    About scratches and warranties.

    Magnesium can't be dyed. Well it can but the results looks sucky. That is why all products using magnesium, are always painted, and they all face the same problem (confirmed with personal experience) I wish Microsoft opt to go with aluminum, that you can anodize, so only big scratches will...

    Type Cover issues after 1.5 years

    I contacted my credit card manufacture which my credit card offers an extended warranty on all my purchases, to file a claim. They are processing it. First time doing this. I am really surprised and I think it sucks big time that Microsoft Complete doesn't cover the keyboard. It covers the pen...

    Type Cover issues after 1.5 years

    I was told Microsoft complete doesn't cover the Type Cover 2... that this is apart. What the heck?! Assuming you don't have your fingers in the way as you fold it on the back (as this will detach it), I do know that Microsoft improved the magnet to make it hold better by putting stronger...

    Type Cover issues after 1.5 years

    Correct. I know that you have no where to type and do things really, but see if the back light behaves properly, and that the arrow keys up and down works. You can tap with your finger on the screen on "Exit Setup" to leave, and it will start Windows right after. That is correct, it is a...

    Type Cover issues after 1.5 years

    Oh, in your case, it seams to be the wiring inside the keyboard that connects to the connector, that is of course, I assume, you tried to clean the connector and Surface Pro connectors as it could be something in between the 2. To be is looks like a hardware problem. The best way to check, is to...

    Type Cover issues after 1.5 years

    The sensor is in the Type Cover. Probably where the middle mark at the top, next to the plug is located at. (just my guess) In my case, I have my credit card adding an extra year warranty, so I might try this if it is not covered under the warranty. My biggest concern is finding a Type Cover...

    Type Cover issues after 1.5 years

    Yea. My TypeCover 2 sensor crapped out. It only works if my device is 90 degree from the keyboard. If I put it on the first or second position of the kickstand of my Surface Pro 2, it stops working. It acts like I have the keyboard flipped on the back. It also happen to be 1.5 years on my side...

    Wifi-802.11N not being used?

    Oh that. It is probably a driver bug or a bug in the Task Manager (if it is on the Task Manager, it is still there on Windows 10 if you wonder, at least so far). As wireless 802.11a works also on 5GHz, (n, a and ac works on that same spectrum, just that wireless a normally does 2Mbps, but was...

    Wifi-802.11N not being used?

    Turn off your bluetooth, does that help? Where are you see 802.11A? It is very strange that your router has the option for wireless a (which is SUPER old, and very uncommon), and N, but not wireless G.

    Surface Tweak Tool for Surface Pro 2 - Release!

    Well here is some sad news. Windows 10 forces the installation of the Surface Pro 2 drivers. There is no way to not have them installed. So what it means is that if you want to use Intel very own latest drivers, Windows update will automatically uninstall them, and install the Surface Pro 2...

    Surface Tweak Tool for Surface Pro 2 - Release!

    So I have made a little discovery. If you install the Intel drivers from Intel website, and discover that you have problems with the Surface Pro switching between headphones and speakers, I have found a workaround fix. 1- Install back the system firmware update again to return back to the...

    Surface Pro 2 - Display Issues

    Yes. The problem is that for some reason, Intel drivers goes and limits colors on the Surface Pro 2, and to top things off, it uses Dynamic Contrast ratio on battery, which doesn't control the backlight of the display, but rather does a software emulation. The problem in software emulation...

    Firmware Update 5/19/15 Issues?

    That was said with an amazing sarcastic tone I detect. If you are pissed that you have a problem, don't be pissed at me. I answered the OP question. If you want to dig into the problem you face, we can do that. I am always happy to. No need to be frustrated at life.
