How Our Technicians Complete Your Repair

Uniform Thermal Separation on Heat Table

The Surface Pro 9 is secured on a 75C digital heating table to soften industrial polyurethane adhesive without thermal-shocking the LCD.

Prying Tool Insertion & Display Lift

Specialized carbon-fiber picks slice perimeter glue, avoiding the delicate Windows Hello infrared camera array at the top.

Safe Swollen Battery Extraction & Neutralization

Degraded battery cells are neutralized, adhesive dissolves with solvent, and new 47.7 Wh cell is secured.

PixelSense Calibration & Pressure Curing

New screen assembly is tested for 120Hz smoothness, pen tracking, and camera clarity, then cured in a pneumatic pressure jig.
