Assessing the Screen Problem:
Before proceeding with the replacement process, assessing the problem with your Surface Pro 9 screen is essential. If the screen is cracked, displaying lines, or unresponsive to touch, it’s likely that the screen needs to be replaced.
Tools Needed:
To replace the screen on your Surface Pro 9, you’ll need the following tools: a replacement screen compatible with the Surface Pro 9, a small Phillips screwdriver, a plastic prying tool or guitar pick, adhesive strips or double-sided tape, and heat gun or hair dryer for loosening adhesive.
Preparation:
Begin by powering off your Surface Pro 9 and disconnecting any peripherals or accessories attached to the device. Place the Surface Pro 9 on a flat surface with ample workspace to perform the screen replacement.
Removing the Display Assembly:
The first step in replacing the screen on your Surface Pro 9 is to remove the display assembly. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to gently warm the edges of the display assembly, softening the adhesive that secures it to the device. Once the adhesive is loosened, carefully insert a plastic prying tool or guitar pick between the display assembly and the device, and slowly work your way around the edges, gradually separating the display assembly from the Surface Pro 9’s frame.
Disconnecting Components:
With the display assembly removed, you’ll gain access to the internal components of the Surface Pro 9. Before proceeding further, it’s crucial to disconnect the battery connector and any other components that may interfere with the screen replacement process. Take note of each connector’s location to ensure proper reassembly later.
Removing the Old Screen:
Once the components are disconnected, you can remove the old screen from your Surface Pro 9. Start by loosening the screws securing the screen in place. Once the screws are removed, gently lift the screen from the device, disconnecting any cables attached to it.
Installing the New Screen:
With the old screen removed, it’s time to install the new screen in your Surface Pro 9. Position the new screen in the exact location as the old one, ensuring it fits snugly against the device’s frame. Once in place, secure the screen with adhesive strips or double-sided tape and reconnect any attached cables.
Reassembling the Device:
With the new screen installed, it’s time to reassemble your Surface Pro 9. Start by reconnecting any components that were disconnected earlier, including the battery connector. Once all components are reconnected, carefully reattach the display assembly to the Surface Pro 9’s frame, ensuring it fits snugly and the adhesive seals properly.
Testing:
Before completing the screen replacement process, it’s essential to test your Surface Pro 9 to ensure the new screen is functioning correctly. Power on the device and check for any display, touch sensitivity, or responsiveness issues.
