Is the battery replaceable on the surface pro 7 plus

Hello,

I also have a surface pro 7+ from a business. With regards to battery replacements, i'd assume it's similar to the surface pro 7 it is based on, where you have to remove the display, shields and heatsink to then remove the adhesive held battery. I did notice that the internal layout on the 7+ appears different to the 7, likely based on the fact of 11th gen v 10th gen, however the process to remove should be similar (microsoft tech on here, do you have an answer?)

Pretty much:

• Remove the display with plenty of heat & a small guitar pick
• Disconnect the display & battery
• Remove screws & clips holding heat shields (be careful, remember where the screws go as i'm sure they are all different lengths)
• Remove heatsink (reapply thermal paste before you reassemble)
• Remove the entire motherboard & all major components (speakers, cameras, all cables etc)
• THEN and only then can you squeeze IPA into the gaps & let the adhesive release
• Lift battery out & place new one in
• Reassemble the way you took it out (motherboard, components, cables etc)

Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions :)

The Surface Pro 7+ (1960, 1961) has the battery connection on the back side of the motherboard. Therefore, battery replacement requires removal of the motherboard. Thank Microsoft for a big step backward from the 7 which uses a conventional plug connector.
