    Just smashed corner of screen - and it needed repairing already - what can I do?

    I hope so, as wookiee is right. There is no way to 100% tell that is what caused it. Although the one saving grace is I sent them an image of which bag the pro was in and I have no way of knowing which bag fell from his care (I only heard it). If it's the same bag, they may try to help me out...

    I am going to lodge something with the hotel as well and tell them to check their camera footage as I know where and when the bag dropped. I still don't know if they will take that as guaranteed proof. But I will try both avenues and see which one sticks, otherwise I am out $500

    Just smashed corner of screen - and it needed repairing already - what can I do?

    Well as an update, I spoke to MS yesterday. The rep was really nice and said as this was not my fault, they will replace it Free. If... they find that the battery issues I was having were not caused by the smash. Obviously I know my battery issues were not caused by the smash, but it's my best...

    Just smashed corner of screen - and it needed repairing already - what can I do?

    REALLY unlucky here. My SP3 battery was degenerating badly over the last 2 months and was going to arrange to get it replaced by MS. Well, today I dropped it (hotel porter dropped it in my bag) and the top left corner of the screen is smashed. Will they still replace my SP3 - or now it's...

    Choppy Video when streaming

    Anyone experience this on the SP3? When I am streaming 1080p video, the stream becomes choppy after about an hour. It's really annoying and happens every time. This is when I am hooking it up to my 4K TV. Does this have any bearing? I have tried clearing my cookies etc and no joy. It happens...

    Thank god they realised how stupidly designed the other one was. My first chord exposed its wired after one trip.

    Poll For those keeping their Surface Pro 3 which accessories are you updating?

    Not from what I can see: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msnz/en_NZ/pdp/Microsoft-Surface-Pro-4-Type-Cover/productID.326748000 Also, had a look at the UK site and, like the US, the SP4 and SP3 cover is the same price. Shocking.

    Poll For those keeping their Surface Pro 3 which accessories are you updating?

    I've just seen that in NZ it's $40 more than the SP3 Type Cover. $239 vs $200! WHY? The US has both covers at the same price

    Poll For those keeping their Surface Pro 3 which accessories are you updating?

    I'm thinking the type cover as well just because of the trackpad and slightly spread out keys.

    Chrome and (to a lesser extent Firefox) constantly crashing

    Has anybody got any other suggestions? I like Edge but its functionality compared to Chrome is lacking and it's really frustrating me. I have looked online and can't find a fix

    Chrome and (to a lesser extent Firefox) constantly crashing

    Anyone experiencing these random crashes on Chrome? Happens more often during YouTube use, but also happens with anything. I uninstalled my previous version and installed the 64bit version, but no resolution. Firefox does something similar. This has only been since the beginning of last...

    Should I Upgrade To Pro?

    I have the SP3 i5, 256GB, 8GB Ram. It's great, but if I had known about the S3 beforehand, I would have bought the S3. I love my SP3, but the extra portability with USB charging when travelling and smaller form factor greatly appeals to me.
