Microsoft Surface Pro 5 Rear-Facing Camera Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to remove and replace the rear-facing camera in a Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
Applying new thermal paste to the CPU during reassembly may improve the performance of your Surface. If you wish to do that, make sure you have new thermal paste and either high-concentration isopropyl alcohol or a specialized thermal paste cleaner.
***There is a significant chance that you may break the unreinforced and fragile display panel during this procedure.*** Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.
