Microsoft Surface Pro 7: Still not powering on after battery replacement

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:05:45 -0700

I replaced the battery on my surface pro 7 and before the swap, The charger would double blink indefinitely until it was disconnected, After the battery replacement it blinks 1 - 2 - 2/3 -2 and then stops until I press the power button again, Both before and after the replacement there is a red light that stays on solid on the motherboard next to the SSD, The red light only goes out when I disconnect the battery or have the surface connected to the adapter only, I tried button combos to no avail, The display just stays off and the fan doesn't move either. I also tried multiple different adapters and USB-C charging at 65w.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5: touchscreen stopped working after I connected a Bluetooth keyboard.

Sun, 17 May 2026 07:27:02 -0700

Hi. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 (Model 1796). My touchscreen stopped working after I connected a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard worked, but the touchscreen stopped responding. There was no drop or water damage.

In Device Manager, “Surface Tcon Device” shows a yellow warning sign with Code 10 – This device cannot start. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, restarting, and Windows updates, but nothing fixed it.

Could a Bluetooth keyboard connection cause a driver/firmware issue, or is this likely a hardware problem?

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation): Apple Pencil only works when tip is wrapped in tin foil

Thu, 07 May 2026 06:44:15 -0700

My Apple Pencil connects to my iPad via Bluetooth and the double-tap feature to switch tools works perfectly. However, it will not draw or register any touch on the screen unless I wrap the tip in tin foil. I have already replaced the tip 6 times with official Apple tips and verified the gold transducer pin is straight and clean. I've tried forgetting the device, restarting the iPad, and checking accessibility settings. Has anyone found a way to fix this without replacing the whole Pencil? Is there a known internal grounding issue that causes this?
