Surface Go uefi version is 1.0.34 and No Bootable Device error

Anonymous

Recently receiving "No Bootable Device" error on Surface go running UEFI 1.0.34.

I've tried all the recovery disk options without success.

Have also noticed a few reddit threads with similar issues with this version in the last week or so

Anyone else seen this and managed to recover their device?

I have lodged multiple support tickets, confirmed there is no way for a user to roll back this firmware update.

I have also lodged a complaint here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoftfeedback 

Edit: 11/7 - After 5-6 weeks I've finally been able to send it back and it's been a fee-free replacement. It has been a lot of back and forth and mentioning this thread with so many other instances of it.

Still waiting for someone to lodge this as a firmware issue.....and remove that version of the firmware from Microsoft site.

    It seems like they are replacing these devices as a fee-free replacement now.

    My recommendation is to lodge a support ticket (either call or web chat).

    Supply this thread, be persistent it is a now a known issue and even if out of warranty insist it be replaced as a fee-free one.

    Sending the serial number and a screen shot with the firmware version installed and confirming you've tried the recovery drive etc now seems to get somewhere.

    Good luck to everyone else.

    It seems, that Microsoft is also replacing my bricked GO.

    The fun part is that I run 4 of these in the company. Only one is bricked so far, the other 3 are actually running on UEFI 1.0.34 and are working so far. Will these stay working or am I sitting on 3 ticking time bombs?
