    Solved Broke charging port. Will no longer charge.

    Nevermind, realized I purchased complete warranty plan and they're giving me a brand new one because they don't have any replacements.

    Solved Broke charging port. Will no longer charge.

    Looks like my charger is also broke because it won't charge on the bottom port but my dock charger works on it. Gonna take it to the MS store today to get a quote.

    My SB slipped off the table with the charging cable attached hitting the hardwood floor. I can see the metal contact dented inside the charging port and I think it broke. Now charger won't light up or charge when plugged in. I tried plugging it in my dock charger and the screen just turns...

    Accidentally formatted my SD Card with my OneDrive stuff

    I was trying to create a bootable Windows 10 drive via the Media Creation tool and during the download, I thought it would prompt me to insert my USB thumb drive when download was complete, but it didn't. It just formatted my SD Card (without confirmation) where I store all my OneDrive stuff and...

    Can I take my Surface to Microsoft Store for support if I didn't buy it from there?

    Update: The tech at MS Store couldn't fix it so I went in w/ my old charger and pen and they exchanged it for a brand new one. Also bought the protection plan since I bought it from eBay new within 45 days. Kudos to MS Store. I guess my issue is an outlier because from all the googling I did...

    Install nVidia drivers?

    So the Surface keyboard needs to be attached in order to game w/ the NVIDIA GPU? Why couldn't they just build it w/ the NVIDIA GPU attached to the tablet?

    Should I buy the Surface Book?

    Well when I say light gaming, I don't play any newer graphic intensive games like Crysis. I only play Starcraft 2 and Counter Strike GO which runs on my SP3 but very slow. Gaming is probably the least of my priorities. I need more space, ram, faster processing, and I like the bigger screen and...
