    Hi Narayan Kumar Gupta,

    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you've experienced while trying to get support for your Surface device. I understand how frustrating it can be when you need to make a repair claim, especially when your device is covered by an extended warranty and you're unable to reach the assistance you're looking for.

    Please note that Microsoft Q&A is a community forum focused primarily on product questions and technical discussions. We don't have access to customer accounts, warranty information, repair orders, or support cases, so we're unable to directly assist with warranty claims or service requests.

    For Surface repair and warranty service, I recommend following the guidance in the official Microsoft Support article below: How to get service or repair for Surface | Microsoft Support

    The article walks through the process of:

    • Registering or locating your Surface device in your Microsoft account.
    • Checking warranty coverage.
    • Creating a service order.
    • Arranging repair or replacement options where applicable.

    I hope this helps point you in the right direction, and I sincerely apologize for the frustration you've encountered.

    For accidental damage on a personal Surface device under extended coverage, use the Surface service flow tied to the device warranty status:

    1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices.
    2. Sign in and select the Surface device.
    3. Check the warranty status.
    4. If the device is not listed, select Register device first.
    5. Start the service process for the device.

    If accidental damage needs to be handled through Microsoft Complete or the device is treated as out-of-warranty/damaged in the service flow, use the out-of-warranty or damaged Surface service options. That page lists these paths:

    • Start the replacement process online
    • Use Microsoft Complete
    • Get in-person support
    • Perform a self-repair

    If online or phone support is not helping, use these support paths:

    • Open the Surface app, describe the problem, and select Get Help.
    • If the device cannot be used, open Get Help online.
    • If available in the region, choose in-person support and repair through an Authorized Service Provider.
    • If sending the device to Microsoft, create a service order and print a shipping label.

    If the Surface is owned by an organization, contact the organization’s IT helpdesk or admin instead of personal support.
