The only response I got was when I held the Power button down: the charger light would flash every 8 secs or so.
The screen stayed black and no logo or anything flashed up on it, not once. I tried hotkeys Win+Ctrl+Shift+B, tried Power button 30sec, tried Power button + Volume Up for 15sec, tried Volume Up + Volume Down rapidly together 3 times within 2s, tried various combinations of above methods with charger on/off and keyboard attached/detached. anyway I had the charger in it soon enough, and it seemed to be charging fine seeing as the light was on continuously.įriday was spent trying various methods to wake it up (not including the freezer one, dayum that scares me). Possibly used it more than usual as I'm on an Easter break, and I might've hit Sleep rather than Shut Down the night before, which seems to be the case for other ppl in this thread! I think the charger was connected all night, but can't quite remember. Signing up to share my experience in case it's similar to a future reader, I certainly benefited from not only mikeychen's original post but also some of your replies to OP, THANK YOU!!įriday morning, I woke up to a blank Surface - wouldn't power on normally even though I hadn't done anything especially unusual.
