Lump in center of screen?

[raqball]

Today was the 1st time using the pen. I was drawing in OneNote and noticed the screen is not flat.

My screen has a large lump / hump / bump in the center area. It's very noticeable when using the pen but not noticeable using normal finger touch and interaction.

Is this normal?

You too are jumping on the "my screen isn't flat" bandwagon? LOL well too answer your question, no its not normal as mine is flat and smooth, maybe you should contact MS for a replacement?

LOL...

Ya I didn't figure it was normal but figured I'd ask. I went online and did the advance replacement thing.

Oddly, it said it would charge a hold on my card for $999 and not the $1299 that I paid for the i5 / 256. Hope they ship me the right SP3.

 

[kundas1]

hmm I would double check! ya never know with MS lol

 

[raqball]

I think I will call and confirm..

You have had some bad luck with your units; legitimately I might add. Don't mean to make a joke of an annoying and serious situation, but could it be that you are too close to Cupertino California.

They did the same when they shipped me an advanced replacement. Seemed odd, but it was the right SP3.

Awesome.. I just got off the phone and she also said that's normal and that they cap the hold at $999.99 no matter which model you have.. So I assume if someone had the i7 / 512 they would also only get the 1K hold..

Kool, glad it's all settled and hunky dorky...

It's cool..

The other was the fan or so the tech at the MS store said. On that one he said the fan was not ramping up.

I would have not even noticed the lump on this one if I had not wanted to play with the pen.

No big deal really. I guess I was just due as it's been forever since I've had any electronics issues. Fingers crossed for the replacement to be the end..

You have to sign in at

https://myservice.surface.com/en-US/Pages/Welcome.aspx

Then select "Problem with a device or cover" after that select your registered SP3 and follow the walk though trouble boxes. After the selection you will arrive at the replacement screen where you choose regular replacement or advanced replacement.
