    Surface 7 Pro wont boot, shows Logo and immediately turns off

    Hello everyone,
    as stated in the title, my surface 7 pro wont boot anymore.
    When i press the power button it shows the square windows logo for a second and immediately turtns off again.
    I dont even have a chance to get into bios or boot from usb.
    While trying to find help online it was suggested to look for help/repair here on badcaps and it might be a ME Region corruption in bios.
    I dont know what that is exactly, but i never tinkered with the bios or windows in terms of hacking/patching etc.
    Bought it directly from microsoft and used it now and then and only used official updates through windows update.
    Please see video.
    If this can be repaired by myself would be optimal but i am open for repair service in germany too.
    I just want to get it wirking again
    Thanks for reading and hopefully i we can fix that together.
    Cheers

        its not letting me into bios or boot from recovery usb.
        Microsoft Service would be probably several 100 euros for fixing me region

            Doesnt Help, tried before Posting, it Just shuts Off immediately. Again, No entry to BIOS or Recovery Menü or boot Menü 😕
            Please watch Video. On Facebook i was routed Here and ask for Help with ME region fix, but probably needs flashing as No Boot possible

              Ok. See above for the dedicated BIOS forum where you can make the request for the proper BIOS.

              A few concerns:

              1) from a quick search on the internet, even pro repair shops are not liking this device due to high failure rate of the display while dismantling. Be aware of this issue and may be a good idea to work with a local who has experience in this field.

              2) you must have the proper tools and background to remove and replace surface mount parts. There is a learning curve and takes years to perfect.

              Contact Ben (man bun tech) in Germany to request a quote for servicing your machine:

              If not practical, post your BIOS request in the above sub-forum. To me, the issue could be power related rather than firmware. First suggestion is to unplug the battery and then attempt to power up again. To do this, the LCD must be carved open which is a risky procedure.

                Hi, sorry for late reply, i wasnt home over the weekend.
                Thanks for your answer, that sounds not promising, but i will try to contact Ben and search for local repair shops as i definitely dont have the skills to open this thing
                Just for understanding, when i unplud battery, will it still turn on with power cord only ?
                Personally i dont think its battery, because if i am patient enough and press the button over 100 times, sometimes it starts and charges normally etc.
                Is there some way to fix the bios when i am in a booted windows ? I would try to boot it again once for trying this.
