Ensure the Surface 2 is completely powered off. Press and hold the power button until the device shuts down. Confirm it is off by pressing the power button again and ensuring there is no response.

Remove the Broken Screen

Use a heat gun or hairdryer to gently heat the edges of the screen to soften the adhesive. Carefully use a suction cup to lift a corner of the screen.
