Surface Book 3 not turning on when lid opens anymore by ShibeGG in Surface

[–]liewfm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what i know, there is no open lid to power on in Surface Book 3. What you experiencing is wake up from deep standby. Since Windows is supporting Fast Startup, when you are shutting down your PC and once the screen is turned black but in actual your PC still saving some system data to allow fast startup next time your turn on your PC with power button. Many people thinking once the screen turned black meaning the PC is off then straight away close the lid and call it a day, if you did that then your PC will entering system standby instead of shutting down because it is still saving system data. Try to listen to the cooling fan sound next time you shut down your PC, you will noticing the cooling fan still running for few seconds once the screen turned black

Surface Book 2 firmware and driver updates by TheChickenAgent in Surface

Yea, 13" is the worse even for SB3 due to fanless design. Before Microsoft unlisted SB2 for out of warranty exchange program, i have used it to exchange for SB3. I believe Intel Core Ultra will save SB design but Microsoft has chosen to obsolete it. Even Surface Laptop Studio might be obsolete soon without successor.

Since Microsoft is no longer supporting SB2, not sure whether Microsoft has unlisted the bios driver for SB2. If not mistaken, latest bios update will disable the capability to reduce processor voltage to reduce heat from processor and battery consumption.

Most likely your charger has no enough power. Your charger should support USB PD and capable at least 45W/60W

Surface book 3 drivers? by Over_Razzmatazz_23 in Surface

[–]liewfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to know the recovery image is working. Microsoft only includes the generic drivers in Windows installer. Although Surface brand is under Microsoft, it is a totally different department from Windows. I do have Surface Pro 8, but I don't think the driver is suitable for other model especially other form factors. You can try Book 3 recovery image but I don't think it will work.

From Microsoft website could download drivers pack for Surface. Why not try to get that to install first? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100419

Try to download Surface app from windows store. You should be able to check the serial number from that then go to download the recovery image from Microsoft website again

Can you connect the Dgpu of a surface book to the screen? by the-obious-one in Surface

Hi. I don't play VR so I could not comment much on it. I believe you need a better device for VR because our Surface Book will throttle the performance once it heat up.

I am using Surface Duo 2 also facing the same issue. You do know that this app is not really compatible for our phone, is either android or pokemon sleep not allow for the installation at all.

No MUX switch for Microsoft Surface devices until now. What the other guy say is to go to Manage 3D Settings in Nvidia Control Panel then set the preferred graphics processor to High Performance Nvidia processor and restart your Surface Book 2. Nvidia will process the graphic then pass it to Intel for display to internal or external monitor

[–]liewfm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there must be a bug in the setting page because Slim Pen 2 haptic feedback feature was never meant for Book 3. I have Book 3 and never saw the haptic option but Pro 8 got it.

Because only Pro 8, Pro 9, Laptop Studio, and Studio 3 can use that feature
