Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Screen
- Begin by using a heat gun or the iOpener (This will take longer.) to melt the adhesive all around the outer edge of the screen.
- Avoid holding the heat gun too close to the Microsoft Surface 2 so as to not cause any unwanted warping.
- Avoid touching the metal end of the gun. It will be very hot and can burn you.
- Insert the opening picks just under the screen and black edging. Be sure to place them evenly on each side.
- Using the gap created by the picks, slowly pry the screen from the body of the Microsoft Surface 2 with a plastic opening tool. Pry as uniformly as possible.
