Storage and power

iFixit says SSD removal functions as a battery-disconnect step for this model's major repairs. The drive itself can be replaced separately.

Charging port

The Surface Connect port and battery have distinct guides. Some guide photos use the 15-inch model, so the 13.5-inch instructions and parts must govern the work.
