Surface Book 3: MSB 3 isn't charging anymore after pouring coffee over the keyboard

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 07:49:43 -0700

Hello

My MSB 3 isn't charging anymore after accidentally pouring coffee over the keyboard.

The tablet itself is charging but nothing happens when I plug it in over the keyboard even though it recognizes that it's plugged in.

I've already cleaned all connectors with isopropanol and failed.

I even tried to charge it with just one battery (by disconecting the keyboard battery) but also no success.

The rest of the laptop works fine.

Now my question is: Would a battery replacement help? Or could it be still a different problem?

I'am happy for every advice!

Thanks in advance.

Surface Book 3: Rebooting when connected to surface dock locks up

Fri, 10 Dec 2021 07:49:37 -0700

Hey everyone,

Super interesting issue. Previously it would reboot just fine when connected to the dock but now it just stays on the windows/surface logo screen. It reboots perfectly fine when disconnected from the dock.

Any idea what it could be?

Troubleshooting already done:

Uninstalled the surface dock firmware (did not delete the driver) and plugged back in.

Tried to manually update the firmware on the surface dock and I don’t see a version number change.

I’m going to reach out to Microsoft as well but wanted to put this here in case anyone has had this issue before.

Surface Book 3: Surface Book 3 tablet mode -is it completely silent if detached?

Sat, 23 May 2020 23:22:23 -0700

Is Surface Book 3 is it completely silent in tablet mode. I mean when it’s detached from keyboard/discrete GPU? Are there any fans inside screen module? Or it’s just silent by design? So no fans inside screen/tablet module and no noise is possible just by design?

Surface Book 3: Surface Book 3 Frequent Disconnect | Reconnect of Keyboard and Screen

Sat, 23 Sep 2023 19:52:31 -0700

The connectors seem fine, no scratches for dirt. I tried resetting, upgrading firmware, and cleaning connectors. I tried CRC 05103 Cleaner and some DeoxIT D100L Cleaner. Still random and frequently disconnect and reconnects. I could be typing and it disconnects and reconnects it self. If it is connected no mater how hard I try will separate it. If I press the button or short cut screen releases and I can separate it then. The issue is every 2 or 3 minute it disconnects and even when disconnected I can type, but I have to click back in the area because it defaults the cursor to the disconnect. Otherwise the keyboard work and screen works both when connected or separated. Also charging from the keyboard charges keyboard and screen with no issues. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Tablet is i7 10th Gen 32gb ram 512gb drive. The Keyboard is the 1909 with the NVidia GTX 1650.
