no worries... I've replaced more microslop surface hardware then I have sold. I refuse to sell em.. nothing but ewaste in 6-8 months with some of the most HORRENDOUS support imaginable because... microsoft
I really like my surface pros, have a 2016 one that still runs great even though the battery is starting to bulge a bit. My mom got a non-pro and had lots of issues.
Yikes you do know a bulging battery is a fire risk right?
This. That battery is a fire risk to any home its in.
I know not every bulging barrery is seconds from catching fire....but it's just no worth the risk.
I know someone that lost a family member in a house fire started by failing lithium batteries in a hoverboard.
I didn't know! What's the best way to dispose of it?
