    • Print this off to scale it up to the right size of the surface and mark it up with a pencil.

    • When it is marked up it should look something like the second photo.

    • You need to reverse this image. This is shown with the screen off.

    • You want to use a V bit on a CNC machine to cut it nicer and give it a chambered edge.

    • I used my CNC machine with no WD40 or water to cool it and it cut very nicely. Remember to vacuum the chunks as they come off because they can get caught and puncture the battery.

    • It's also a good idea to put some paper towel in between the clamps and the Surface. Also be sure to have the type cover on so you don't damage the screen.

    • The drive should just lift out, I used a Micro SD card to cover my serial number.

    • Now this is where it gets interesting. you can either try to make the recovery USB from This or you can book an appointment with someone at the Microsoft store and they can make it work and install all new drivers. The only thing they won't do now once you cut it open is replace it

    • Either that or you can install linux on it from www.reddit.com/r/surfacelinux

    Hello, could this be done to replace the fan of a SP3 as well?

Conclusion

There is no going back but with some files and a drill bit you can make a sweet keychain fob that you can engrave with the CNC machine

While this will make a tidy hole, the fact that you can't guarantee shavings won't fall into the chassis makes this riskier than a busted screen. Replacing the motherboard or battery are expensive by themselves, but a shaving that gets lodged into the battery is a fire risk, and lipo batteries aren't known for calm fires

I love this, I think this may be a viable method for replacing batteries in smartphones that are still good but not worth the careful dance around the glued touchscreens. And phones are typically carried in a protective case anyway!
