Hi Thorpe, Lorna,
Thanks for posting, and I’m sorry to hear your Surface Pro 8 isn’t powering on or charging properly.
That’s definitely frustrating, especially since it’s just been unboxed.
Here’s how you can check if it’s still under warranty and request a repair
Go to account.microsoft.com/devices and sign in with the Microsoft account used during purchase or registration.
Find your Surface Pro 8 in the list of devices.
You’ll see the warranty status and can start a repair order if needed.
Even though it’s been 1 year and 9 months since purchase, if you bought Microsoft Complete or
extended coverage, you might still be eligible for service.
Before requesting a repair, try these quick steps.
Use a different power outlet or charger to rule out adapter issues.
Force restart: Hold the Power button for 20–30 seconds.
Two-button reset (for Intel-based Surface): Hold Power + Volume Up for 15 seconds, then release and wait 10 seconds before turning it on.
If none of this work, you can start a service request from the same Devices page.
Let us know how it goes or if you need help with any of the steps!
