This has much to do with a specific type of Surface Pro 3 battery, the Simplo battery. The first batch of Surface Pro 3 devices were shipped with this battery, but after that Microsoft decided to go with the LGC battery. The Simplo batteries appear to have several problems from faulty sleep states to the battery becoming almost useless after a year of use. And since many of these problems are popping up now, way outside the Surface Pro 3’s one year warranty, this forces users to either pay $500 to fix it or decide to get a new computer. On May 11, Kridsada Thanabulpong posted a complaint about the Surface Pro 3 battery problems on the Microsoft Answers forum: After failing to get the help he needed, Kridsada posted again with the following: Whether or not he will pay the $560 to get the Surface Pro 3 fixed is up in the air right now. We know we wouldn’t because this is clearly the blame is on Redmond. The Surface Pro 3 now ships with Windows 10 installed in case you’re thinking about getting one. Furthermore, a new firmware update was released for the device two months ago. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
