    Hi! Thanks for this video.
    What I am about to say will be considered as off topic but there is a thin connection actually. I did some tile replacement in a bathroom in the past. I used a source of heat to loosen the glue behind the tile. Then what I did was to apply a limited force to lift the tile, limited in intensity but constant/steady over time. The glue will eventually yield. In this case of an LCD screen, it is important to apply this force not on the glass itself but on support behind it. I don't think that more than 70'C is necessary, most of all if you aim to the glue. I am not saying that this is the good technique in this situation and you can use it at your own risk. I won't be held responsible for any damage. I am just saying what I would do if I had to do this operation. Eventually, I will have to do it.😖

    I have a question. My surface 3 is the model I have and is it anything like the surface pro 3 as your fixing and at that I'm pretty sure it a battery issue cause it won't turn on unless plugged in and at that it has to be a certain way in for it to charged like antennas for a old tv to get reception or like how one has to be gentle with an nes system and it sensitive ways. I hope this is clear. Thank you in advance for you help and consideration. P.s the warranty went out, long ago; the company doesn't fix them as I was told no more; & I went to school for computer support technician so I understand it can be done but I just wanna alittle advice or guidance if possible or procedure, again thank you!!!

    Don't even think about it.
    Even if you buy this device, 95% of users will have a broken screen.
    Out of 5% of successful users, 95% of them will cut their wifi cable or Ntrig flexible cable.
    It's very easy in the video.
    But even if you apply heat to the screen, it is difficult to easily insert a plastic card and move it.
    The black glue doesn't let go that easily.
    And it is normal for the plastic card to get dirty due to the black adhesive attached to it.
    I bought a used Surface Pro 3 in 80-90 pieces on eBay.
    It was imported and sold.
    The 20-piece crack screen was replaced, but even the crack screen was difficult to remove because of the adhesive.
    I bought various tools to remove the screen, but to no avail.
    Only people who don't care if the screen is broken can open the screen.
    If the battery swelled and the screen opened naturally
    It is very easy to repair.

    Did any of you replace the battery when you had the Surface Pro 3 no start issue? Mine just stopped working and will not start when using forced start, etc. If so, did replacing the battery solve the issue? Such a nice bit of kit, it would be a shame not to keep it working.

    • @WPXTacoMan477
      @WPXTacoMan477 2 года назад

      I mean, you should be able to power the surface with the charging kit at least, even if the battery can’t hold any charge.. haven’t had this issue yet at least, I’ve got a weak battery that dies with about 20 minutes of use from what says a full charge, but I can always run it with it plugged in.. if in your case you didn’t at least notice the battery life dying early on than I would suspect it’s not the battery causing a no power fault. Also I’m assuming depending on your charger quality weather or not it might not power due to dead battery, though my charger is a knock off with the connectors held together with hot glue to keep the exposed wires from breaking their solder connections within the connector, still works for me so I doubt that a cheap charger wouldn’t work but it’s at least a consideration

    Getting the screen off undamaged is critical to this operation. Removing the screen on an MS Surface is difficult and would-be battery installers should really think twice before attempting this job.
    I'm against vloggers such as this one who remove the screen prior to videoing the process, then pretend to do it for real while the camera is rolling. This one is a prime example where the screen almost falls off. Warning to all - This is NOT THE CASE. This is the part where you wreck your Surface because the glue is so strong that you severely risk cracking the screen while attempting to remove it. Disregard this easy-peasy screen removal video. Once the screen is removed the rest falls into place but the first step is the hardest. BE WARNED!!!

  • @jed2055
    @jed2055 3 года назад +2

    MY feedback: This video looks like many where troublesome screen has been removed before the video then it is easy peasy to remove it a second time with camera running.
    The fixer hardly used any force and at one time seemed to be pressing down to give impression force was needed to push plastic card up screen. To all interested, don't get too excited about going it alone after watching how "easy" this one seemed.
    I KNOW screen removal is a VERY difficult task made more difficult when a large screen with more flex can EASILY crack plus you can scratch or dent your Surface case if you do not use the exact tools seen here or get frustrated when it isn't coming off as easy as you imagined.
    Best to give yours to a professional and let them worry about it or are you going to buy all those picks, torq screwdriver set AND a $70 heating pad so you can break your Surface? Good luck.

