General Safety Precautions
Always observe the following, general safety precautions:
• Opening and/or repairing any device can present electric shock, device damage, re, and/or personal injury
risks and other hazards. Exercise caution when undertaking these activities as described in this manual. Only
skilled IT technicians to whom Microsoft has provided this manual should attempt CRU repair activities. Only
Microsoft-authorized service providers should undertake FRU repair activities.
• Always select and use the appropriate AC power supply for a device. We recommend you use genuine
Microsoft power supply units and AC power cords. A genuine Microsoft power supply unit is provided with
every device.
• Use only AC power provided by a standard (mains) wall outlet. Do not use non-standard power sources, such
as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable.
• Improper use of device batteries may result in re or explosion. Only open the enclosure on a device as
outlined in this manual. Do not heat, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of devices or their batteries in re. Do not
leave or charge devices in direct sunlight or exposed to other extreme sources of heat for an extended period
of time. Doing so may cause damage or melt the batteries.
For additional product safety information, including information about
• Hearing conservation
• Heat related concerns
• Choking hazard/small parts
• Interference with medical devices
• Broken glass
• Photosensitive seizures
• Musculoskeletal disorders
See aka.ms/surface-safety or the Surface app. To open the Surface app, select the Start button, enter Surface into the
search box, then select the Surface app.

8M1179886
Repair-Specic Precautions and Warnings
• Prior to opening device, ensure device is powered off and disconnected from a power supply.
• We recommend wearing protective eyewear as a safety precaution when disassembling/re-assembling a
device.
• Before opening device, always check that an anti-static wrist strap is worn, and work area is properly
grounded to ensure electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe environment
WARNING: It is recommended that an ESD-safe battery cover of appropriate size be placed across
the device to protect the battery from any physical contact or accidental damage whenever C-cover
is removed. Ensure corners of cover are always aligned with the corners of the device while battery is
exposed. If battery cover is misaligned during activities in any way, re-align before continuing activities.
• Check to make sure that general guidelines and ESD compliance steps are followed prior to starting activities.
Refer to Prior to Device Disassembly section on page 18 for details.
• If battery damage (e.g., leaking, expansion, folds or other) is discovered during the C-cover removal process
or if the battery is impacted or damaged during the removal process, activities should cease. Refer to ASP
Guidebook or contact Microsoft directly for proper device disposition.
• As you remove each subassembly from the device, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws)
away from the work area to prevent damage to the device and to the subassembly.
• During all activities (excluding feet-only replacement) check to ensure that no loose articles are on the
C-cover (Keyboard Assembly) or within the internals of the device when reassembling the unit.
IMPORTANT: Remove rSSD (removable Solid-State Drive) whenever C-cover is removed from device.
rSSD removal disconnects the battery from all device logical components for safety purposes. Refer to
Procedure-Removal (rSSD) section for details.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the rSSD has been removed, powering on the device requires that the rSSD and
C-cover FRUs are installed. Refer to Procedure - Installation (rSSD) section for details.
Repair- Cross-reference Documents

is a differentiating characteristic of the Surface Laptop design. Be sure to move to the proper C-cover
reassembly section based on C-cover type.
Procedure installation – (Metal C-cover Device)
1. – Clean out any residual thread locker surrounding the hinge screw holes or just Initial AB-cover Install
inside the screw hole before installing replacement AB-cover assembly. Set the new AB-cover in place in the
device chassis hinge wells and hold in place while installing 2 new outer screws on each hinge (4 total at this
time). Screws should be installed until just snug and seated, and then turned another 90 degrees (1/4 turn) or
until fully fastened.
2. – Turn all 4 screws 90 degrees (1/4 turn) counterclockwise to release the clamp Release Hinge Clamp Force
force from those screws. This will allow for alignment of AB-cover to chassis at a later step.
3. – Connect all 4 display module FPCs into their respective connectors.Connect AB-cover FPCs
4. Tuck FPCs – Using a guitar pick opening tool, carefully tuck the loose portion of the FPCs under the
enclosure lip as shown below. Ensure that the FPC is taut and that there is no remaining slack protruding out
from under the lip. Any protrusions could prevent or negatively impact the re-installation of the C-cover.
5. Touch Calibration Steps – The new AB-cover must have touch calibration performed:
a. to enable device operation (device won’t power on without rSSD installed). Follow steps for Install rSSD
Procedure – Installation (rSSD) section ( ).page 37
b. Temporarily connect the C-cover FPC back on to device main board connector and set the C-cover in
place on the device chassis. No screws are required at this time as the C-cover will be used temporarily
to control the device; see details in Procedure – Installation (C-cover Keyboard Metal type) section (page
27).
c. with software tools to USB connector on device under repair. Connect software tools USB drive
d. to device to enable power on. Connect power supply

