Surface Pro 7 won't charge...have tried 3 power adapters.
I bought this SP7 about 6 months ago 2nd hand after I started having problems with my SP3. About a month back it stopped charging. And the light stopped coming on when the power adapter was plugged in. I tried another power adapter I had from my SP3 and this also would not charge and the light didn't come on. Then I tried charging with the dock setup that it came with. And this worked. For about a month. Then my daughter turned up yesterday and needed to charge her SP. So I let her use my dock charger. However since then, the dock charger no longer works with my SP7 (this has to be just a coincidence?). I had assumed it must be the charging port in the SP7. So I tried USB C charging. And still no charging. I plugged a USB 2 to USB C cable from my phone into the SP power adapter and into the SP7. Perhaps the power cable was not highly enough rated? But it should have at least slow charged? That charging setup did work with my phone...but it wasn't happy so perhaps too many amps? Anyone have any suggestions before I scrap the SP7 too?Solvedslees3215Sep 06, 2024Copper Contributor429Views0likes3CommentsSurface Pro 3 won't power on
I've had this SP3 from new. It started to let me down 6 months ago. So I put it on the shelf and bought a 2nd hand SP7. Now that's letting me down too. The problem with my SP3 is when you press the Start button, it will not start. Nothing happens. I can't remember exactly what happened back when the problem began. I have 3x SP power adapters and with all 3 the light comes on when plugged in. I've tried all the combinations of keys when starting. Still nothing happens. I hadn't used it for 6 months. Then yesterday after I was having problems with my replacement SP7, I thought I'd try it again. And it started first time. I restarted it and it was still working fine. But then today when I tried to start it, back to nothing. I did not think to check the battery level yesterday. But it all seemed to be back to normal. Maybe it's a failed battery. But whey would it start yesterday after 6 months on the shelf? Other than that I can only assume it's a motherboard or memory issue. Either way it seems like not worth trying to repair now?.Solvedslees3215Sep 06, 2024Copper Contributor328Views0likes1Comment

Surface won't update or open Microsoft Store
Hello community, I have in my hands an old surface that I can't figure out why I cannot update the system nor open Microsoft Store. Operating System: Win8.1 RT Model: Surface 1516 I have formatted the device several times, downloaded a new copy of a "recovery drive for usb" but still nothing (SurfaceRT_BMR_10.8.17.0.zip). Do I need to download certain patch/service pack? Any help is appreciated.SolvedwakaguakaOct 05, 2021Copper Contributor5.2KViews0likes4Comments- Miguel LobatoMar 23, 2017Iron Contributor3.7KViews0likes4Comments
