Can I replace the SSD drive? (current one is defect)

"the surface book has not got a normal ssd it is pci style ssd so don't buy the ssd before you see what you need . It can be a bit of a pain to get into but if it comes down to chucking it or repairing it give, it a try

Yep, actually I replace the SSD in my Pro 3 i believe it's the similar way on Surface Book

"Hello!

Is it possible to use a hairdryer instead of the ""iOpener""?

If yes, what would be the precautions to take on?

Thanks"

"I also want to replace the ssd and would like to know, if you really have to take out the Mainboard to access the ssd.

In the video they do it in that order but the metal shelf is visible as soon as you remove the screen…

"I have the option paying almost entire device cost as custom fee and shipping, throwing to the garbage bin, or repair it.

Unfortunately, this is happening all around Europe if you buy Americas products. But, you can change it with a new PCIe3 SSD."
