I recently got myself a second hand Surface Pro 2 for work and while the device itself is in perfect working order I've had some problems getting the accessories to work properly. My Type Cover works perfectly; just clipped on and is detected fine and works exactly as promised. However, the Power Cover I got simply will not be detected at all.

As best I can tell the Power Cover was brand new and is in perfect condition from the outside. But something is up here. I have tried cleaning the contacts as MS Support suggests but that has had no effect. I just don't know anything else that I could try but I'd really like to get the Power Cover working if at all possible because I would love the extended battery life.

Can anyone suggest any possible fixes for a power cover?

My LCD screen was broken and I decide to change this one.

After open my Surface, I disconnect the broken LCD meticulously. But any ribbons are perhaps broken because my new LCD doesn't restart!!

Now to change them, I would like to know, what is the signification of differents ribbons between Surface (motherboard) and LCD screen?

Where is possible to find each of them? See on file attached.

I don't find on Ebay...

Thanks to you in advance.

Best regards.

Syl.

just wondering if anyone would happen to know if the LCD and digitizer assembly for the microsoft surface pro is compatible with the pro 2 ??

I have looked around, some vendors selling parts have listed them as compatible, others not. At this point i have been unable to confirm if they are actually coss compatible or not.

Many thanks for any advice offered :)

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Secure Boot Control

Install Default Secure Boot Keys

Delete All Secure Boot Keys

Exit Setup

I am tryig to solve this problem from google search but I failed. Then I tried to make a recovery USB and after that I try to boot the device and I was success. But After that If I try to refresh or reset this PC but it does not work for me. Show some error like The drive where windows is installed is locked or unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing.

How to solve it?

Or I'm thinking to retrieve the data and change to a new device. How do I do it? Should I tear the surface down and get the ssd out of it and plug into my desktop to get the data from it (Does it even work?)

Thanks guys!

Looking at the replacement LCDs available (including the ones that iFixit used to sell), they all appear to be missing a plastic bracket that surrounds the space where the the front facing camera peers out of.

I wanted to ask if a) anyone had any idea of how to swap that piece between displays, or if they knew where to buy a replacement or b) what the effect of leaving it off might be. I suspect it might have something to do with the white camera light that comes on when you turn on the front facing camera.

Any help anyone could offer would be appreciated.

I’ve completed the battery replacement of a Surface Pro 2, tested it to make sure everything works, and now need to stick the screen back on.

I’m uncertain which adhesive to use. Many people in these forums seem to recommend Tesa 61395 or it’s earlier red tape equivalent. Some favor a variety of different 3M tapes. Is Tesa 61395 adequate for tablet screens (rather than smaller phone screens)? Do I need to be concerned regarding the thickness (as in depth) of the tape? Ifixit offers precut sheets of Tesa 61395. However I’m uncertain how big those are, and thus how many I’d need to buy to stick a tablet. Any advice on that?

How difficult is it to remove Tesa 61395 if I need to open the device again. I feel like the ifixit / tesa video listed it’s heat point as something like 200 degrees celsius (far higher than the 60 - 80 I was recommended to heat the Surface Pro 2 screen on to open it).

When it comes to applying adhesive, the consensus seems to be that one should clean all the residue of the previous adhesive off. With the Surface Pro 2 that will be… difficult without specialized products. Is there any concern in using a product like a goo-gone to clean the digitizer or plastic bezel?

Regardless, my thanks for any advice anyone might have, and my apologies for the trouble.

Everything went ok but i damaged the LCD connector in the process. some of the pins are uncovered and one fell off.

that made the touch screen have a midline deadzone.
