Surface Pro 4 screens are available on eBay or Amazon. Try to separate the bottom, left and right sides first then you can lift the screen gently and use plastic or wooden separators to prise the sticky tape off the antennae without damage. These are very easily damaged and extremely difficult to get hold of replacements.

Underneath the top of the display are the Bluetooth and WiFi antennae.This isnвЂ™t a problem if the screen is already a write off, but if you want to get it off whole then youвЂ™ll ruin it if you cut these. Using a knife here will cut straight through them. The lower left edge has flat plastic ribbon cables to connect the touch screen logic board to the screen. I use a very thin craft knife initially to get underneath the screen and then switch to plastic or wooden separators once I have enough room to work. Use plastic separators rather than metal if possible.Protective gloves may reduce the cuts youвЂ™ll get if the screen breaks.They are extremely sharp and if they enter your eye you will be injured. The screen may shatter unexpectedly and small pieces of glass may fly into the air. A cavalier attitude here could cost you your eyesight.

The tape also helps to reduce the likelihood of the screen shattering when you pry it apart. This will reduce heat damage to the LCD itself in the event that you do want to re-use it. The Kapton tape will help reduce heat transference onto the LCD itself. I usually put them just on the edge of the bevels and apply enough tape to cover around an inch of the LCD portion of the screen. Cover the inside edges of the screen with Kapton tape.It will look horrible and the buttons may be a lot harder to operate. If you overheat this it will melt and distort. Place some heat resistant вЂKaptonвЂ™ tape over the top side plastic to help reduce the heat transferred to it.The top side of the Surface Pro 4 is made of a plastic material that will melt if over heated. Cooler temperature reduces your risk of being burned. The heat gun should be no hotter than 100 Celsius.You canвЂ™t disconnect the battery unfortunately as itвЂ™s inside. Make sure the device is switched off before beginning. These, in my experience, usually are the precursor to the dreaded screen flickering problem. Dark black lines may also appear across the top of the display. Flickergate is the term given to a problem with the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 whereby the screen flashes quickly, flickering or distorted. If youвЂ™re researching the screen flickering on your Surface Pro 4 youвЂ™ve probably come across articles talking about вЂFlickergateвЂ™ online.

My Screen Is Distorted and Flickering On Surface Pro 4

Have the busted the SP4 drivers in a similar way? If anyone else has any feedback on this IвЂ™d love to hear it. More interestingly though is that this is the standard behaviour under the Surface-Linux kernel because Intel changed the way things work. This makes it relatively unlikely to me that itвЂ™s an N-Trig fault. Now, the really weird bit is this, the pen still works.

So, either my N-Trig has just failed, or thereвЂ™s been a firmware update or something recently thatвЂ™s broken the SP4. My touchscreen worked perfectly until a couple of weeks ago. IвЂ™ve noted that a number of people have commented over the past few weeks that their SP4 doesnвЂ™t respond to touch after performing the routines shown in this post. My screen no longer responds to touch input either. Update: вЂ“ Still going strong, I conclude the screen flickering on Surface Pro 4 is indeed solved рџ™‚ So beware, the touch input digitizer can be affected by electromagnetic interference! When I unplugged the SP4 from the Powerlan adaptor the problem went away and hasnвЂ™t come back. This is a device which enables you to extend your network using the mains system, rather than relying on WiFi to reach harder places in the home.

But I tracked it down to interference from a mains PowerLan adaptor. This is where the screen thinks itвЂ™s being touched but in fact isnвЂ™t. I have had some strange issues with the touch input registering ghost touches. Indeed, itвЂ™s performed as you would expect a device to. The new screen outlined in this article is still going strong 6 months later. The original parts failed within a few days under this sort of load. The back side of the Surface Pro 4 has been almost untouchably hot during these intense usage scenarios. I run Core Temp to keep an eye on the temperatures and some of my video rendering has kept the CPU temperatures at a constant 72 degrees for well over half an hour. IвЂ™ve edited videos and played with very large graphics files using Filmora 9 and Affinity Designer.

IвЂ™ve been using this device now for nearly 6 months. I just thought IвЂ™d revisit this article and give everyone an update.