    • @WPXTacoMan477
      @WPXTacoMan477 2 года назад

      Yes I agree, but at the same time, did you try this yourself? And if so, did you heat up the screen? and what method did you use if so.
      Ive done similar repairs on phones and lesser quality tablets and I used to use a hair blow dryer to try and heat it and had difficulty removing the screens but once I upgraded the heat source to using a heat gun from the hardware store that gets much hotter I’ve yet to come across any adhesives I couldn’t get hot enough to manage a safe screen removal.. not as easy as this video makes it appear to be, but less damaging at least.

You need a lot of patience and proper tools. If a person is not comfortable it is always good to seek a professional technician.🙏

      @@DIYGeardo as I was attempting to get my screen off, I had one corner up, where at least the adhesive bond had been separated.. but as I got to the other corner , working wit plastic cards, thin picks, and a thicker wedge/pick to hold up the other corner, it broke. Completely cracked across the screen and the second corner busted and a few small pieces came out. Lots of heat was used, heating pad to bring the entire screen upto temp, followed by focused heat localized to the current work area and immediate surrounding area. No excessive force was involved in any way shape or form. Was using a sharp edge of a very thin plastic card to go under and cut the adhesive, no prying involved, but it still broke. I like to think I’m a very capable technician with many many similar projects under my belt, but something about these surface pro 3 screens are just super sensitive and I didn’t even finish removing the screen. It was later evident that even slightly excessive heat was used to the point that the screen has a very slight discoloration when in use, so I don’t think it was a lack of heat.. I sum it up to manufacturers fault, as far as serviceability aspects are concerned. But who am I, a avionics technician for the navy, two aircraft maintenance associates degree holder who does similar stuff for a living and on the side for business and personal entertainment to make any such claims? 🤷‍♂️ haha not worth the cost of a new screen, and will be left alone to preserve functionality even if I have to deal with a bad battery..

  • @bid0u12345
    @bid0u12345 Месяц назад

    I tried, it wasn't hard at all but I broke the screen anyway (not broke like the glass broke, but I damaged the connector which created a big black spot in the corner and the touch doesn't work anymore).
    For those who wanna try: DO NOT start where they start in the video. This is the worst part where you could start, because the connector is right here and you have like 5mm between the screen border and the cable. You can start in any other corner but not that one. In my opinion, now that I've done it, the best part to start is where the screen has holes (are those speakers holes?). Use a plastic card like they did. You heat up to 90° and go for it. If you get stuck, heat up again to 90°. The glue is not that strong. It is strong, but it is the kind of glue that is "squishy", not hard so it's really easy to go around once you're under the screen.
    Be very careful in the corners, when you move around the corner, use your palm to push down the screen to prevent any damage.
    And don't forget to FINISH by the corner where the connector is, this is the most sensitive part and if you've already been around everywhere else, you won't even have to 'cut' the glue here as there isn't much glue anyway, just gently open the screen.
    But once gain, do not start where they start. I think they faked the opening and started here but in a real scenario, you wouldn't start here (and I did, that's why I broke my screen).

      Now I have another issue: The new battery shows 0% and doesn't charge. And even with the old battery, it shows 76% but doesn't charge either. For both, if I remove the power cable, the surface turns off instantly. Still, it sees the battery and the battery reports are fine.

      Only reason I’d think you can’t get the bios password is if the person who sold it to you has reason to not share the password, such as a transaction dispute. I also don’t think anyone smart enough to get to the point of setting a bios password wouldn’t realize the severity of setting a bios password, let alone forget it.. it’s trash without the bios password
