A two pound hammer sounds about right for fixing one of those. Do they carry it?

I haven't looked at the newer ones, but the original Surface devices were notorious. Literally made of glue, and impossible to open without destroying the luxury fabric material they used. If your device ever needed servicing then large parts of it had to be sacrificed and replaced, before fixing the actual fault.
Hopefully the newer ones are a lot better.
