battery

All, SPRO3 working perfectly, then last week it shut itself down for no apparent reason. Cannot get it restarted. Have tried: 1) Leaving on charge for hours (2 separate chargers used that work with other surfaces) 2) Long press on Power button (charge light blinks like its wanting start but...

Hey people, I'm a big fan of the surface range and have both a Surface Pro 3 and a Surface 3 for my son. Now the problem I'm having here is related to the Surface 3 (Windows 10), it has had a light use life during it's first year but now that it is just outside of it's warranty (typical) the...

My surface was working perfectly fine on one day, then the next when i went to unplug it from the wall it shut itself off instantly. The battery registers as 100%. It works fine as long as its plugged in, but instantly shuts off when unplugged, and pressing the power button when unplugged does...

Hi All, I am new Pro user. I always turn off my SP4 when i have finished using it. Is there a way to know once the battery is fully charged without turning the power on? I have read the online help guide and it only mentions loading Windows to let you know. I was hoping that the charger light...

Hi Guys Another post about batteries/charging, I’m afraid! Thanks for taking the time to read the below: BACKGROUND Yest morning, I used laptop for couple of hours in lectures. Went from 100% to 67%. No problem with that – was quite an intense 2 hours of typing / web browsing. I then shut...

Recently got a Surface RT 64 Gig used. Already tested it plugged for a long time, no result. The light on the charger is lit... Hard reset, no success.... Could it be that the battery need to be changed, or something else ??? Thank everyone.

Hello All! I got my Surface Book last Christmas and have loved it every since, despite the bugs of course. Recently I have noticed that it has been dying quicker than usual and I noticed that when I click on the battery icon in the taskbar that battery 1 says "Not Present". That is the battery...

When I purchased my SP3 with installed Windows 8.1, I did a battery report and the Battery Model showed "SDI" Now when I do a battery report after upgrade to Windows 10, it shows "SIMPLO" Same company? or something else?

Hello, I've been trying to play hearthstone on my SP4 but have had some problems. If I play while the SP4 is connected to the AC adapter then I get no problems. The moment I go on battery hearthstone starts to run slow, skip frames and about a minute later I get a windows message saying the...

So here's my story. About 2 months ago I brought a Surface Pro 1 from Amazon new. A couple days ago however, I experienced smoke coming from the outlet of which the Surface Pro 1 charger was plugged in. From the battery pack to the outlet had wires and such coming out of it telling me that the...

I recently aquired a used surface pro from a family member and while I'm not normally a tablet kind of person (I prefer notebooks and laptops) I was interested in it because it seemed to be held to a high standard of performance as bragged by Microsoft. This Surface has had some history. I was...

For some time I couldn't get more than 5hours out of my SP4, so I decided to check what's eating my battery. I made a clean install of W10 and PassMark BatteryMon - UPS & laptop computer battery monitoring software and I would check what is the lowest discharge rate while idling after each and...

I recently upgraded my SP3 Pro to windows 10. I have a 128Gb SD card in the slot for videos etc. Now the sleep sucks. Drains overnight. So am I reading this sleep study right? Is the USB device listed my SD card? This worked FINE under 8.1. I have seen others state the SD card was their problem...

The Surface Pro 3 is by far the worst battery powered computing device that I have ever had. Every time that I pick it up, the battery is depleted and it needs to be charged. It doesn't matter if the SP3 has just been laying around doing nothing since last it was charged, the battery is empty...

My SP4 kept getting hot while charging in sleep mode. Thought I had solved the problem by using the power button rather than closing the type cover to put it into sleep mode. Last night I had it turned completely off, woke up this morning to find it so hot that I had to drop the pen. Since it...

Hi guys, I bought a MS SPro1 recently, with a power cover, but to be honest the battery life of the power cover is far from my expectations, it last less than 2 hours with 25% light and power saver mode (win 10). The CPU is no on high usage, I usually pin it to the front and sometimes it hits...

Hi all, I bought this device about two weeks ago, I love the device but the battery seems to drain quite quickly. I contacted Microsoft surface support and they recommended that I went back to windows 8.1 then go back to windows 10 as there may have been a bad download the first time, I have had...

Hi there! After the TH2 update I recognized a much worse battery life espacially while sleep times on my Surface Pro 4 (i5, 8GB Ram). I read a lot about battery drain issues before but I did not have that issue. But now after the Treshold 2 update it seems to be finally there. I recognize about...

When the SB is running on battery, is it possible for me to chose to first consume battery from the keyboard battery in order to preserve the clipboard battery if and when I detach the chipboard?

Hi, I noticed, that my SP3 looses some percent of battery when it is under heavy load although it's connected to power all the time, examply some time of gaming. I start at 'Charged (100%)' and when I return to the desktop after maybe one hour, the battery-symbol says 'Charging (95%)'. Is...
