Does the battery in your Microsoft Surface drain quickly, does the device shut down on its own, or is the casing starting to bulge? Battery replacement in a Surface is one of the more demanding repairs we carry out at our service centre in Warsaw — the inspection is free and takes 5–15 minutes.
In short: replacing the battery in a Microsoft Surface is one of the more complex repairs, because it usually requires dismantling and unsticking the screen. We carry out this repair using specialist separators and experience working with this equipment. Current prices can be found in our price list.
Our experience repairing Microsoft Surface
A Surface can be fully disassembled, but it requires the right tools — at our service centre we have separators and specialists who know how to safely unstick the screen without damaging it during disassembly.
Why battery replacement in a Surface is more difficult
In terms of difficulty, repairing a Surface is comparable to a MacBook, and sometimes even harder — in most models, to access the battery you first need to unstick and remove the screen, which carries the risk of damaging it if done by someone without the right experience and tools. An additional complication is that the Surface is less popular than a MacBook or typical Windows laptops, which means access to original parts can be more limited.
When you’re looking for a Surface battery replacement
You usually come to us when the battery in your Surface drains quickly, the device shuts down on its own despite being charged, the casing or screen starts to bulge, or the Surface has stopped charging.
Symptoms that mean you should contact us
- The battery drains noticeably faster than before
- The Surface shuts down on its own despite showing a charge level
- Visible bulging of the screen or casing — this is an alarm signal
- The device won’t charge despite the charger being plugged in
- The Surface gets very hot while charging
In terms of repair difficulty, the Surface is comparable to a MacBook, and sometimes even harder — to access the battery, you need to separate the screen, which is risky without the proper tools.
