Microsoft has started selling replacement parts for its Surface devices in the Microsoft Store, making it easier for owners to repair their own machines.
Available components for Surface products include batteries, displays, cameras, kickstands, back covers, and speakers, among others.
Related Announcing the update, Tim McGuiggan, Microsoft’s VP of devices services, and product engineering, said that while the company has always offered warranty and repair services via Microsoft support, “we have been working to increase repair options by designing products that are easier to repair and by expanding our network of Authorized Service Providers.”
For those willing to perform a DIY repair rather pay someone else to do it, providing easy access to Surface components via the Microsoft Store will be a welcome move. Detailed advice on repairing a Surface machine can be found at iFixit, which Microsoft partnered with in 2021.
