Just a word of caution. Sending back your Advanced Replacement from MS without sending back the original has proved to be a huge pain in the rump. MS understood why I wanted to keep my original and send back the replacement (fully setup vs. losing a day to setup a temp replacement) but...

My SP3 docked in the MS docking station and connected to the middle monitor via mini-DP to DVI through the dock and to the side monitor through mini-DP to DVI connected directly to the SP3.

Using 5GHx on my Ubiquiti access points as well. No issues connecting or roaming between APs.

Yes, this works very well. I have my main large display hooked to the docking station and then I connect my secondary display directly to the Surface if I want to use it. For my use case, I don't need 3 screens (Surface + 2 external) very often, so I only plug in the 3rd monitor as needed.

Got the replacement, but it will not recognize the docking station. Sending the replacement back and hoping that 3rd time is a charm. Otherwise the new Helix is calling my name.

I had to have my SP3 replaced due to a hardware with the SSD or controller. The replacement SP3 doesn't seem to fully recognize the Microsoft Docking Station. It shows video through the DisplayPort on the dock just fine, but neither USB or Ethernet are recognized. I've tried looking for updates...

Started having EC/BIOS errors today. MS is sending me a replacement.

I really don't have an issue with reinstalling. I used to do it every couple months. My main concern is that I that I may have a hardware issue of some sort that I've just masked for the time being.

Reinstalling Windows 8.1 made the problem go away. I'm really not satisfied with that as a solution since I have no idea what caused it, but at least the issue is gone...

I thought the same but I tried both and neither worked after the refresh of my device.

I just had to reset my PC during some troubleshooting with Microsoft and I lost the option... I'm not sure what is different other than installing the latest update along with a bunch of other stuff through MS Update. It is pretty frustrating when things don't behave in a deterministic fashion...

In the middle of a Windows 8 reinstall now. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to re-upgrade to Enterprise and rejoin the domain. Thankfully my company provides a nice tool to take care of both steps, but it still takes a while.

Mine always comes back in about 30 seconds and there is a corresponding warning in the System log in Event Viewer.

The jinx worked. Still having the issue today. I am working with MS Support now and it looks like it may end up being a warranty issue.

I am optimistic that I have it fixed but reinstalling the SATA driver. In an effort to jinx myself, here are the steps I followed: 1. Download and unzip "Surface Pro 3 - June 2014" driver pack from Microsoft. 2. Uninstalled Intel 8 Series SATA AHCI Controller from Device Manager (check the...

Got a freeze and warning in the log with the SD removed, chkdsk /r didn't find any bad errors but it did cleanup some index entries. Waiting to see if it happens again now. ------------ Log from chkdsk /r ----------------------- Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS...

Sorry it has been a while since I posted... The freeze coincides with an storahci warning in the System log. The message is: "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued. I've removed my SD card for now and I will do a diskchk.

Figured out that it is tied to the following: Event 129 - storahci Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued. Researching causes and fixes now...

Strange, did you take all the updates this week?

Probably old news now, but just in case you haven't seen it there is a setting included with this week's MS Update that does what you are looking for. Open the settings Charm and go to PC and Devices -- Mouse and touchpad Then just toggle "Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected" setting.
