Microsoft Surfaces are horrible, well in terms of repair. I got one from an end user where the screen was totally trashed. Looked like a car ran over it! Before it can be recycled, we need to erase the hard drive. The screens are glued on by some incredible glue! After watching several YouTube Videos, the trick seems to be to heat the heck out of with a heat guy, cut the seem, and about 1/3 of the time the screen survives. In my case I didn't need to be careful, as the screen was already in a million pieces, I just didn't want any glass shards in my hands! Thick rubber gloves were worn.
After many Torx-5 screws, the treasure....a 256gb NVMe SSD drive, that I will stick into another machine and securely wipe.
Here is the results of tearing down an older model.
