Introduction

Over time, the rubber feet on the bottom of your laptop can get worn out or fall off. Follow this guide to replace the rubber feet on your Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 (15-inch).

Tools

Parts

Step 1

Close the screen and lay your laptop down with the rear case facing up to access the four rubber feet.

Step 2

Each foot has a recess to help pry it from the laptop:
The back feet recesses are closest to the back edge of the laptop.
The front feet recesses are closest to the front edge of the laptop.

Step 3

Insert one arm of your tweezers into the recess of one of the feet.
Twist your tweezers and pry up to separate the adhesive and unclip the foot from the laptop.
The feet eject very quickly—be careful not to lose them.
Remove the foot.
Repeat this process on the remaining feet.

Step 4

This laptop has two different types of feet. During reassembly, make sure the feet go in their correct recesses.
The rear feet have a single center clip.
The front feet have three clips and can only be reinserted one way.
Press the feet into their recesses to secure them to the frame.
If the existing feet no longer adhere to the frame, remove the old adhesive and apply a small amount of Tesa Tape where the old adhesive was.
