Surface Pro 3 LGC Battery Degradation

I'm just curious - has anyone heard anything at all from Microsoft?? I lost patience, and found that i could no longer sign in to this community after leaving a particularly irate message - I'm assuming that it's just a coincidence, so i signed up with a different account... I just want to know if I'm totally screwed here, or what? Fair guess is that i am since i don't receive return emails either, but one never knows - last time i spoke with someone from Microsoft i was assured that this was a"known issue, " hence the reason why there is no possibility of any out of warranty fix (in assuming... Yet?)... It's confusing ...i mean, does that mean that since they "know" there is an issue, they must not be responsible for defective hardware? Confused...

I could still sign in, and no MS rep has said anything since acknowledging that this is an issue. Whether or not they are working on a solution, we don't know. Whether or not we'll get an update by the end of the year, we don't know.

For now I am using my Pro3 as a Desktop.

Must have been a weird glitch that day because i just signed in now with my original account.... I'm petty sure that i remember reading your Microsoft community forum name (ashton14) in a story someone recently wrote, about the SP3 battery issue. If you have not received help and you were quoted in the story (can't remember which media outlet wrote it), then there's probably less hope for me lol.

Well, I'm deciding to just practice the art of acceptance. As difficult as it is, i have no choice but to accept that I'm stuck with what i purchased. Some companies will recall defective products and some will not - look at Samsung for example - how long did it take before they issued a recall for the note 7? I think over a year and they were literally blowing up!

Any update on this?  I updated my SP3 this last week or so and was immediately plagued by this issue as well.  While I take comfort in knowing it's not an isolated incident, I'm also greatly concerned that this has been going on for over 2 months now with little to no word from MS as how to resolve or fix the issue, and other support channels (Twitter @SurfaceSupport, MS Answer desk) reply as if they've never heard of the issue.

I dont know what the big deal is. $550 to replace a battery is perfectly reasonable. 

Whys everyone harrassing the Surface team. Have they not been completely transparent since before the release? They even did a Reddit AMA!

In fact, why do you even want to use a year old Surface when you could buy a new one with volume knob?
