My 3 month old Surface Book 3 has developed a small crack in the screen. 

The crack is about 2cm long , at the top of the screen in the center above the webcam.

It is an upside down semi circle shape. 

Microsoft Support have already told me it will not be covered under warranty.

    I’ve stopped closing my laptop, keeping it always open and draping something light over it to keep dust off.

    Every time I close it something else breaks. This is not how it should be. I should be able to open and close the laptop and be able to reverse the screen. It’s not a desktop.

    Take the laptop back to Microsoft, shout and cry, don't take no for an answer. They will replace your laptop.

    I would say, if they are willing to give you your money back, I would return the laptop and just buy any other laptop from a company who actually make laptops, not from a software maker. I had the same and they replaced my laptop, I was lucky and now I have foam between screen and keyboard

    It's shameless, Microsoft is not a design focused company, it is focused on $$$$

    Microsoft will reply to say that this has happened as a result of user damage / misuse, and you must pay $800 for a replacement screen....

    My Surface book 3 15' i7 also a couple of days ago while i was working i closed the laptop and heard a crack.

    When i opened the lid the screen was cracked around the web camera.

    Not dropped or any other damage. Happened by itself.

    What can I do with this?

    Laptop still under warranty.

    Is this covered and how?
