it seems my Surface pro 4 is finally approaching the end of its life cycle: After the battery being completely unreliable for some weeks (works from 15min to some hours, depending on its mood), it now panics regularly, sometimes it won't even start up completely.
It's so sad to see $900-2700 device thrown away just because of the bad battery. New Surface pro 4 battery is $50.
If you'd replace the battery this tablet can turn PDF pages next 10 years.
If yours have i5 or i7 chip it can run normal office tasks, web browsing or Youtube next 5 years at least.
Yes you will need some tools like guitar picks, plastic spudger, small suction cup and source of heat.
Surface pro 4 battery change is well covered on youtube.
