl/2AbWgQ
What you did with the corner?
Oleg Grigorev thats adhesive
is the cost of the screen replacement including the new screen, or is that $300 plus the cost of the screen?
i ve paid $200 - service plus screen
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.

@@TravelerNi how, can you help me as well. ideally I want someone to do it for me as I live in india and my sp4 is with my sister is in Seattle.
What two tapes are you using
tesa tape
I currently use Tesa Tape
Adam Wilson....3mm and 5mm double face tape available on either Amazon or ebay
Is it possible to replace just the glass? My lcd still works
Not possible because the Glass is called the digitizer and its fused to the LCD.
Kelvin Le thanks so much

Good video but too fast
Fuck that!! I ain't doing that shit myself
Why do you have the video sped up so much? Things like disconnecting the two cables behind the screen for example - showing how to do it would have been helpful. I rather have a video at normal speed vs. this. I can always fast forward if need be.
