    • Depending on what component you are repairing, different shields on the motherboard may be removed at this point. For example, the shield covering the rear-facing camera connector has been removed in this step's image.

    • Use a T3 Torx screwdriver to remove the eight 5.5 mm screws securing the front-facing sensor bar.

    • Insert the pointed end of a spudger into the gap on the right side of the sensor bar between the rightmost screw hole and the adjacent screw hole.

    • Lift up the right side of the sensor bar to dislodge it from the frame.

    • You only need to lift the sensor bar so that it is loose in the frame. Don't try to remove the front sensor bar—it is still attached to the Surface by a cable that connects under the motherboard.

    • Repeat the last step for the gap in the sensor bar between the second and third screw hole from the left.

    • This gap is where the sensor bar's cable is located.

    • Lift the sensor bar 90° so that it's perpendicular to the frame.

    • Don't push the sensor bar past 90° and don't rotate it horizontally to avoid damaging the cable connecting it to the motherboard.
