Apparently, since the Book 3 has come out, Microsoft doesn't sell the original Book 2 chargers anymore, so now we have to get it off of someone that is sponsored by Microsoft and is compatible with the model.

Hello, I noticed today my surface book 2 does not charge while plugging in the charger. I tried both while docking the keyboard in laptop mode and in tablet mode but both does not show any indication of charging. I also noticed the charger does not light up that white led to indicate charging.

2020-08-18T20:57:31+00:00 I know right? I didn't even bother asking for someone to fix it anymore. I just had mine for 1 yr and 1 month. It sucks that it broke 1 month after its warranty. But the most annoying part is that it is a $2000 laptop, thinking it will be a laptop you can use for 3 to 5 yrs but it did what you say.

2020-08-18T20:43:58+00:00 SB2 started doing this on me 6 months ago and I haven't been able to fix it. It will charge through the screen port by itself, but it won't charge through the dock port (either through the surface connector or USB-C)... it will show "plugged in, but not charging" in windows. I just tried swapping the battery in the base but that didn't change anything, and I can't find any replacement boards (the main one in the base, has the USB-C and surface connector with all the smaller boards, battery, kb/m cables plugged into it) to try and replace that.
Pretty much useless $1000 laptop!
