I DID. They sent me a new one but was told no need to send the old one. I just can't stomach throwing this in the trash. The charger itself and the USB port both still work well. ps. I stripped it just to know how many wires really are coming out the charger going to the SP3 as the connector...

I cut the wire connected of my SP3 Charger because the tip frayed and would not charge anymore. It is still delivering the 12V out so the problem lies somewhere in the frayed section near the magnetic connector. I bought from Amazon Marketplace (from China) this Outtop Power Bank Charge...

I have an i3-256 and the Microsoft wireless video adaptor. I can watch online movies and project it to my TV with no issues. Lag is non issue at least for watching movies. I live in an apartment with easily over 20SSIDs on scan. I can project also anything through my Asus Windows 8.1 laptop...

Just for information purposes only. I got this router two days ago and it gives a rock solid connection. No connections drops or issues whatsoever. I was also able to successfully set-up VPN from this router. It is unfortunate that this router can only do either OpenVPN and PPTP only (though...

Mine either develop the yellow streak or I just became aware of the issue because of this forum. In any case, I went to Microsoft Store in Yorkdale Mall in Toronto to have it replaced. Took some convincing the repair advisor to have my SP3 i5 256gb replaced. The replacement, however, has the...

Just a quick flow on my experience with this SP3. Wifi Limited -- eventually solved with updates. Bluetooth Sound Jitters with Keyboard and Mouse usage -- eventually solved with updates. BUT a new problem emerges now. My WIFI will disappear after a long sleep and I need to restart or rescan...

my setup, SP3 256mb, Sony Bluetooth Speaker, Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Dlink EA4500 Router. Internet provider Teksavvy. With Bluetooth Speaker, Mouse and Keyboard connected, and streaming music Mp3s, it does not have any effect whether to download speed or the local network. Not single jittery...

My SP3 256 overheated and shutdown by itself while doing this update. The very first time I saw the dreaded "thermometer". Surprised that after cooling down and restarting, all the updates were successfully installed including this optional update. Seems all is good now.

I just noticed the same in my adaptor and exactly in the same area. I called Microsoft and was requested to send picture of the fraying portion. MS will send a replacement adaptor. Definitely, this is a manufacturing defect as my Surface Pro 3 stays on my desk most of the time and just plugged...

With due respect especially with Ctitanic's, I would suggest you go for i3-64Gb and just get the cheapest 64Gb microSD if cost is a consideration. Once you think of going to i5 - 128Gb, you are headed to a very slippery slope. The next model is actually very attractive compared as it has double...

Im using Apple BT mouse (, Apple BT Keyboard and Sony BT Speaker simultaneously). No issue whatsoever.

It shows as SRS-BTM8 - Connected.

Is it possible to increase the length of time for CONNECTED STANDBY? I know I will take a hit on battery life but it will be more useful for me to have my SP3 on connected standby. Thanks for those who could provide answers.

I am using my SP3 with Apple BT Keyboard but with a Apple BT Mouse. My SRS-BTM8 works fine (even the mic function works fine with Skype). Just to let you now it is compatible with SP3.

Yes, it has definitely replaced my laptop. I never imagined how important and useful a touch screen and pen-based writing with detachable keyboard laptop would be. NO, it has not replaced my Ipad though.

After the July 16, 2014 hardware update, SP3 and Linksys EA4500 are now fully compatible with each other both at 2.4G and 5G mode. Not a SINGLE incident of WIFI Limited after sleep or any other issues. Doing a battery rundown test to see if WIFI will act up. Now at 15% battery and still no...

I am not a fanboy though I am really fanatic about by Ipad and Imac. I am using Windows Machines for work due to specialized software. I love this SP3 for those times. Back to router, do you experience wifi not connected properly (ie WIFI Limited) upon waking up with Airport? July 16 hardware...

Got the July 16 hardware update. I let my SP3 sleep (30 mins) and upon waking up WIFI is still connected at 5G using Linksys EA4500. I hope this finally resolves the WIFI Limited issue.

if tomorrow's firmware update does not solve this WIFI Limited, i will get a new netgear router. It appears that Netgear Router is more compatible with SP3 Wifi module. Thanks Strollin and Roach for the info. ps. i really like this SP3 despite its seeming incompatibility with Linksys routers.

Please list what router you are using and whether or not you experience WIFI Limited. Linksys EA4500 --- Wifi Limited at both 2.4G and 5G Dlink 506L (no 5G)--- Wifi Limited at 2.4G Dlink 506L on repeater mode --- Wifi is perfect, no problem connecting on wakeup. Thanks. note: setting...
