    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Yes, still going strong. No problems whatsoever. Only tackle it if you have an eye for detail and confident taking electronics apart though. It's one of the harder repairs to carry out.

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Managed to buy a broken base (usb and battery not working) from a standard model and removed the keyboard and put into my performance base. Not easy, but it's working fine and was successful. For anyone interested. Remove all the keys. Get inside the base unscrew everything, take the graphics...

    Will do. I might see if can buy some suitably sized self-tapping screws just in case too.

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    OK, many thanks. I have a keyboard base from a standard Surface Book and am hoping to try and remove this to fit into mine with the Performance Base which is thicker. I've removed the black plastic backing and refitted and keyboard works fine still, so appears is just a liquid barrier. What a...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Hi Luca. What method did you use to remove the rivets? I have a keyboard to remove from a broken spare base, to fit into another. They are difficult to remove I find? thanks.

    Something running in the background on my Surface Book at precisely 20 second intervals automatically opens Start Menu as if you've pressed windows key and little Volume slider as if you've clicked on volume button top of screen. Volume drops -1 each time it opens until volume is eventually at...

    Settings, Edge, Action Centre won't open

    I'm returning it, thing has so many Windows 10 bugs, it would take weeks to investigate and fix. Amazed it gets through the whole install reset off the recovery partition, yet is so fundamentally broken once running and actually successfully boots as if all is normal? Think i'll go back to...

    Settings, Edge, Action Centre won't open

    I should probably explain, because I can't access Windows Settings as it doesn't exist, I can't use the Factory Reset from within Settings > Update and Recovery. I have to reboot and install a fresh install using Shift Key & Clicking Restart at login screen.

    Settings, Edge, Action Centre won't open

    Fresh Install, but new Surface Book won't open Windows Settings. Other issues that seem related - can't even use right click on desktop to get into Display Settings, as I get an error saying ms-settings:display doesn't have an associated program. Cortana won't respond/open any Microsoft native...
