Surface Pro Won’t Turn On: Fix It Now
Direct Answer
If your Surface Pro won’t turn on, it’s likely due to a drained or faulty battery, a loose connection, or a hardware issue. Try charging your device for at least 30 minutes, and if that doesn’t work, proceed to the step-by-step guide below.
Step-by-Step Guide
To troubleshoot the issue, follow these steps:
1. **Charge your Surface Pro**: Plug in the power cord and let it charge for at least 30 minutes.
2. **Check the power cord and adapter**: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the device and the adapter, and that the adapter is properly plugged into a working outlet.
3. **Press and hold the power button**: Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to discharge any residual power, then release and try turning it on again.
