After many years of my Surface Pro 3 (SP3) being my home / personal computer, I'm about to start using it for business. So I'm looking for a cable to connect the SP3 to a docking station for external screen, full-sized keyboard etc. I'm hoping this can just be done through the "power...

Hi :) while waiting for the new screen to my Surface pro 3, I removed the old and inadvertently ripped the middle of the three antennas inside (no. x894281-001). Its like three yellow strips of conducting tape, and I just wandered if anybody know if they're all wifi, or other signals? (Don't...

Hi, I just got a Surface Pro 3 and love it. Everything works well. I am trying to boot from a USB but I first need to disable secure boot.

I bought a Surface pro 3 with a cracked screen and have been working on replacing it. As I'm sure many of you know, getting the screen off in one piece is a near impossible feat. By the time I had the old screen off I was bleeding, the screen was in many more pieces than it had been and I had...

Is what it sounds like. A few weeks ago, my Surface Pro 3 stopped recording input from the surface pen from the pen tip at all. No tracking, no ink, basically records no input from the pen tip, generally, on-screen as well as within programs including Paint 3D and OneNote. However, the pen...

Hello, I would like everyone to post here Windows Update version (KB.......) which made problems for touch screen. Since I read a lot that when touch screen doesn't work (fingers/pen), Windows Update might be the cause of it and as that I would like to make a tool that will remove those KB...

Hello all. I recently received my brother's old Surface Pro 3 because his screen had become cracked and unusable. He did not want to attempt a replacement so I told him I would take it. Well I bought a new screen from ebay and replaced the screen - The disassembly didn't go so smoothly I ended...

The display on my Surface Pro 3 cracked last May. Not certain why. I decided to replace the screen because what was there to lose? The battery life was about half of what it should be so decided to replace the battery at the same time. Now, while the screen works, the battery is detected but...

Has anyone had their surface pro (expired warranty) fixed or replaced for free by Microsoft after the updates didn't fix the battery issues? I've tried EVERYTHING. And all i have left is to go to a MS store which is 3 hours away and see what they can do, but i'm not willing to pay $450 dollars...

Last Sunday I got up from the couch and left my Surface Pro 3 - open, on the couch. As I was in the kitchen I saw the screen turn black and thought nothing of it. Once I came back to the tablet I hit a key on the keyboard to turn it back on. The screen remained black. I then hit the power...
