I highly recommend buying this computer from the manufacturer along with a warranty. I absolutely do not recommend buying it from this seller under any circumstances.TL;DR:Computer worked fine for a few months then instantly became a $879 brick. It is my opinion that the problem was caused by a shoddy "refurbish" job. Shop Sale Prices won't (and probably legally doesn't have to) do anything to fix it.I bought this in machine back in October and it worked pretty much flawlessly for the first few months except for the occasional random "latch failed to open notification" which I kept getting since I unboxed the thing. I didn't think much of it, feeling like I'd saved a bit of money on a nice piece of hardware. I used it in tablet mode and clipboard mode for some digital art things and in laptop mode for my engineering homework. It performed well and I had no complaints overall. Again, absolutely worth buying from the manufacturer.All was well until one day when it immediately turned off. The battery was a bit low so I thought maybe, *maybe* the battery abruptly died. I tried charging it.No signs of life.I tried visiting some of Microsoft's support forums and tried various power/volume button combinations to try to coax it back to life.Still nothing.Finally I emailed this seller and they advised me that I should try the same button combination as per recommended by Microsoft and that my 30 day return window had long since passed, so there was nothing they could do (tried the suggestion anyway just for the hell of it to reach a predictable nothing as the outcome). Company policy. Alright, I thought. This seems legally justified, even if unjust. Unfortunate that this is where we're at with consumer versus corporate interest, but again, not a whole lot to be done see "legally justified". All around disappointed I'd dropped more than month's worth of rent on a laptop that lasted only a few months.With nothing more to lose, I thought I'd crack the lid open and see what could've gone wrong with the thing. I'm studying engineering, and I've built several computers and repaired many laptops, so I figured It'd at least be worth a shot. I removed the tablet part using the button on the base (this was still working as it's controlled by the base itself). Did some more unsuccessful troubleshooting recommended by tech forums before opening the screen.I used a heat gun to (very carefully) remove the glass. With the screen off, I found that one of the springs that control unlocking had failed catastrophically at some point. My guess is that this was the cause of the previous "latch failed to open notification" and possibly the reason for its initial need for refurbishment. Again, just speculating here. The remains of the spring had lodged itself near the top of the computer and likely shorted something out. This would explain the instant loss of power (pictures above). I disassembled the rest of the computer, disconnected the battery, and let everything sit for a while. Sometimes this fixes minor short-induced hardware issues. After reassembly, it is still just as broken. My guess is the spring completely fried something.This sort of thing should be caught during the refurbishing process. One would assume "refurbished" means "without catastrophic hardware issues waiting to happen".
