Microsoft Surface Pro Gen 1: 拆卸硬盘

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 08:31:48 -0700

一开始只是风扇有噪音，后来噪音很大了，有时候会发展成啸叫。
我自己买了风扇准备更换，拆除的时候不小心把屏幕拆裂了，所以我现在只想把硬盘拿出来当一个存储设备用，其它配件就不要了。

Microsoft Surface Pro 7: Still not powering on after battery replacement

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:05:45 -0700

I replaced the battery on my surface pro 7 and before the swap, The charger would double blink indefinitely until it was disconnected, After the battery replacement it blinks 1 - 2 - 2/3 -2 and then stops until I press the power button again, Both before and after the replacement there is a red light that stays on solid on the motherboard next to the SSD, The red light only goes out when I disconnect the battery or have the surface connected to the adapter only, I tried button combos to no avail, The display just stays off and the fan doesn't move either. I also tried multiple different adapters and USB-C charging at 65w.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5: touchscreen stopped working after I connected a Bluetooth keyboard.

Sun, 17 May 2026 07:27:02 -0700

Hi. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 (Model 1796). My touchscreen stopped working after I connected a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard worked, but the touchscreen stopped responding. There was no drop or water damage.

In Device Manager, “Surface Tcon Device” shows a yellow warning sign with Code 10 – This device cannot start. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, restarting, and Windows updates, but nothing fixed it.

Could a Bluetooth keyboard connection cause a driver/firmware issue, or is this likely a hardware problem?

Microsoft Surface Pro 5: Surface Tcon Device cannot start (STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE)

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:55:13 -0700

Replaced battery and screen on Surface Pro 5. After reassembling I powered on the device and started up ok, but a portion of the screen wasn’t responding. to touch. I shut it down and disassembled to check my connections but when I did I removed one of the connectors improperly. This damaged the pins slightly. I was able to gently bend them into place and when I pushed the ribbon cable into it seemed to connect in just fine. Removing the ribbon cable and inspecting the pins again looks ok to my eyes, but when I power on the device there is no backlight, the microsoft logo flashes a couple times and the display goes black. Connecting to a external display shows the device powered on just fine. I’ve checked all my other connections and they seemed fine. I’m stuck looking at the connector I damaged but it too looks like it should be working still. Anyone have a schematic or can at least tell me which ribbon cable provides power (left or right) to the display.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5: Do I need to change wifi antenna assembly?

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 11:24:25 -0700

I replaced the battery and while opening up the screen, I tore off the wifi antennas from its assembly. However, the wifi still works after putting it back together.

The one thing I am confused about is, on this model, the antenna do not connect to anything on the motherboard, or am I mistaken?

There is a little metal piece on the bottom of the assembly (3rd pic) which connects to the motherboard but that piece does not attach to the antenna whatsoever.

I have attached some photos of what the antennas and the assembly look like in my case.

Thank You in Advance!

The touch screen of my Surface pro 3 was broken so i tried to take off the touch screen from lcd but I did not succeed to save the LCD.

So, is there anything i can do to know the version of my current LCD ?

Microsoft Surface Pro 7: Login Screen is coming in black

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 15:58:41 -0700

My job has this Surface Pro 7 and I turned it on earlier and it worked just fine, got logged in and everything. Now when I try to turn it on again I encounter the same problem everyone else has when they try to use this Surface. It starts up with the windows logo then loads into a black screen and plays the start up noise. I cannot get it to show me the login page at all. If I hold the power button while its on it brings a page that says slide down to turn the Surface Pro off.

I reset the thing and it pulled up the bios screen and everything so its clear that Windows and screen are working besides this one hiccup on the login. I just connected a mouse to it and the mouse even shows up. So for some reason its just not loading up the login page from the looks of it.

I was tinkering with my surface, and then put everything back in place, but just as I turned it on after putting the screen back it has large digital tears. My screen doesn’t seem to have any physical cracks or damage on both the front and back. What do I do?

Also, I recently ordered the adhesive for it so I can glue it back together, I’m waiting for it to arrive

Microsoft Surface: charger light flashes and surface wont charge

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 05:54:22 -0700

I was using my surface and it got the low battery notification so I went to get a charger and when I plugged it in the light on the charger flickered and surface didn't charge. The problem isn't the charger (I tested it at Microsoft store). I then ordered a new power plug and opened surface and installed the new one. When I tested it again, it still didn't work. I have tried disconnecting the battery, still nothing. If anyone has any idea what the problem could be, help would be very much appreciated.

Microsoft Surface Pro 8: FPC flex cable, Microsoft Surface Pro Signature

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 09:00:05 -0700

My Microsoft Surface Pro Signature keyboard suddenly stopped working, I tried several software solutions and nothing worked. Then I proceeded to disassemble the keyboard, and I found that the internal flex cable was damaged, as it had very small tracks, it was impossible for me to reattach them, and I ended up damaging the flex cable even more. Integrated in this flex are the backlight tracks, signal tracks and the tracks that power the wireless charging of the slim pen 2. The flex cable that connects the detachable keyboard to the tablet is broken, therefore the keyboard stopped working completely and it also does not charge the wireless pen. I uncovered it completely, and the flex is completely separated from the base of the external connector of the keyboard that is inserted into the tablet. I would like to know where I can get the schematics for this connector, know how the flex is connected to the connector pins, how the keyboard backlight is connected and how it is connected to the keyboard motherboard. or if anyone knows the function of the 6 pins of the connector, or if they could help me with some other solution. Please The FPC cable contains the following numbering: "MFS M1110070-012"
