Attempted to do the firmware update and had high hopes that it would improve my AC WiFi, which currently only connects at 173Mbps (using a Netgear R6300 with DD-WRT).
I had tested in the weekend with a Dlink AC Router at my inlaws and it connected at ~650Mbps. So I was keen to find out if the firmware would make my connectivity better.
Install looked to go fine, rebooted as requested, and everything seemed install fine outside of the dreaded Thermometer icon (I have a i7 256GB). Ran Windows update again after first reboot, and it appeared there were a couple more updates. Upon reboot from the second set of updates, the device bricked itself - it wouldn't move past the Surface Boot logo. I can get into the BIOS, but it wouldn't proceed past this. Tried numerous methods including the vol up + power button, then vol down + Recovery USB + power button. Absolutely nothing is making it do anything. Anyone got any brilliant ideas?
Put a service order in to get the device replaced, but it's going to take a week before I get it. Being based in Hong Kong, it gets sent to a service centre in Mong Kok and you do an Exchange at the service center.
