Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement

Wat je nodig hebt

  1. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Tape the screen: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 3 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Tape the screen: stap 1, afbeelding 2 van 3 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Tape the screen: stap 1, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and be careful not to damage the LCD screen.

    • If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.

    • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the Surface’s display until the whole face is covered.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

    • Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.

  2. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Heat the right edge of the screen: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Completely power off the Surface before you begin disassembly.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the Surface's screen for two minutes.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the tablet warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used for more heat, but be careful not to overheat the Surface—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

  3. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Take note of the adhesive layout: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Take note of the screen adhesive layout before continuing:

    • These areas only contain adhesive and are safe to cut.

    • The display board and flex cables sit here close to the edge. Cut carefully and do not insert the pick more than 1/8 inch (3 mm).

    • Fragile antenna cables lie under this part of the screen. Carefully follow the procedure in step 13 to avoid damaging them. The adhesive is also the thickest here.

  4. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Insert an opening pick into the speaker opening: stap 4, afbeelding 1 van 2 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Insert an opening pick into the speaker opening: stap 4, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Insert an opening pick into the speaker opening on the screen and slide the pick between the glass and speaker grille.

    • Don't insert the opening pick any deeper than the black bezel on the edge of the screen. Inserting the pick too far may damage the LCD.

  5. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Slide the opening pick under the screen: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 2 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Slide the opening pick under the screen: stap 5, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Rotate the pick toward the bottom of the Surface to slide it underneath the lower edge of the speaker cutout.

  6. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Cut through the screen adhesive: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 2 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Cut through the screen adhesive: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Slide the pick down the right edge of the Surface to slice through the adhesive under the screen.

    • Throughout the rest of the procedure, if you encounter significant resistance while sliding the pick, stop and reheat the section you're working on. Applying too much pressure with the pick can crack the glass.

    • Leave this opening pick in the right edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

  7. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 7, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Reheat your iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the Surface's screen for two minutes.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the tablet warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used for more heat, but be careful not to overheat the Surface—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

    • Insert a new opening pick into the bottom right corner and slide it around the corner toward the bottom edge.

    • Don't insert the opening pick any deeper than the black bezel on the side of the screen. Inserting the pick too far may damage the LCD.

    • Slide the pick along the bottom edge of the Surface to cut through the screen adhesive.

    • Leave this pick in the bottom edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

  9. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Reheat your iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the Surface's screen for two minutes.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the tablet warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used for more heat, but be careful not to overheat the Surface—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

    • Insert a new opening pick into the bottom left corner and slide it around the corner toward the left edge.

    • Be careful cutting under the lower 2.5 inches (65 mm) of the left edge. Do not insert the opening pick more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) here. The display cables sit near this part of the bezel and are easily damaged. Once past the display cable area, do not insert the pick past the bezel.

    • Slide the pick along the left edge of the Surface to cut through the screen adhesive.

    • Leave this pick in the left edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

  11. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 11, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Reheat your iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the Surface's screen for two minutes.

    • The adhesive is thickest along this edge, and you may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the tablet warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used for more heat, but be careful not to overheat the Surface—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

    • Round the left corner with the opening pick and slide it along the top edge of the Surface. Stop when the pick is 2.75 inches (70 mm) away from the left edge.

    • The next 6 inches (15 cm) of the top edge of the case is covered by the left and right antennas, which sit between the case and the screen bezel. Follow the next steps carefully to avoid damaging the antennas.

  13. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 1 van 3 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 2 van 3 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Fragile antenna cables lie under the top edge of the screen. Carefully follow the procedure to avoid damaging them.

    • Insert the point of a pick under the display where you just stopped cutting. Do not insert the pick deeper than the edge of the bezel.

    • Carefully roll the pick to the right, pressing the long edge of the pick into the screen adhesive underneath the bezel, cutting the adhesive as you go. Do not slide the pick along the edge of the Surface.

    • Repeat this motion of inserting the point of the pick where you just cut, and rolling to the right all along the top edge of the Surface, until the pick is 2.5 inches (64 mm) from the right edge of the Surface.

    • Once you cut the adhesive over the antennas (8.5 inches, or 22 cm, from the left edge), slide the pick the rest of the way along the top edge of the surface and round the top right corner to slice through any remaining adhesive.

  15. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Open the Surface: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 2 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement, Open the Surface: stap 15, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Very slowly lift the screen assembly away from the Surface case. If you encounter any resistance, stop and check that all the adhesive is separated.

    • Do not remove the screen yet. It is still connected to the motherboard by two cables.

    • Use an opening pick to cut through any remaining adhesive.

    • The flash lens may fall out of the Surface case. Keep track of the lens and return it to its cutout in the case during reassembly.

  16. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 1 van 2 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Left Speaker Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Make sure you have your tweezers and spudger within reach.
