Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Open the kickstand
- Make sure your Surface Pro X is turned off, and laying screen-side down on a soft surface.
- After turning off your device, make sure to remove the SSD from the Surface before starting any repairs. This will disconnect the battery and prevent damage to the device.
- Lift the kickstand to at least a 90° angle, so that it is perpendicular to the Surface’s screen. The further you open the hinge, the easier it is to access the SSD and SIM card door.
