On my surface pro 9 I managed to remove the screen, clean the cooling system, repaste and put it back together without issues, but I can't recommend doing this if you are not patient and tech-savvy.

If the kickstand hinge on a Surface Pro 13 (Surface Pro 9-style chassis) is physically bent or detached, unfortunately Microsoft doesn’t repair just the hinge, they replace the entire back shell, which is why the quote is so high. Independent shops also struggle because the hinge is glued and rivete

I won the surface pro 9 a couple years ago, it’s legit. They’ll email you in the next couple days and you’ll enter some personal info to verify your identity and give your address. Then they’ll send you some tax paperwork you need to fill out and mail back in a relatively restricted amount of time.

Does the fan come on often while it runs hot? Notably since it’s new, your surface pro is likely doing windows search indexing which is pretty taxing. Makes my desktop pc also run hot. Check the task manager (ctrl+shift+escape) to see if windows indexing is using a lot of cpu. After my surface pro 9

I have the same for my surface pro 9. 1.300€ gone after a windows update. Support from Microsoft is on it but they instructed me to do certain things that I already did several times. But no BIOS nor boot menu is accessible. If anyone has an idea this would be highly appreciated!

My Surface Pro 4 was dying a slow death so last month I was looking to replace it. I was deeply disappointed that there are now virtually zero x86 products - So I wound up buying a refurbished x86 Surface Pro 9. I'm writing this post on it and so far I've been very happy with it.

🫢😔 Sorry to hear. I have a Surface Pro 2 that still works and a Surface Pro 5 that still works (though I think it’s on its way out…). Both bought brand new (SP 2 bought as soon as it launchd; SP 5 bought about 4 months after it first launched). I currently have a SP9, and thankfully no issues so far

when my sp7 screen died i looked at both options. a new screen replacement runs around $250-350 from places like ubreakifix or microsoft certified shops. if the rest of the tablet works fine, repair is cheaper than a new sp9 or sp10 which starts around $1000. using an external monitor works for desk

I upgraded my wife from a Go 2 to a Go 4 a couple of years ago. It would be too small for me (keyboard), I'm on my 4th Surface Pro (SP9) and quite happy with it.

This failure mode is real, known, and almost always either: A worn internal spring contact in the pen, or a failing pen digitizer path on the Surface itself. Run Surface Diagnostic Toolkit → Pen Test If buttons/eraser work but pressure = 0, the tip sensor isn’t being read. Try the pen on another Sur
