Introdução
Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in a Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your Surface. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
You'll need replacement adhesive for the battery in order to complete this repair. Strong double-sided tape like Tesa 61395 is recommended.
Applying new thermal paste to the CPU during reassembly may improve the performance of your Surface. If you wish to do that, make sure you have new thermal paste and either high-concentration isopropyl alcohol or a specialized thermal paste cleaner.
There is a significant chance that you may break the unreinforced and fragile display panel during this procedure. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.

-
If the screen's glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass. Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the display until all the glass is covered. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes.
-
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the Surface's screen for two minutes.
-
-
-
Take note of the screen adhesive layout before continuing:
-
These areas only contain adhesive and are safe to cut.
-
The display board and flex cables sit here close to the edge. Cut very carefully and do not insert the pick as deep under the display.
-
Fragile antenna cables lie under this part of the screen. Carefully follow the procedure to avoid damaging them. The adhesive is also the thickest here.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick into the speaker opening on the screen and slide the pick under the glass. Do not press the pick into the speaker grille, as the grille is easily torn.
-
-
-
Rotate the pick toward the bottom of the Surface to slide it underneath the lower edge of the speaker cutout.
-
-
-
Slide the pick down the right edge of the Surface to slice through the adhesive under the screen.
-
Leave this opening pick in the right edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Insert the point of a pick under the display where you just stopped cutting. Do not insert the pick deeper than the edge of the bezel.
-
Carefully roll the pick to the right, pressing the long edge of the pick into the screen adhesive underneath the bezel, cutting the adhesive as you go. Do not slide the pick along the edge of the Surface.
-
Repeat this motion of inserting the point of the pick where you just cut, and rolling to the right all along the top edge of the Surface, until the pick is 2.5 inches (64 mm) from the right edge of the Surface.
-
-
-
Very slowly lift the screen assembly away from the Surface case. If you encounter any resistance, stop and check that all the adhesive is separated.
-
Use an opening pick to cut through any remaining adhesive.
-
-
-
Use an opening pick to pry up one edge of the EMI shield covering the display board.
-
Repeat this procedure at different points around the shield until it is free.

This looks like the most stressful repair possible. It’s criminal how sealed up these devices are. Microsoft seems to be going in the right direction with repair, but this was really atrocious.
Or one can use the Surface Pro without a battery by simply cutting the battery connector pictured in step 51. To do this follow the steps until step 22, then remove the single screw for the heat sink branch that lies over the battery connector, cut the battery connector with a pair of needle-nosed snips while gently lifting the heat sink branch out of the way, continue with steps 52 through 56, and finally seal the cut end of the battery connector with some non-conductive tape and reassemble.
And BTW, you can find replacement antennas on eBay or Amazon if you damaged either while removing the screen.
New battery is in and it seems to charge but windows wont recognize a battery as being installed(even after reinstalling acpi drivers for it). The install itself went pretty flawless so I have no idea how to get it to recognize it. It wont show any battery statistics/status/%. Research seems to show this is a common thing but I have found no solutions. If one is known, adding it to this tutorial would be awesome.
Hello Community,
I replaced my bloated battery in the Surface Pro 5 today using the ifixit guide. Everything went great so far. The device turns on, recognizes the battery. Only the battery does not charge. The charger does not light up when the Surface is turned off. When the Surface is turned on, the charger blinks dimly. The error is not due to the charger, because it behaves identically with the docking station. What have I overlooked? Here a Screenshot of the windows battery report : Battery Report
Thanks!
I have been using my surface daily for the last 4 years. Now with a fresh battery it is good for few more. Apart from an iPhone SE battery, I had no experience with fixing electronics. Took me 10 hours to complete the whole operation. I wouldn't have even attempted the repair if it wasn't for the detailed guide. Thank you.
