How long does it take to full charge Surface Pro 4? How can I know the device is full charge without turning it on?


Thank you.

My Surface Pro 4 recently have stickiness problem. When I open an application and minimize it, fade image of the application will remained on screen. I open another application and minimize, the same thing happened. Even if I move the application window, some residue will remained on screen. Is this a hardware or software issue?

This happen right after major Windows update. I ain't sure whether the two are related?

Have anyone experience the same.

My surface encountered exactly as what you described. The surface had ghosting effect after being dropped.
It goes away after reset/reboot, however i noticed that my surface had interpolated dead pixel.
When i open an excel spreadsheet, i noticed several horizontal lines are missing, until I scroll the worksheet.
it's covered under warranty

Have you send for warranty claim? Does replacement unit resolved the issue?

1) do not block the vents

2) do not fry the logicboard with high load

Does running 2-3 instances of Android emulator and load with game constituted as high load?

Damn it, my SP4 have screen shaking sindrome yesterday...
test it again today for 2 hours, seems no more shaking.

I suspected the shaking sindrome is due to overheat (yesterday) but does not appear today since the heat is normal.

Still request for repair yesterday due to my warranty ends today... hopefully they consider it under warranty (since only available option during request apply was repair under warranty).

Don't know what date I can arrange for courier to retrieve my SP4. Hopefully can be set after a week since will be on 1 week vacation next week.

Where/who do I call for RMA?

I noticed recently that my Surface Pro 4 needs to connect to power brick if I don't used it for a week. Is this normal? How do I ensure that it is shutdown and switch off?


Thanks!

Hi.
Did you manage to solve/fix your problem?
I have the same problem with SP4.

Thanks.

Not yet. I don't know where to send my unit for checking/repair.

Is there any authorised Microsoft Surface service centre available in KL/PJ area?
