Chosen Solution
I read the tear down for the Surface RT and have a good idea of what to expect. But the one thing that was left out was how to separate the Touch Glass from the LCD screen? I just dropped my RT and have cracked the glass and the touch digitizer isn’t working properly (LCD display is fine). I have found a replacement glass digitizer on eBay for a reasonable price, but at the end of the tear down it says: “LCD and glass are fused together and strongly adhered to the case, increasing cost of replacement.” and “You’ll have to use a heat gun and lots of patience to gain access to the glass and LCD.” But I can’t locate a guide on how to separate the two for either replacement. Help?
You need heatgun and some cards to separate. You can watch this guy. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1dhY51GqD2M Good luck …
Hello. If I just buy a new glass and lcd assembly then that would not be too hard to replace correct? At least doesn’t look like it from the tear down?
You don’t have the proper equipment to readhear a new glass to the LCD. You probably also just ordered a piece of glass which doesn’t have the digitizer attached to it. You’re going to have to order the entire display assembly to repair your device.