e. Power on device – Depress the power button on the C-cover to power on the device.
f. Run software tool – At the device OS, use Windows Explorer, navigate to USB drive and run:
STEP2_DisplayModuleReplacement.cmd. Follow prompts, device will restart. Verify touch by running
nger across screen to check that touch is working.
g. Power off device – Use device OS to power down device.
h. Remove C-cover.
i. Remove rSSD.
IMPORTANT: Calibration Failure – If calibration tool returns an error message that indicates calibration
failure, see AB-cover Touch Calibration Retry section on page 57 for details on how to proceed. This must
be carried out at this time and prior to complete re-assembly of device.
6. – Install 2 new shield lids above the 4 AB-cover FPC connectors by orienting them FPC RF Shield Installation
along the outline of the shield fences.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to install the correct shield type onto the corresponding shield fence. The left-
hand shield has 2 rectangular embosses in the shape of connector heads and the right-hand shield has 3
rectangular embosses.
Prior to shield installation, visually inspect each shield to ensure that shield ngers are not bent such that
they impeded the installation process.
Push the shields vertically downwards onto the fences and snap into place. Ensure the shields are evenly
pressed along the entire perimeter of each fence and that the front shield prongs are pressed rmly
against the shield fence.
7. – Reconnect the left WiFi antenna cable (see illustration below).Connect WiFi Antenna
8. – Install 2 new RF bafes on top of the shield by peeling off the adhesive protector RF Bafe Installation
sheet and snapping them into place near the back of the shields. Firmly press your nger along the top of the
RF Bafe wall to adhere adhesive to shield.

9. – It is necessary to properly align the front edge of the AB-cover to the lower AB-cover Hinge Alignment
device case to ensure step gap between front edges are proper.
a. – Set Display Module to 90 degrees. Shift innermost screw on each side so that the Hinge Alignment
screws are concentric with the circular feature on the hinge.
b. Verify Hinge Alignment – With the screws concentrically aligned verify hinge alignment inserting a
plastic 0.40mm feeler gauge in between the display and chassis (shown by blue arrow). Feeler gauge
should be able to slide through smoothly. If gauge does not t, re-alignment may be necessary.
c. – Turn all 6 hinge screws another 90 degrees (1/4 turn) or until fully fastened. Secure hinge

10. Opening Strength Adjustment (Metal C-cover) – As part of the AB-cover removal process, we will need
to remove the current C-cover steels which are located at the bottom front edge pockets and install new
provided steels.
a. – Take C-cover and remove mylars covering the closure steels using C-cover Steels Mylar Removal
tweezers.
b. – Using tweezers again, remove the closure steels located in the two regions at C-cover Steels Removal
the front edge of the C-cover.
c. – Clean off the closure steel area thoroughly with a cotton swab and IPA. Be Clean Closure Steel Area
sure there is no debris or residue left over.
d. – Install new closure steels about 2mm from the outside edge of the C-cover Install New Closure Steels
as shown in the image below using tweezers.
e. into left enclosure pocket about 2mm from Left Closure Steel Placement single closure steel – Place
the outside left edge of C-cover.
f. Secure Left Closure Steel – Using the back of the tweezers, press continuously and rmly along the
surface of the steel for 80 seconds.
g. Tape Left Closure Steel – Place mylar tape over the steel. Black tape should fully cover steel and
overlap onto the C-cover.
h. Smooth Left Closure Steel Tape – Use Spudger tool to smooth out and atten the tape to secure the
steel.
i. into right enclosure pocket about 2mm Right Closure Steel Placement single closure steel – Place
from the outside right edge of C-cover.
