Mockingbird Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My Surface Pro 3 Type Cover backlight is not working. I just looked at the warranty and the warranty for my Type Cover expires in 7 days. (Which is kind of wired because I just got the Type Cover a little while ago.) The problem is that I can't just sent it in and not have a Type Cover for a few days. (I have things to do for my classes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
