Hi,
I just finished talking with MS customer support about same issue discussed here (my Surface book's screen is 'separated' from the top). My extended warranty expired Feb 2021, so just few months later on, the screen showed a kind of yellow spot on left side and this Monday when I opened my MS surface book computer, the screen had the three issues as they describe on their website: 'Lifted, separated, or bulging screen'
It did not came to my mind to search for similar issue prior to contact customer support. However, after listening the only solution offered by them for something that sounded to me a little weird, then I did my search to find that I am not the only one with same issue!
And yes, the solution they offered is the same as most of you got: 'because your extended warranty expired, we can provide you with a replacement (same specifications as your Surface) certified re-furnished-surface, full functioning and with a 90 days warranty' 'The cost will be $599 plus all applicable taxes'
They explained that I must pay the $599 fee plus applicable taxes then they will send a pre-paid UPS or FEDEX label via email, so I must ship the damaged devise and when they have received my device, just then they will ship the replacement.
So, if you do not have another computer to continue doing whatever you do for living, then you will be stuck until a new device arrives!
Please, add me to the growing list for a potential class action lawsuit!
