After I had my Surface Book repaired and it was good for years. I followed my own advice and tried not to use the machine while charging to keep the temperature down. As the years went by with no issues, I got lax and it was starting to show the beginning signs of the problem. It wasn't bad and the display wasn't bulging, but what did happen was the battery in the display went bad.
I wasn't going to put more money into repairing it this time so I bought a new laptop. Obviously I avoided buying one of the Microsoft products this time. I may try to fix it myself now that it's not being used, but it sure seems like a little more difficult than I want to take on. And it will just happen again in the future. The unit still works when plugged in, so it's still functional if I need it for something.
That Surface Book was such a great idea and a nice product if not for the battery failure mode. They should have implemented a temperature sensor to throttle back the charging function when the unit gets too hot. The heat is what seems to reduce the life of the battery and create the issue.
