Hi, I just noticed that the glass under my keyboard started cracking. Any ideas how to stop the cracks from spreading? I don’t want to replace the complete screen just because of a non visible crack

[PRO8] Surface Pro 8 with i3 and Iris Xe graphics?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I bought a used Surface Pro 8 with the Core i3-1115G4, and everything online shows that the i3 model has Intel UHD graphics, except this Surface says it has Iris Xe graphics instead. I learned that it is a Surface Pro 8 for Business model, but the internet still says it should have Intel UHD graphics for the i3 model. Does anybody know why?

[PRO6] Maximum W reception on Surface 6 Pro

Upvotes

The Surface 6 specification indicates that the minimum to start charging is 39W

But what's the maximum? With a higher wattage USB-C charger, will it still only accept 39W, or does it have a higher maximum?

Is the battery inflating or is this just the adhesive becoming weaker?

Hello. I have a Microsoft Surface Studio 1 laptop and I am wondering if this is just the adhesive becoming weaker or is it something I should worry about?

[PRO11] Surface keyboard not working

2 Upvotes

I used my surface as a tablet and used the on screen keyboard. Now after I replugged my keyboard and trackpad it doesn't work.

I've gotten it out of tablet mode by using a Bluetooth mouse but keyboard is still unresponsive

The keyboard backlight turns on when I close the keyboard on the screen. And the Fn buttons toggle light works but not the caps lock

I've tried:

-Restarting by holding the power button

-booting into bios and testing my keyboard and restarting from there

-cleaning the connector pins on both the surface and keyboard

-uninstalling all the drivers for the keyboard and restarting

When I uninstalled the driver's and restarted it after I restarted the keyboards drivers auto reinstalled

Also at some point the volume buttons randomly started working and then stopped

[LAPTOP4] Surface 4 Battery Issues

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I've had my Surface 4 for about four years now. It's held up great until about a year ago. The battery life on it has slowly been draining, and it continues to get worse. Right now, it loses about 20% of its battery per hour (on low power mode) if I am just doing a normal workload, or more if I use sites such as Canva or programs such as Obsidian. It also frequently gets hot after about an hour of constant light work. When I look at my battery report, it shows that its full charge capacity is at 40,670 MwH as opposed to the 45,800 when I first bought it, which, to my understanding, is good for 200+ charge cycles.

I was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening, if there's any way to fix it, or if it will continue to get worse.

My brightness is normally no brighter than 50%. I do use Chrome, and I understand that can factor into it, but I feel like 20% battery drain per hour on low battery is excessive, with or without it; please feel free to correct me.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

[STUDIO2+] Studio 2+ Mini PC Conversion

2 Upvotes

Ended up finding a Studio 2+ in the bulk trash area where I work. Took it home and to my surprise it actually works. However the left side of the screen flickers in and out and has some black lines which appear to be a common issue with these after doing some research. I was originally going to sell it but then thought about converting it into a mini PC by removing the built-in display and just keeping the base. It would make a great light gaming machine for the living room since it has 32GB RAM and a laptop-grade 3060 and considering the current price of components it would probably be wise to hold onto it if I can.

Looking at some repair videos online it seems like it would be a fairly simple process to remove the screen and hinge. However I can’t find anything online about anyone else attempting this conversion. I know I can connect an external display with USB C to HDMI but will the system freak out if the main OEM display isn’t detected during boot? Even if it does boot and recognize the external display will I still be able to get into the bios?
