As its name is implied, Surface Pro has a positive function, which may make consumers feel confused, start viewing Surface around Surface from the appearance, we found: Headphones interface, volume adjustment key, full-size USB 3.0 Interface, the other side is a mini DisplayPort interface, charge port, microSDXC card slot.
After opening the bracket, Surface labeled this device related information: "Surface | 64 GB | Model 1514 | Made In China" In addition, the device is in line with the Federal Communications Commission Part 15 Rules. Half of 64GB storage space is occupied by the operating system. Now start dismantling the Surface Pro, first take the two screws of the fixed bracket using the T5 plum screwdriver.
Since Surface Pro uses a traditional X86 architecture PC configuration, Surface Pro's inside is surprised, Microsoft uses the Intel i5 processor used by Surface Pro to match a double fan's heat dissipation system worthy of recognition. At the same time warning, this 10-point touch 1080p screen on Surface Pro is very difficult to remove due to a large number of adhesions, and it is very difficult to remove, and the use of a dedicated hot air machine is very strong to solve these adhesives.
After a long heating and attempt, we opened the screen, and the black matter in the picture is not tar, although they are very similar to the function, appearance and odor. After opening, the Surface Pro did not have a warranty sticker, and the device did not need warranty to explain the problem.
There is a Wacom W9002 chip behind the LCD screen, and the iFixit website believes that it is responsible for driving the Wacom electromagnetic resonance (EMR) system. In the system developed by Wacom, the grid line embedded on the screen generates a magnetic field, so that the current is induced to form a coil in the vicinity of the handwritten pen, with the pressure and click information, this pen re-feedback position data. Surface Pro's LCD graphics driver is Samsung WiseView N52A2NE, which is the same as Apple iPad 2.
Next, we use a screwdriver to remove 23 screws on the plastic border and remove the plastic border.
After opening the plastic border, we can clearly see the front camera of Surface Pro, although this configured 720P HD "LifeCam with truecolor" camera does not have much to show off, but it is no more than MacBook Air and IPAD. Pre-camera.
Using a screwdriver to unload metal plates on both sides, this work is easier than our expectation, although it is easy to remove the screws, but it carries a "arduous" task, there are two metal boards. 29 screws.
After that, we safely remove the volume bonds and the headphone interface, which is bundled with a strip cable.
We have dismantled the Surface (of course, we did not damage the equipment), then we used the phone crowd and the screwdriver for a deeper dismantling, eventually, the equipment motherboard and SSD we saw.
The Micron Realssd C400 is equipped with 64GB of storage capacity, which can be read at 500MB / s speed to write data at 95MB / s speed, and the entire chip is only 1.8 inches.
After deeper dismantling, we found a Marvell 88ss9174 SSD processor, which was responsible for maintaining the smooth operation of these Micron Flash ICs.
Windows 8 operating system is made of 64GB of storage space, except for more than 30 GBs for operating systems, complete Office suits, original pictures, etc., SURFCE PRO provides users with approximately 29GB of free space. The 128GB version is approximately 89GB provided by the user. Tested, Apple 128GB version of Apple MacBook Air provides 99.5GB free space.
The picture is the exhaust fan of Surface Pro, and the Surface Pro has two small exhaust fan helps the device cools. You may ask, how small the fan is displayed, the picture shows the exhaust fan of Surface Pro and the exhaust fan of the 2011 Macbook Pro and a size comparison of a coin.
Surface Pro motherboard front:
· 8X Micron 2Lei2 D9PXV 4 GB memory, total 4GB memory
· Integrated Technology Express IT8519G
· Atmel UC256L3U 256KB, 32-bit AVR microcontroller
· On NCP6132A 3 Phase Controller
· Atmel MXT1386E Touch Screen Controller
· 3X Atmel MXT154E Touch Screen Controller (same as Surface RT)
· Realtek ALC3230 audio decoder
Surface Pro motherboard Back:
· Intel Mobile HM77 Express Chipset
· Intel Core i5-3317U processor
· Marvell Avastar 88W8797 Wireless / Bluetooth / FM Broadcast Controller
· Novatek NT96132QG46
· 2X Winbond 25x05Cl Serial Flash
· WinBond 25Q64FV Serial Flash
The first picture is a three-dimensional speaker, which is next to the connector of the keyboard, which can be common in Surface Pro and Surface RT, that is, the Type Cover keyboard is cross-compatible with two versions of devices.
This part is disassembled is a power connector and a rear camera. The rear camera is configured with the 720P front camera, so it is never replacing the Nikon D600 SLR camera. The label on the power connector is G, 12V and DET. It also uses top microphones and soft rubber housings, which is conducive to Facetime Skype video calls.
The two ports in the figure serve as the exhaust pipe of the Surface Pro, except for the internal heat, from the top, from the dismantling diagram, the exhaust fan of the Surface Pro can inhale the surrounding air into the device, and force the air in the heat sink. Cool CPU and GPU.
Microsoft did not hesitate to improve the battery life of Surface Pro, which configured "Cadillac" in the battery: LG's Escalade 42 WH battery, the battery is set to 7.4 V and 5676 MAH, compared to the iPad 4 configuration 43 WH battery, Rated 3.7 V. Although high-strength batteries are configured, the Surface Pro's battery life is still less than 5 hours.
Surface Pro's battery uses an adhesive as a screen, and a warning tells us not to remove the battery back cover, we still open the battery with the same way.
Surface Pro's battery is not soldered on the motherboard, SSD is detachable, but removes huge risks, more than 90 screws in the device. Although we support the viewpoint of reinforcement equipment, this number is a bit crazy.
The screen fittings (including a molten glass and LCD screen) are extremely difficult to disassemble and replace, and the adhesive is fixedly firmly securely securely. Unless 100% correctly removed the removal program, it is easy to break the four cables around the screen.
All disassembly is completed, it can be said to be quite complicated, spending for 1 hour to study how to disassemble Surface Pro, which is used to use hot air guns and guitar patch and other tools, which can be described as soft and hard. Talking about dismantling, it is 1. 1 point for Surface Pro repair difficulties. This means that Surface Pro is one of the most difficult digital products. I believe that even if you want to dismantle this product after sale.
So although Suface Pro's battery can be disassembled, the premise is that the user has courage to open this complex thing. At the same time, users who intend to replace larger capacity SSDs should be almost thinking, considering complex wiring, warnings themselves to replace SSDs may bring unpleasable damage to Surface Pro.
