Both my type and touch covers have stopped working. the track pads work but not the keys. I spent two hours online with MS last night and they cant figure it out. unfortunately I didn't create a recovery usb from windows 8.0 so cant go down that route. MS will exchange it for a new one if I cant...

Cheers, I sorted the apps. but unfortunately the update screwed up my keyboards which are working. After an online chat with MS last night lasting 2 hours they gave up and offered me an exchange. Sent from the SurfaceForums.net app for Windows 8
