Microsoft Surface Pro 8: Tastiera guasta, come ripararla?

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 09:44:35 -0700

Buongiorno a tutti, oppure buonasera.

Sono un felice possessore di un pro 8 versione 1983. Purtroppo da qualche settimana la tastiera ha deciso di abbandonarmi e nonostante varie prove empiriche non ne vuole sapere di tornare in vita.

Grazie alla gentilezza di un commesso di una nota catena di elettronica ho potuto constatare che il problema non è il pro 8 ma la tastiera, infatti ho collegato un'altra tastiera al mio pc e la riconosce perfettamente.

Leggendo in giro ho scoperto che presto o tardi (più presto che tardi) succede a tutti, forse a causa del cavetto piatto alla base della cerniera che, a furia di chiudere e riaprire, si spezza.

C'è qualcosa che posso fare io senza ricorrere al centro di assistenza oppure all'acquisto di una tastiera nuova?

Sono molto grato per qualunque aiuto, e ringrazio in anticipo.

Microsoft Surface Pro 6: non si accende più dopo agioramento windows

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 05:30:24 -0700

dopo sostituzione batteria, con quella venduta da ifixit il pc mi ha richiesto un aggiornamento dopo averlo eseguito, tutto ok, ad un certo punto ha iniziato ad avviarsi in modo strano rimanendo bloccato come in foto.

ho provato a riavviarlo forzatamente(come letto dal sito microsoft)ma rimaneva bloccato lì, fino a che non si è più riavviato.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4: Problema sostituzione schermo Surface Pro 4

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 17:01:02 -0700

Ciao a tutti, ho bisogno di aiuto nel tentare di capire qualcosa in questa stramba situazione. Sono possessore di un Surface Pro 4 acquistato 8 mesi fa da un privato (garanzia scaduta a Dicembre 2019). A gennaio 2020 (che fortuna!) mi cadde il tablet e lo schermo presentava degli aloni bianchi ma con touchscreen perfettamente funzionante, così come tutti i pixel.

Portai il tablet in un negozio di zona per farmelo riparare e, dopo lunghe attese, ecco il casino. Mi contattano dal negozio, dopo aver ordinato lo schermo di rimpiazzo del surface pro 4 dicendomi che, dopo averlo smontato si erano accorti che, in realtà, il mio tablet monta lo schermo del Surface Pro 5 (con esattezza il 1796). Non sanno come sia possibile, per di più lo schermo montato (quello del 5) è proprio originale Microsoft, non sostituito precedentemente.

Inoltre mi girano anche la foto dei 2 diversi attacchi del connettore del 5 (montato sul mio) e del 4 da loro acquistato per la riparazione (nel caso potrei allegarla).

Di conseguenza, a tal punto, sarebbe necessario inviare indietro lo schermo del 4, prendere quello del 5 e procedere alla sostituzione. Ovviamente mi si chiede un contestuale aumento del prezzo sul preventivo inizialmente concordato (dai 180 ai 230…quindi 50 euro di differenza).

Ora, da inesperto, secondo voi è possibile una roba del genere? E se si, non ci sarebbe un modo per poter chiedere una delucidazione anche alla Microsoft per un errore di costruzione?

Microsoft Surface Pro 5: Do I need to change wifi antenna assembly?

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 11:24:25 -0700

I replaced the battery and while opening up the screen, I tore off the wifi antennas from its assembly. However, the wifi still works after putting it back together.

The one thing I am confused about is, on this model, the antenna do not connect to anything on the motherboard, or am I mistaken?

There is a little metal piece on the bottom of the assembly (3rd pic) which connects to the motherboard but that piece does not attach to the antenna whatsoever.

I have attached some photos of what the antennas and the assembly look like in my case.

Thank You in Advance!

Microsoft Surface Pro 3: What is the version of my LCD screen?

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 12:14:04 -0700

Hi everyone,

The touch screen of my Surface pro 3 was broken so i tried to take off the touch screen from lcd but I did not succeed to save the LCD. So now, i try to buy a new one but i don't know the version of my lcd because I inconveniently threw the flex cable between the touch screen and the motherboard. So, is there anything i can do to know the version of my current LCD ?

Microsoft Surface Pro 7: Login Screen is coming in black

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 15:58:41 -0700

My job has this Surface Pro 7 and I turned it on earlier and it worked just fine, got logged in and everything. Now when I try to turn it on again I encounter the same problem everyone else has when they try to use this Surface. It starts up with the windows logo then loads into a black screen and plays the start up noise. I cannot get it to show me the login page at all. If I hold the power button while its on it brings a page that says slide down to turn the Surface Pro off.

I reset the thing and it pulled up the bios screen and everything so its clear that Windows and screen are working besides this one hiccup on the login. I just connected a mouse to it and the mouse even shows up. So for some reason its just not loading up the login page from the looks of it.

I was tinkering with my surface, and then put everything back in place, but just as I turned it on after putting the screen back it has large digital tears. My screen doesn’t seem to have any physical cracks or damage on both the front and back. What do I do?

Also, I recently ordered the adhesive for it so I can glue it back together, I’m waiting for it to arrive

Microsoft Surface Pro 8: FPC flex cable, Microsoft Surface Pro Signature

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 09:00:05 -0700

My Microsoft Surface Pro Signature keyboard suddenly stopped working, I tried several software solutions and nothing worked. Then I proceeded to disassemble the keyboard, and I found that the internal flex cable was damaged, as it had very small tracks, it was impossible for me to reattach them, and I ended up damaging the flex cable even more. Integrated in this flex are the backlight tracks, signal tracks and the tracks that power the wireless charging of the slim pen 2. The flex cable that connects the detachable keyboard to the tablet is broken, therefore the keyboard stopped working completely and it also does not charge the wireless pen. I uncovered it completely, and the flex is completely separated from the base of the external connector of the keyboard that is inserted into the tablet. I would like to know where I can get the schematics for this connector, know how the flex is connected to the connector pins, how the keyboard backlight is connected and how it is connected to the keyboard motherboard. or if anyone knows the function of the 6 pins of the connector, or if they could help me with some other solution. Please The FPC cable contains the following numbering: "MFS M1110070-012"

Microsoft Surface Pro 8: Reuse Microsoft Surface Pro 8 keyboard?

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:38:49 -0700

I found this keyboard in an e-waste bin. I believe it's from a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 or 9. Visually it's identical to this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surfac.... The model number is 1864. But I don't have the laptop that came with it.

The connector has 6 contacts. I suspect it's a USB HID interface, although the touchpad could be I2C. Before cutting it open (which is destructive), I wonder if anyone has some info on the pinout of this keyboard? Thanks.
