This guide will go over how to remove the motherboard on the Microsoft Surface Pro 5. Since the motherboard is the central part of the tablet computer, it takes some work to get to it. The iOpener is used in this guide, but a hair dryer or heat gun could also be used. See instructions for the iOpener here.

-
To remove the display, first soften the adhesive by applying heat. You can use a heat pad, heat gun, or iOpener. In a pinch, a hair dryer can also work.
-
Steadily and evenly heat the perimeter of the display until it's too hot to touch, and try to maintain that temperature for several minutes.
-
-
-
Use a suction cup or an iSclack to pull up on the glass and create a slight gap between the glass and the metal frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
Slide the pick around the sides and bottom of the display to cut the adhesive. Apply more heat as needed.
-
Separate the top edge last. There are antennas on both sides, so be careful not to damage them. Use more heat or a bit of isopropyl alcohol to help weaken the adhesive.

Hi
I need to buy motherboard for surface pro 5, can I find it? shipping to Iraq?please
whats happens to you? i also need one.
Can you help with the make of the motherboard. My surface is missing the raid controller and it is not part of the package of drivers. Microsoft is pushing for a device replacement and im not convinced my device is beyond repair. The identity of the motherboard will help me identify a suitable raid controller. Pls share if you have info. It will be of great help.
Very thorough like always. Thanks. ifixit.com is a resource that I pull up when doing any major repair to PC or tablet etc. Allows you to waste no time with getting to the right step at the right time. Order of operations is everything when it comes to taking apart a laptop especially due to the way it is assembled in “layers”, for lack of a better word.

Thanks for your detailed guide; without it I’m sure I’d have had much greater difficulty in replacing the battery in my Surface 1796 model.
Being a bit pedantic, could I suggest a couple of adjustments to the order of steps in the process?
For example: Steps 10-15 can’t be done till Steps 29-32 have been done. In the pictures for Steps 10-15 the camera tie bar has already been removed but this removal is described in 29-32.
Also, Steps 17, 19, 20 describe the removal of the SD card slot and connector. Step 18 thus belongs with steps 21-23.
Probably being too fussy but just thought I’d share the observations.
