Chris hi new to forum i have a first generation surface rt that has a dead battery does anyone know how to strip it down so i can replace the battery. I saw another tear down on this site that shows another surface tablet with small screws visable behind the back stand mine does not have these screws i am lost as to how to take it apart. Chris.

Some models don’t have screws and use adhesive. You’re right, use a heat gun and pry the cover off. Or there may be a easy open tab.
