Microsoft Surface Pro 6: Battery problem and internet wide failure to find solution!

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 15:53:04 -0700

I have completed a battery replacement in my Surface Pro 6 and am pretty confident I did it right. I am getting a “No Battery Detected” message and have tried every solution offered by my Google Search.

Fortunately I have not yet fully glued the screen back.

What I would like to understand is if there is a way to test the battery I have installed and if it is charging that uses some kind of meter and doesn’t rely on software.

Thank you

Microsoft Surface Pro 6: Why does my surface type cover randomly disconnect

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 08:33:06 -0700

whenever I close the screen the type cover fully disconnects or i get a pop-up when i open the screen saying that the last usb device has malfunctioned. My current solution is to restart the device and remove the type cover, and reattach the cover when the device powers back on. I've tried cleansing the terminals but the problem persists

Microsoft Surface Pro 6: Battery not detected, works for a while tho

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 11:28:47 -0700

Hello Community.

My Surface pro 6 is not detecting the battery. If it's on and I unplug it it turns off. It doesn't turn on while disconnected. Also the battery icon disappeared and there is no battery driver no matter how many times I reset or reinstall windows or drivers.

If I turn the computer on while plugged then disconnect it while on Windows Logo (booting) it will stay on, I am able to use it normally but there still no battery icon nor drivers and after a while it shutdowns completely.

I am looking for the replacement battery on iFixit but I am not sure if the battery is really the issue or if may be something else like connector or motherboard problem.

If anyone else has had this situation or know of a solution I would appreciate any comment

Microsoft Surface Pro 6: nand fitting on surface pro 6

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 04:20:44 -0700

I have a surface pro 6 which has had the nand chip removed and whoever carried out the removal has damaged some of the bga pads. Is it possible to fit a replacement nand in the second location instead. I have watched a youtube video of somebody swapping nand chips so its possible I think.

Hi here are some photos of the affected bga pads, I am not sure which ones need to be connected as I don’t have a schematic.
