Hi John: PITA, you will have disagreement from me. The last note book I took apart had a good 40 screws and 8 different sizes and that was just to remove the back. I always lay a sheet of graph paper out on the desk and draw and number all the holes given the associated screw codes, making note of the disassembly order as there is no standard and try to remember to pay special attention so as not to lose those little plastic wedges. I would like to think that these new tablets should be at least as serviceable as any cell phone.

None of the are easy to do anything with. Although they are serviceable notebooks are a big PITA to work on too! -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 2:50 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Repairing the Surface Pro Hi All: Here is an interesting article on the difficulties of repairing your Surface Pro. You wouldn't be taking it apart to add new memory, batteries, hard drives or even just cleaning out dust from the ventilation ports. How bad is it?...It is being compared to the Ultrabook which has been called the most unrepairable piece of equipment on the market. http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/cracking-open/difficult-to-repair-surface-p ro-built-more-like-an-ultrabook-than-a-tablet/938?tag=nl.e101&s_cid=e101&tta g=e101 This article might be well worth saving for those purchasing such a product.
