Here’s the Summary of iFixit Surface RT Teardown,

• Several components are modular and replaceable without requiring desoldering.
• You can remove the battery pretty easily — once you’ve suffered through the opening procedure.
• It’s pretty difficult to remove the rear panel and gain access to the device.
• It is impossible to remove the keyboard connector without first removing the display from the frame.
• LCD and glass are fused together and strongly adhered to the case, increasing cost of replacement.
• You’ll have to use a heat gun and lots of patience to gain access to the glass and LCD.
