    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Seems my start button is now functioning after a restart. The 1/22/15 system update has installed twice a day since I installed the W10 preview on Sat. Anyone else getting this update to install repeatedly? After the restart a notification says 'Update Successful' Could it be because I am...

    Cleaning your Type Cover(dirt, liquid,..., coke)

    I did just let the steam rise up the the cover. I would not recommend it but in my experience as a MS Complete subscriber I had nothing to lose. Simply create an advanced exchange and viola, new type cover :)

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    ^^I just tried the regedit hack and I did not get that option to show up in the Taskbar settings window... do I need to adjust anything else? I'd love to get the start menu back

    SP3's Fine Behind: PROTECTED!

    A bit of material science for ya... Metals are conductive, both thermally and electrically. Rubbers and plastics generally act as insulators and prevent heat dissipation. Magnesium has a thermal conductivity of about 156 W/m-K while a urethane based product like a screen protector has a...

    Cleaning your Type Cover(dirt, liquid,..., coke)

    I must try this. I was streaming an Ultimate Fighting event and accidentally knocked over some beer on my type cover. Luckily the cover survived just fine. I noticed a couple keys were pretty sticky so I attempted to 'steam clean' the keys by running HOT water in my sink and just placed the...

    Surface Pro 3 Glass/possibly heat issues

    I also own an i7 256gb and also noticed the same blemish on the screen but was not too bothered by it and decided just to keep it. I suspect it was caused by a plunger of some sort used on the assembly line, perhaps after the oleo-phobic coating was applied.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I have been experiencing the exact same behavior with 8.1 recently. Icons show internet is connected full strength but I cannot load a page. I am also unable to disconnect the WIFI and reconnect... the disconnect button simply doesn't respond. In addition my Pro 3 i7 seems to be booting up and...

    Firmware changes affecting Throttling

    Thank you for the news OP! I also have an i7 256 with XTU benchmarks in the 340-350 range... 350's when I undervolted the CPU and graphics about -60mV. My machine did not seem to like undervolting the processor cache. I re-ran the test and did notice the processor freq was maintained at 2.0 or...

    Exchanged SP1 128 with SP3 256-i7 at Microsoft Store

    I purchased my SP1 at best buy almost 15 months ago. I did not do anything special to get full credit, I just showed the sales clerk my best buy receipt and they did the rest. It is possible MS was more willing to help since I just had a replacement issued and coninued to have issues...

    Syncing Problems Pro 3 i7 256

    Strange, I also had a syncing issue on my i7 Pro 3 which I got 8/8/14... All the progress on the app store games is not recognized. I had a SP1 and when I got a replacement SP1 all my apps maintained the progress I had made. Furthermore, I cannot re-install the FIFA 14 game, one of my favorites...

    3DMarks Scores of Surface Pro 3 Models (i3/i5/i7)

    My SP3 i7 256GB scored P1035 using 3DMark 11. I have connected standby disabled and undervolted the dynamic CPU and graphics. Strange thing is that the driver firmware is not supported so the test in considered invalid... not sure if this is correct but I have the latest driver for the HD5000...

I opted for the 256GB i7 and also threw in the Microsoft Complete bundle (2yr warranty, type cover, sleeve, and office...

    Replacement Units?

    Hello, I was curious which MS store performed the upgrade for you? I just went through the replacement process by mail and my replacement is no longer in working order after only 13 days... I am hoping to get lucky like you have.
