Well, I have just experienced the secret blinking orange LED light inside the right vent of my SP2. I've been playing Attila Total War for a while, then checking my facebook for some minutes. Then I put the device to sleep. Then:
1. The screen would not turn on;
2. Type cover's light turns on when I hit it;
3. The LED light of my external HDD is still on;
4. There's a blinking orange LED light inside the right vent like a bomb-timer. It made my heart explode like ****
I've done 2-button restart - not working; kept pushing the start button for 1 minute - the same; then I removed everything attached to the device (type cover, external HDD, charger) and pushed the start button for 1 minute and finally it worked.
Well, fortunately it worked as nothing has happened, and the blinking orange light disappeared. But I wanna raise a serious question here: What the h*** has just happened to my device?
I've experienced an would-never-turn-on and phantom touch SP2, and got a replacement from Microsoft that i'm using now (thanks for that). But sometimes the phantom touch visits me again, and now I have blinking orange light. And guess what - I could not find on the huge Internet any answer to any of those - the dead device, the phantom touch or the orange light. The only thing that exists is some tricks. Microsoft never tells us what's what, so we never know whether it's a simple issue or not. I'm so bothered by the fact that those pains in the *** could visit me one day, especially the never-turn-on symptom.
I'm not living in the US, so I hate it when I have to send the device back to the US and wait for a replacement for some months (because we could not send and receive goods from abroad safely and directly). And now I'm planing on buying a new SP, but even the luxury Surface Book got the same symptoms and Apple could not offer anything I like. Such a dilemma.
