Microsoft Surface 3 Kickstand Replacement

Introduction

Replacing the kickstand is one of the simplest things to fix in a Surface 3. However, you will still need to take off the display and remove the battery to fully access the parts to replace.

    • Warm up an iOpener following the instructions found in the iOpener guide.

    • Place the warm iOpener on top of the edges of the screen. This heat will weaken the strength of the adhesive between the display and body.

    • Use iFixit opening picks to wedge under the edge of the screen at the speaker port.

    • This may take significant force. A fingernail might work better for the initial lift

    • If you push straight down near the edge you will go through the speaker mesh and possibly end up damaging your speaker; try to push the pick in at a shallow angle.

    • Carefully try to work your way around the device using the picks, reapplications of the heated iOpener, and luck.

    • If you break the glass on one side you might want to try again starting from the other side so that you have a clean, unbroken, edge on that side.

    • While the glass on this display is not particularly sharp when broken, it is still broken glass and you should be careful with it.

    • If you are replacing the display, or want it out of the way, continue with the display replacement guide steps.

I think I will NOT be trying to do this. To many potentials for something to go wrong beyond your control, even when being extra careful. I do not feel like replacing someone’s device if that happens.

Please can you tell me which kickstand the surface pro 3 64 GB (2013) needs? Is it the same as the surface pro 4 ? I have broken the stand and am trying yo source a replacement.
