Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ Kickstand Replacement

Before starting your repair, unplug all cables and fully shut down your Surface Pro.

Open the kickstand to about 90 degrees.

While holding the kickstand behind the hinge with your finger, use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver to remove the two 2.7 mm‑long screws from each hinge (four total).

Lay the kickstand down towards the top of the device so it's lying flat.

Wrap your finger in a clean cloth and push both hinges down to about 30 degrees.

Flip the kickstand towards the bottom of the device so it's resting on the hinges.

Firmly secure the device to your work surface with one hand, and use your free hand to pull the kickstand out until both foam tabs slide out.
