Steps To Take If Your Charger Is Not Working
Sometimes when you plugged in the charger, your laptop didn’t charge even if the light was flashing or blinking. When you face such an issue, try these things.
Disconnect Charger And Clean the Connectors
There may be a load on the cable, and it needs some rest to work properly. For this, disconnect the charger from your laptop and unplug its cable from the power supply. If you have any USB accessories connected to your Surface, make sure to disconnect these too.
Now, please wait for 10 seconds to let it rest. After it, clean the connector with a dry cloth and plug the charger into your laptop.
Flip The Connector
If your charger is still having issues, you can flip the connector. Flip it to 180° on the charger to see if it works.
Use A Different Power Supply
If your charger didn’t work after cleaning and flipping, try a different power supply to use your Microsoft Surface Pro Charger. There might be an issue with the outlet, and you can charge just by using a different outlet.
Try Surface Dock
Another way to fix your Surface charger is by using the Surface Dock. If your Surface Pro has an empty battery, plug in the Pro charger using an accurate power supply. After it, try to charge with the surface Dock.
Use Another Power Supply
You can use another surface power supply if your pro charger is not working. You can charge your laptop with the available surface power supply. However, if your laptop has a USB-C port, we recommend using the USB-C PD charger instead.
Purchase a Replacement Microsoft Pro Charger
If you still cannot use the Microsoft Surface Pro Charger after trying the above methods, you can purchase another Surface Charger for your laptop. It is the last thing you can do to charge your laptop.
Moreover, we recommend purchasing or replacing the power supply only from the Microsoft Store. Other third-party products are incompatible with the device and may cause further hurdles. So, avoiding these sources and going to the Microsoft Store is a better option.
FAQs
What is the Alternative of the Microsoft Surface Pro Charger?
You can use a USB-C port charger as an alternative to a Microsoft Surface charger. But it is always better if you use a surface charger because, with other USB C ports, the charging speed will be slower compared to the surface charger.
What Can You Do With a USB-C port?
With the USB-C port, you can transfer data, charge other USB accessories, get a little more battery and connect to other compatible devices.
What type of charger does your Surface Pro need?
Charging with a different charger is possible. You can recharge with the USB-C port if you don’t have a charger. But it is highly recommended to use the Surface Pro charger as a USB-C port to charge the device very slowly. You should always recharge your laptop with the Surface Pro charger that comes with the device or with a USB-C PD charger.
